Attack is a player's accuracy in melee combat. As a player raises their Attack level, they can deal damage more consistently as well as wield weapons of stronger materials.

Fighting accurately

In order to efficiently gain experience in the Attack skill, players must choose either the accurate or controlled attack style. While using the accurate style, players gain an invisible +3 attack bonus and gain 4 attack xp per point of damage inflicted. While using the controlled style, players gain an invisible +1 attack bonus and gain 1.33 attack xp per point of damage inflicted. Attack is used to calculate the accuracy of your attacks against an enemy's defence.

Attack bonuses

Some weapons give players Attack bonuses when using certain attack types. These bonuses are noted in the Equipment Stats section of the equipment menu. Attack bonuses give players advantages as well as disadvantages in melee combat, based on their target's strengths and weaknesses.

Stab Daggers, swords, longswords, and pickaxes.
