**<fs 200%>Combat Experience Guide</fs>**

This guide summarizes the fastest methods to gaining combat experience. It includes [[skills:attack|Attack]], [[skills:defence|Defence]], [[skills:Strength|Strength]], [[skills:hitpoints|Hitpoints]], [[skills:magic|Magic]], and [[skills:ranged|Range]]. Combat skills are generally trained through [[guides:pvm_guides|PvM]] or [[skills:slayer|Slayer]], but they can be trained through more efficient methods as well. 

This guide will only focus on the best gear setups. Substitutions can be made, but will result in less Experience per hour.

**<fs large>The Method</fs>**

This method involves playing the [[minigames:zombie_minigame|Zombie Minigame]], which is unlocked after the completion of [[guides:quests:the_last_journey|The Last Journey]]. As the zombies are undead, the [[items:salve_amulet|Salve Amulet (e)]] special effect will continuously heal you as you deal damage. This will allow you to sustain for a long period of time without dying. 

Pray Protect from Melee and turn Auto-Retaliate on. Bring Super Prayer Potions and Overload Potions. If using Magic, bring runes for Blood Barrage and stand in a corner of the arena. 

[[items:brawling_gloves|Brawlers]] may also be substituted for the Ferocious Gloves or Tormented bracelet. You will gain more experience with the [[items:brawling_gloves|Brawling Gloves]], but will deal less damage over time.
