Pay-to-play melee training

See Also: Free-to-play Melee training

This melee training guide will help players train all combat skills from 1 to 99. The guide will explain the best monsters to kill at your level, along with providing the advantages and disadvantages of training on each monster. This guide is for pay-to-play only. This guide assumes you train each melee skill up to the given level.

General Tips

 * Players should find a good balance of food and potions to bring, but also make sure they have space in their inventory for loot.
 * Players can bring Potions, which can speed up kill rates increasing experience. Attack potion, Strength potion, Zamorak brew, Combat potion, Super attack, Super defence, and Prayer potions are a few examples of potions commonly used during training. Be warned when using Zamorak brew as it deals damage when drunk.
 * Players can train slayer and melee simultaneously. Black masks and Slayer helmets give a 15% attack and strength bonus, while enchanted salve amulets give a 20% bonus when fighting undead creatures.
 * Players should bring a one-click teleport like the ectophial or teleport tablet, for a quick teleport, in case you run out of food, prayer or potions. This is VERY encouraged.
 * Halberds can reach over two squares, allowing players to attack from safe spots. Unfortunately, halberds provide slow experience, but players take no damage while fighting a melee monster/boss.
 * If you have any charged Stealing creation armour then WEAR IT. The armour gives double experience in whatever you are training, even when only wearing one piece at a time.

The levels below refer to individual combat stat levels, not to the overall combat level of the player.

Level 16 to 30
By this point, players will probably have Steel armour and a Steel weapon, Black armour, or Mithril armour for higher defence. It is recommended to still stick with killing lower levelled NPCs, but if players can handle more of a challenge then the following monsters can be trained on.

Disadvantages:
 * They vary in level and some attack with range.

3. Kill Al Kharid Warriors in the Al Kharid palace.

4. Kill Minotaurs in the 1st level of the Stronghold of Security.



Advantages:
 * Frequent iron arrow drops.

Tips:
 * Stick with the level 12 ones at first. There are level 27 Minotaurs further in the Stronghold. None of them are aggressive.
 * Minotaurs commonly drop iron arrows, around 7 to 14 at a time.

5. Kill Rock Crabs in the northern Fremennik Province (completion of Fremennik Trials quest recommended for a better training area).

Disadvantages:

1. Kill Hill Giants in Edgeville dungeon.

Advantages:

 * They are aggressive.

Disadvantages:
 * You must go through the wilderness to reach them, so you run the risk of being attacked by Revenants.

 * There is an agility obstacle before the wilderness location.
 * Revenants occasionally pass through the wilderness portion of the Edgeville Dungeon (Only about 1-2 per hour, they will go in a straight line so you can avoid being attacked by keeping to the side).

'''4. Kill Zombies or Skeletons found in many places. '''



Advantages:

 * A lot of people train at the Flesh Crawlers, leading to extreme crowding.

Tips:
 * Since the Flesh Crawlers will only be aggressive for a limited time, leave the area and go to the next nearest area where there are more Flesh Crawlers. By doing this, players can continually switch back and forth between areas, so they will always attack you. Do not go up any ladder you find, as you will be transported back to the starting area of the level.

Training Tips
1. Scimitars are great weapons to train with until 70 Attack. At 60 attack it is recommended to do quests that allow you to equip the dragon weapons.

2. Poisoned Weapons can inflict poison that does 4-6 damage per hit (which does not gain exp from it). This can be used to increase kills in some cases. The Dragon Dagger's special attack can poison and deal good damage, making it the best way to poison a target.

3. When players can enter the Warriors' Guild, it is recommended that players retrieve the highest Defender they are able to wield. (Note: In order for he/she to get into the Warriors' Guild, he/she must have their Attack and Strength level added up to 130 levels. EX: attack 65 and strength 65 OR level 99 in either Attack or Strength.)

4. Abyssal Whip is the best weapon to use in conjunction with a dragonfire shield or rune defender, however it cannot be used to train Strength (unless using the 'controlled' option).

5. When players are able to wear full sets of Barrows armour, their special effects can help greatly in battle as they can be interchanged with regular weapons. Dharok the Wretched's set for extremely high strength at lower Hitpoints (Best used with prayer or super defence potions and food, players should watch their Hitpoints), and Guthan the Infested's set for healing and can be very helpful when used off and on with something more damaging.

6. Poorer players are advised not to buy certain pieces of Dragon armour (mainly the Dragon chainbody, Dragon platebody and Dragon full helmet) unless they want it just for show. There are, arguably, cheaper and better alternatives.

7. With the appropriate ranged level, players can use dragonhide armour which has good defence versus all types of attacks, especially magic.

8. The Excalibur's Special attack boosts a player's Defence level temporarily and the Enhanced Excalibur will also heal you.

9. If players can afford them, use Potions to speed up kills.

10. Another good way to train at all levels is Pest Control, you can spend the reward points on attack, strength, defence, hitpoints or any other combat skill except summoning.

11. Members may kill Experiments once they have started Creature of Fenkenstrain, they give 400 experience per kill and with sacred clay weapons 800 experience per kill.

12. A good tip to remember is to train on monsters anywhere from 20 to 40 combat levels lower than your own to maximise the amount of experience with the minimum amount of food.

13. Most of the Fremennik helms have, albeit small, offensive bonuses, which are useful for training when defence is generally not as important as damage output. These items include the Warrior helm (+5 slash attack, wearable after completion of The Fremennik Trials,) the Berserker helm (+3 strength, wearable after completion of The Fremennik Trials,) and The Helm of Neitiznot (+3 strength,) obtained for free after completion of The Fremennik Isles.)

14. The gloves from Recipe For Disaster have fairly large attack and strength bonuses and are therefore very useful for training and all round use. They culminate in the excellent Gloves, which have +12 attack in stab, crush and slash along with +12 in strength.

15. The Warrior ring and Berserker ring have +4 attack in slash and +4 strength, respectively, and are therefore useful for training. These stats can be doubled after the imbuing reward from Mobilizing Armies. However, the Ring of Wealth is generally preferable to these, assuming the player is intending to make money while training.

16. The Fighter Torso, obtained through the Barbarian assault minigame, gives a +4 strength bonus, useful for training.

17. Bandos Chestplate and Bandos Tassets give a +4 and +2 strength bonus respectively, making them useful for training.

18. Dragon Boots give a +4 strength bonus, useful for training.
