How about putting a note that says the strength potion is the only potion avalible to non-members? --Wiiwantxbox 01:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hits
Does anyone know rough estimates of what level it takes to hit, say, tens or elevens, etc.? Bl a st  12,01,07 0318 (UTC -5)
 * Depends on the weapon, obviously... Do you mean unarmed? probably around 75, I'd guess. 194.80.21.10 09:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Also depends on prayer and potions, etc... I can hit about 11 with strength potion and superhuman strength prayer but without them, I hit around 8-9 so ya, it depends on a lot of things.22:24, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Defence
If anybody is wondering, I removed the line mentioning defence "It is important not to forget one's defence.", as it sounded a bit biased. It made no mention of "It is important not to forget one's attack" and the fact that many pures and people that focus on pking prefer to keep defence low makes that comment an unbalanced one reflecting the person who posted that comment's viewpoint.

i think i could do 7 or 8 damage without my wep. Is that good. Im a lvl 70. sorry this was ment to be on the hits page.

Why not other things to increase strength?
I'm a not noob to runescape and have just learned how to increase strength.I'm very stupid for not knowing how to do that. I'm a little dismayed that other physical activities cannot increase strength such as mining or running. It would make the game more interesting, in my humble opinion if this skill could be increased by those methods or even by adding weight rooms, exercise facilities, and even sports quests. Just my thoughts.
 * Actually, that's an excellent point--there ARE other ways to train strength besides combat. You can train strength with barbarian fishing, by opening sarcophagi in Pyramid Plunder, and I think there's a task in the Blast Furnace minigame that trains strength, but I can't remember specifics. Those are all I can think of off-hand, and I'm at work right now so my researching abilities are limited. --nekobawt 19:59, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

--- There are indeed some other ways to get Strength experience but none of those are really viable training methods. (Although if you are going for 99 fish through barbarian fishing you will receive quite a bit of extra strength xp). However since Strength is already such a popular and fast skill it wouldnt really be necessary to add extra training methods.
 * I don't think I agree that it's not necessary to explain other ways of training Strength. Skill pures, for example, might like to know what activities to avoid in order to not gain combat experience. So would players who don't want their strength to go above a certain level. Besides, I was under the impression that the point of the RuneScape Wikia was to be as informative as possible about the game (correct me if I'm wrong). Different players have different ways of wanting to play the game and advance in levels, and if someone wants to train a skill in an unorthodox (and perhaps inefficient) method, that's their prerogative. --nekobawt 18:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Strength training help
Are there specific weapons that help raise strength faster than others? I've heard that using things like battleaxes, maces, and mauls can help raise strength faster. It would be useful to have that information here if there are such items. 19:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's 4 points per damage done, same for every weapon; so it's just the weapon with a best damage:time ratio which has a strength training option. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  12:22, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

im not sure but i think they are right about the training strength bit. I am only a lvl 70 on runescape and i want my strength to be 60. Im training with a dragon longsword so i think ill stick with that.

Max hit?
what is the max hit you can do in runescape?

Well to be able to answer your question, we need to find the weapon with the highest stength bonus, and adding all the best bonuses you can get from your equpiment and prayer, and potions. Boes anyone have an idea what weapon might have the strongest strength bonus? Many have told me it might be Dharoks Greataxe.
 * Godsword. 'Nuff said. --220.237.38.93 11:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Dharoks still hits higher. Godsword can't hit 100+. JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  12:21, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

max strength bonus
aded it --j-g 17:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

my max hit is 16 with the dragon longswords spiecial but ive seen the people can do 110 with dharok. Im not sure wot is the highest strength bonus though

P1k hunter 6 can hit a 29 with dragon longsword, 26, 27 with dragon dagger special, with full Dharoks he can hit 47s. with his range 12 12 with rune arrows with magic short bow. P1k hunter 6 can hit a 45 with Bandos godsword. Also 27 with abby whip. he has a torso, rune defender, rune platelegs, dragon scimitar, dragon dagger or granite maul on him and he has a dragon med helm.

Monkey guard exp rate accurate?
I've heard stories of people getting upwards of 200k+ strength exp per hour at monkey guards using super sets, piety and lava titans at high strength levels. Could somebody verify this for me? Chukonu xbow 02:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Dharoks + Monkey madness training = Phails.

Bandits with d b a ftw.

02:10, 21 October 2008 (UTC)02:10, 21 October 2008 (UTC)== new f2p max hit ==

now that there is the corrupted dragon equipment, i believe the new max str bonus is 101 (baxe and berserk rune sheild) i'm relatively new and won't update it 'cuz i fear screwing it up, but it should still be updated. Gannonspetmoblin 02:41, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Ok sorry if i'm rude but whoever told you 101+ is the highest strength bonus is completely full of "stuffing".I've had higher with a whip and torso with d boots and family gaunts and neitz helm. And anyways, any godsword (not counting saradomin sword) has a strength bonus of around 130 i believe. and dharocks is aroung 120. For the highest melee hits on runescape, use dharocks. Even though u can hit much higher with range. I've seen 150's with range.If you have any comments, my user is sponserthis.

I believe Gannon meant the max F2P bonus...Shinray1kuo 03:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Double Dharok Damage?
"Dharok's armours special effect hits double normal damage at 10% hp or lower." - Can we get a reference to prove this please? Otherwise I'm adding a disputed tag.Planeshifted 01:34, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm confused...
Why do we have a combat training guide on this page? Especially when we don't have one on either the Attack or Defence pages. WWTDD? 17:23, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I concur with this. It seems to suggest bias in favor of pures in order to put the training section on Strength. -- 05:55, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * If you think there's something wrong with it, feel free to fix it. I personally see it as showing no bias, however in that not all people frequent and edit the same articles. Also consider that many people don't look for guides on where to train as they already know or would rather find it themselves. (Oops, forgot to sign) 23:07, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Hiscores
I thought the current minimum rank to be on the hiscores was to be Level 61, although it comes up as 60. I think this should be changed, but would you just have to right it out - it seems to be in some sort of script at the moment. Small090 - 14:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * To update the rank you have to edit Template:Hiscores lowest rank. I have done so now (for all skills). 18:51, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

FTP Max hit
There seems to be a lot of edits to it, mainly changing it from 37 to 39 then back to 37, and so on. Does anyone have any confirmation for or against either of them? Or something else entirely? 13:40, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
