Combat is an important aspect of the game, and killing monsters is one of most direct ways of gaining wealth. Combat is also needed to complete many of the quests, and can be used to fight other players .
Players are ranked in strength based upon their combat level. Combat levels are based upon a math formula which considers 7 skill areas: a player's attack, defence, strength, hit points, prayer, magic and ranged skill. Other skills, while benificial will not increase one's combat level.
Combat is subdivided into three primary categories: melee, ranged, and magic; a so-called combat triangle.
Claws
Claws are a members only item and can be smithed and equipped only after completing the Death Plateau Quest . Claws are comparable to daggers in attack, accuracy and speed, but have some serious drawbacks. They are two handed, and a shield or prayer book cannot be equipped at the same time. They are also more expensive, as they take more bars and a higher level to smith . These disadvantages don't make them a very popular weapon. There are no dragon claws yet in existence. Rune claws are the only claws that have a special attack - impale - which is more powerful and more accurate, but slower than normal.
