About training Attack

Attack governs how often your melee swings actually land and gates every weapon upgrade from steel at 5 to the abyssal whip at 70. Training it is mostly about parking yourself on high-HP, low-Defence targets: quest xp skips the painful early levels, crabs carry the mid game semi-AFK, and Nightmare Zone or Sulphur Naguas close out the run to 99. Lock your combat style on Accurate, since every point of damage dealt pays a flat 4 Attack xp.

Did you know: Level 99 Attack costs 13,034,431 xp, and Accurate-style melee pays exactly 4 xp per damage - so every 99 Attack cape represents 3,258,608 hitpoints of monsters chewed through, the equivalent of roughly 54,300 sand crabs.
