Strength

Strength is melee damage on RuneScape. This page is the RuneScape sheet. Train it on the same Slayer task as Attack.

Strength in RuneScape

Unlock

Nothing extra. Use the same weapons and the same ability bar as Attack.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Fight the same cows or Taverley tasks as Attack.
    Place
    Stand on that same spot.
    Click
    Click Strength if Attack is already ahead.
    Leave
    Leave any private Strength camp.
  • Mid

    Method
    Do the same Slayer tasks.
    Place
    Stand on the task.
    Click
    Click the monster and keep Attack within about ten levels.
    Leave
    Leave if you opened a second spot just for this number.
  • Late

    Method
    Stay on Slayer.
    Place
    Stand where the task is.
    Click
    Click the style that is behind.
    Leave
    Leave boss damage on the Bosses page.

Inventory

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Use the weapon that matches the weakness. Wear Strength bonus, not a costume. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Same coins as Attack. A weapon that hits harder matters more than a second set of armour.

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 the weapon that matches the weakness. Wear Strength bonus, not a costume.

Mistakes

Do not grind Strength with a staff. Do not ignore Slayer for a second monster camp.

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.
