Attack Tips

Runescape Attack Levelling Tips:

Level 1 - 10 players should use the dummy at Varrock opposite the east bank. Players can also fight low level monsters such as chickens and cows.
Level 11- 30 players can continue fighting cows and banking the cow hides for later use or for selling. Barbarians may also prove to be useful to levelling up melee when you can comfortably kill them. Al-Kharrid fighters are popular with non-members but it should be noted that you can be attacked by more than one at the same time so you will need to position yourself correctly to ensure only one is attacking you at any time.
Level 31 - 50 players can look at fighting any level monster upto level 20. This will ensure they stand a good chance of hitting the monster and a lower risk of dying from being hit by the monster.
Level 51- 90 players can continue fighting city guards and may consider moving onto lesser demons and other monsters. Hill giants prove to be quite popular for people at level 51+ combat. Members will have much more choice available and any monster half your current combat level can provide an ideal training monster.
Level 91+ is really when any monster is viable to train against. The main thing is to make sure you have sufficient food when fighting any higher level monsters.

Attack Experience Tips:

Fighting in Accurate style will give you 4 experience points per damage point inflicted on an opponent.
Fighting in controlled style will give you 1.3 experience points per damage point inflicted on an opponent.

Other Runescape Attack Tips:

Using normal attack potion you can boost your attack level between 3 - 12 points depending on your current attack level.
Using Super Attack potion you can boost your attack level between 5 - 19 points depending on your current attack level.
Armour giving + bonus to your attack will help you hit opponents more often. This is in addition to weapons that give + bonus to your attack so all armour locations should have something on them to maximise your bonus.
Some monsters will be weaker to different attack styles ( slash, stab or crush) and can therefore be hit more often using a weapon that has an accurate attack for that style.
Zamorak Potion can boost attack between 2-21 points.
Saradomin Brew causes you to lose between 2-9 Attack points.
