Attack

Attack is melee accuracy on RuneScape. This page is the RuneScape sheet. Levels come from Slayer, not a dummy.

Attack in RuneScape

Unlock

You can start today. Your weapon tier follows your Attack level. Revolution is the ability bar that fires for you until you choose otherwise.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Fight cows in Lumbridge, or take the first Slayer tasks in Taverley.
    Place
    Stand where those monsters are.
    Click
    Click the monster with Revolution on.
    Leave
    Leave the combat dummy behind.
  • Mid

    Method
    Do Slayer with a weapon that matches the monster's weakness.
    Place
    Stand on the task.
    Click
    Click the monster, and use an aggression potion only if the task wants one.
    Leave
    Leave a second camp that ignores Slayer.
  • Late

    Method
    Stay on Slayer with the best melee weapon you can repair.
    Place
    Stand on the task.
    Click
    Click the bar, then eat.
    Leave
    Leave boss practice on the Bosses page.

Inventory

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Use a melee weapon of the tier you can hold. Wear power armour you can repair. Leave Revolution on until you know the bar. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

A melee weapon you can repair is the bill. Slayer drops pay some of it back. Do not buy a bow to train Attack. Check the wiki for the price.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Use a melee weapon of the tier you can hold. Wear power armour you can repair. Leave Revolution on until you know the bar.

Mistakes

Do not train Attack with a staff. Do not turn on full manual at level 40 because a video said so.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
