Inventory

Wear armour that adds Strength. Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Bring food you will eat. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Same coins as Attack. Armour that adds Strength makes the hits bigger. Check the wiki before you buy a second set.

Iron fork

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

Kit

Wear armour that adds Strength. Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Bring food you will eat.

Mistakes

Do not take Strength to 99 while Attack sits at 60. You will miss, then wonder why.

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.
