As a player raises their Attack level, they can deal damage more consistently as well as wield weapons of stronger materials. In order to gain experience in the Attack stat, players must choose the accurate attack style. While using the style, players gain an invisible +3 attack bonus. Some weapons give players Attack bonuses when using certain attack types. These bonuses are noted in the Equipment Stats section of the equipment menu. Attack bonuses give players advantages as well as disadvantages in melee combat, based on their target's strengths and weaknesses. **Weapon Requirements** ^ {{images:skills:attack.png?nolink|Attack}} Level ^ Weapon ^^ Other Requirements ^ | 1 | {{items:icons:1277.png?nolink|Bronze Sword}} | Bronze Weapons | None | | 1 | {{items:icons:1279.png?nolink|Iron Sword}} | Iron Weapons | None | | 1 | {{items:icons:6605.png?nolink|White Sword}} | White Weapons | None | | 1 | {{items:icons:11061.png?nolink|Ancient Mace}} | Ancient Mace | None | | 5 | {{items:icons:1281.png?nolink|Steel Sword}} | Steel Weapons | None | | 10 | {{items:icons:1283.png?nolink|Black Sword}} | Black Weapons | None | | 20 | {{items:icons:1285.png?nolink|Mithril Sword}} | Mithril Weapons | None | | 30 | {{items:icons:1287.png?nolink|Adamant Sword}} | Adamant Weapons | None | | 40 | {{items:icons:1287.png?nolink|Rune Sword}} | Rune Weapons | None | | 50 | {{items:icons:4675.png?nolink|Ancient Staff}} | Ancient Staff | 50 {{images:skills:magic.png?nolink|Magic}} | | 50 | {{items:icons:4153.png?nolink|Granite Maul}} | Granite Maul | 50 {{images:skills:strength.png?nolink|Strength}} | | 60 | {{items:icons:10887.png?nolink|Barrelchest Anchor}} | [[npcs:barrelchest|Barrelchest Anchor]] | 40 {{images:skills:strength.png?nolink|Strength}} | | 60 | {{items:icons:4587.png?nolink|Dragon Scimitar}} | Dragon Weapons | None | | 60 | {{items:icons:6523.png?nolink|Obsidian Sword}} | Obsidian Weapons | The Obsidian maul (Tzhaar-ket-om) instead requires 60 {{images:skills:strength.png?nolink|Strength}}, with no attack requirement. \\ The Obsidian staff also requires 60 {{images:skills:magic.png?nolink|Magic}}. | | 70 | {{items:icons:13263.png?nolink|Abyssal Bludgeon}} | [[npcs:abyssal_sire|Abyssal Bludgeon]] | 70 {{images:skills:strength.png?nolink|Strength}} | | 70 | {{items:icons:13265.png?nolink|Abyssal Dagger}} | [[npcs:abyssal_sire|Abyssal Dagger]] | None | | 70 | {{items:icons:4151.png?nolink|Abyssal Whip}} | Abyssal Whip | None | | 70 | {{items:icons:41540.png?nolink|Whip of Souls}} | [[items:custom_whips|Custom Whips]] | None | | 70 | {{items:icons:4718.png?nolink|Dharok's Greataxe}} | [[minigames:barrows|Barrows Weapons]] | 70 {{images:skills:strength.png?nolink|Strength}} for Dharok's Greataxe and Torag's Hammers. \\ 70 {{images:skills:magic.png?nolink|Magic}} for Ahrim's Staff. | | 70 | {{items:icons:11838.png?nolink|Saradomin Sword}} | [[npcs:commander_zilyana|Saradomin Sword]] | None | | 70 | {{items:icons:11824.png?nolink|Zamoraian Spear}} | [[npcs:kril_tsutsaroth|Zamorakian Spear (Hasta)]] | None | | 75 | {{items:icons:12006.png?nolink|Abyssal Tentacle}} | [[npcs:kraken|Abyssal Tentacle]] | None | | 75 | {{items:icons:19675.png?nolink|Arclight}} | [[guides:catacombs|Arclight]] | None | | 75 | {{items:icons:11802.png?nolink|Armadyl Godsword}} | [[guides:god_wars_dungeon|Godswords]] | None | | 75 | {{items:icons:11791.png?nolink|Staff of the Dead}} | [[npcs:kril_tsutsaroth|Staff of The Dead]] ([[npcs:zulrah|Toxic]]) | 75 {{images:skills:magic.png?nolink|Magic}} | | 78 | {{items:icons:40228.png?nolink|Vesta's Longsword}} | [[items:ancient_warrior_equipment|Ancient Warrior Weapons]] | None | | 80 | {{items:icons:40628.png?nolink|Chaotic Rapier}} | [[items:chaotic_equipment|Chaotic Weapons]] | None | **Note:** Halberds of any material require a Strength level equal to one-half of their Attack level requirement. **Temporary Boosts** ^ Boost ^^ Level Increase ^ Other info ^ | {{items:icons:2428.png?nolink|Attack Potion (4)}} | Attack Potion | 3-12 | Boosts Attack by (Level * 0.1 + 3) | | {{items:icons:9739.png?nolink|Combat Potion (4)}} | Combat Potion | 3-12 | Boosts Attack and Strength by (Level * 0.1 + 3) | | {{items:icons:2436.png?nolink|Super Attack (4)}} | Super Attack | 5-19 | Boosts Attack by (Level * 0.15 + 4) | | {{items:icons:12695.png?nolink|Super Combat Potion (4)}} | Super Combat Potion | 5-19 | Boosts Attack and Strength by (Level * 0.15 + 4) | | {{items:icons:2450.png?nolink|Zamorak Brew (4)}} | Zamorak Brew | 2-21 | Boosts Attack by (Level * 0.1 + 3) | | {{items:icons:41880.png?nolink|Overload (4)}} | [[items:overload|Overload]] | 5-26 | Boosts Attack, Strength, and Defence by (Level * 0.22 + 5) | **Useful Items** {{tablelayout?colwidth="80px,240px,480px"}} ^ Item ^^ Effects ^ | {{items:icons:42686.png?nolink|Brawling Gloves (melee)}} | [[items:brawling_gloves|Brawling Gloves (melee)]] | 30% Additional Experience and PkP | {{wst>skills}}
