A '''medium-level build''' or '''med''' is an account build characterised by moderately high stat benchmarks that are achieved for their powerful weapon, armour, and prayer unlocks. Meds typically have 75 [[Attack]], 77 [[Prayer]], and 75 [[Defence]]. Among other things, this allows the build to use [[Piety]], [[Rigour]], [[Augury]], and wear the [[Serpentine helm]]. Med accounts boast a significantly lower combat level than mains while carrying a similar level of offensive firepower. This allows meds to attack low combat builds such as [[Berserker (Account build)|Berserkers]] or [[One-defence pure]]s in low-to-moderate wilderness and exercise significant gear and stat advantages over them.

==Notable quests==
Experience management is more lenient on a med than on a [[Berserker (Account build)|Berserker]] or a [[One-defence pure]]. Quests alone will not get the account to the desired levels without several hours of training. This is true for every combat stat on the account, and as a result, the list of quests which are barred from completion due to undesired experience rewards is non-existent if experience is managed. Med level accounts can complete all quests in the game. They notably make for capable PvM and skilling alts as well as PKing accounts due to this quality, though their 75 attack cap does cut off some end-game weaponry particularly important for PvM, most notably the [[Osmumten's fang]] and [[Scythe of vitur]].

== Training methods ==
''For more information, see [[Pay-to-play melee training]].''

Most meds focus on training [[Strength]] to 99 and [[Attack]] to 75, as well as [[Ranged]] to 99 and [[Magic]] to 94 for [[Vengeance]] if veng PK'ing, for [[Ice barrage]] if NH PK'ing on ancients, or to 95 for [[Fire surge]] if NH PK'ing on standards.

For the most part, meds use very similar training methods as main accounts. They are also notably one of the few PvP builds that are practical to train [[Slayer]] with, and thus may use Slayer-specific equipment such as [[leaf-bladed weapons]].
