'''Attack''' (sometimes shortened to '''Att''' or '''Atk''') is a [[melee]] [[combat]] [[skills|skill]] that determines the accuracy of a player's melee attacks. The higher the Attack level, the fewer misses a player will incur. A player's Attack level also determines which weapons he or she can use. {{Skill minimum rank|Attack}} {{Skill 99s|Attack}}

==Fighting Accuracy==
Attack is primarily trained using the "Accurate" attack style, accessed from the [[Combat Styles]] [[interface]]. Attack is often overlooked in RuneScape, as [[PKers]] generally focus on power rather than accuracy, although people with medium-high defence will generally have the advantage in a situation against a strength pure, even if the person has higher strength, which is why it's essential to train Attack to a high enough level later on. You can also take attack potions to temperaily boost the attack stat.

==Experience ==

A formula is used that decides how much [[experience]] a player obtains when fighting accurately. If a player hits an opponent, the damage dealt is divided by 2.5 and that amount of experience is given to the Attack skill. For example, if a player hits a 10, then he will receive 4 Attack experience.

Some experience is also given to a player's [[Constitution]] level when he deals damage. This experience is given in addition to the Attack experience

If a player fights with the "controlled" [[attack style]], then the damage dealt is divided by 7.5 and given to the player's Attack, [[Strength]], [[Defence]], and [[Constitution]] level.

Many players use the [[Abyssal whip]] to train Attack, because of its quick speed, and high slash and strength bonuses. Players who cannot afford an Abyssal whip may use a [[Dragon scimitar]] instead.

===Combat training (dummies)===
*Players with an Attack level of 1 or above can train on dummies at [[Lumbridge]]. You can train on these dummies regardless of your attack level, unlike in [[Varrock]]. But these dummies only offer 1xp per hit, so this is not a good alternative.
*Players with an Attack level of 8 or lower can train on dummies at Varrock giving 5xp per hit. It takes 161 hits to go from 0xp to level 8.
*[[Members]] with an Attack level of 5 or above, with completion of the [[Biohazard]] quest, can train on dummies in the [[Combat Training Camp]].

Dummies are sandbags which players can hit and not risk being dealt damage. Striking a dummy in Varrock gives 5.2 Attack experience. In Lumbridge, striking a dummy gives 0.1 experience. The Varrock dummy does not give any Constitution experience, however the Lumbridge dummy will give a small amount. [[Dummy|Dummies]] can be found in various places across ''[[RuneScape]]'', though the most popular places are north of [[Varrock]]'s east bank and in the tutor building in [[Lumbridge]].

==Attack bonuses==
{{main|Equipment bonuses#Attack bonuses}}

Almost all weapons give players "attack bonuses" to certain [[attack types]]. These bonuses can be seen in the [[Equipment Stats]] menu, to the right of the inventory menu. Attack bonuses give players advantages as well as disadvantages in combat.

===Other attack bonuses===
* An [[amulet of accuracy]] gives an equipment bonus of +5 to all attack types.
* An [[amulet of power]] gives an equipment bonus of +6 to all attack types.
* An [[amulet of glory]] gives an equipment bonus of +10 to all attack types. This is [[member]]'s only.
* The [[beads of the dead]] gives +1 in all styles. It is also [[member]]'s only.
* An [[amulet of fury]] gives the same bonuses as the [[Amulet of Glory]] in the attack stats, but has more defensive capabilities. It is also [[member]]'s only.
* A [[warrior ring]] gives an equipment bonus of +4 to Slash. It is also [[member]]'s only.
* Any gloves received as a reward from the [[Culinaromancer]]'s Chest as a reward from the [[Recipe for Disaster]] quest gives substantial attack bonuses in stab, slash and crush; the more expensive, the better the bonuses. Note that each name of the type of glove is assumed by appearance, as Jagex has called the gloves simply "Gloves." All of the gloves below are [[member]]'s only.
** "Bronze" [[gloves]] provide equipment bonuses of +2 in each melee style.
** "Iron" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +3 in each melee style.
** "Steel" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +4 in each melee style.
** "Black" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +5 in each melee style.
** "Mithril" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +6 in each melee style.
** "Adamantite" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +7 in each melee style.
** "Rune" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +8 in each melee style.
** "Dragon" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +9 in each melee style.
** "Barrows" gloves provide equipment bonuses of +12 in each melee style.
* [[Defender]]s are weapons which can be wielded in the shield slot and provide different attack bonuses depending on the type of metal.
*A player's maximum stab bonus is +180.
*A player's maximum slash bonus is +191.
*A player's maximum crush bonus is +214.

They will disappear after fifteen minutes of wearing, but require a lower level (20) requirement than the regular versions.
|-

|[[Adamant weapons|Adamant]]
|30
|Adamant weapons are stronger than mithril weapons.
|-
|[[File:New Rune Scimitar.png]]

|-
|[[File:Sacred clay scimitar.png]]
|''[[Sacred Clay Weapon|Sacred Clay]]''
|40
|Only available as a [[Sacred clay scimitar|Scimitar]]. Can only by wielded by [[members]]. Can grant double combat experience.

|[[File:Granite mace inv.png]]

|-
|[[File:TokTz-Xil-Ak.png]]
|''[[Obsidian weapons|Obsidian]]''
|60
|Obsidian weapons are stronger than rune weapons. Obsidian can only be wielded by [[members]].
|-
|[[File:New Dragon Scimitar.png]]
|''[[Dragon weapons|Dragon]]''
|60
|[[Dragon weapons]] are stronger than rune weapons. All offer a [[special attack]], it is believed by some lower levels that all Dragon weapons special attacks offer a higher hit. This is NOT true. To understand what their special attacks perform please refer to the item in question. Dragon can only be wielded by [[members]].
|-
|[[File:CorruptScimitar.png]]
|[[Corrupt dragon equipment|Corrupt dragon]]
|60
|Corrupt Dragon weapons are stronger than rune weapons. They provide the same bonuses as normal ''Dragon'' equipment, and can be wielded by all players (but only [[members]] can use their [[special attack]]s). These weapons will disappear after 30 minutes of the first time they are equipped, unless put in a bank which "freezes" the countdown, but does not reset it (on '''both''' PvP and non-PvP worlds). They are generally more expensive than normal dragon weapons, so most member players decide not to buy them.
|-
|[[File:Dharok's greataxe.png]]
|''[[Barrows Weapons|Barrows]] and [[Whip]] ''
|70
|[[Barrows]] is the third strongest set of melee equipment in the game. Barrows can only be wielded by [[members]]. Each set of Barrows items (e.g. all of Verac the Defiled's armour plus his flail) give a special set effect that takes place as long as the full set is worn.
|-
|[[File:Saradomin-godsword-inv.png]]
|''[[Godsword]]''
|75
|The [[Godsword]] is the most powerful non-degrading weapon in the game. It was released with the [[God Wars Dungeon]].
|-
|[[File:Vesta's-longsword-inv.png]]
|''[[Ancient Warriors' Equipment]]''
|78
|Ancient Warriors' Equipment is currently the second strongest set of melee equipment in the game. The regular (non-corrupt) sets will disappear after one hour of combat (not wearing), but require a higher level (78) requirement than the corrupt versions. Also, only the non-corrupt versions have a special attack.
|-
|[[File:Chaotic rapier.png]]
|''[[Chaotic Weapons]]''
|80
|Requiring an attack level of 80 these weapons are the highest possible attack level needed to wield any weapon.(Outside of [[Dungeoneering]]) They are arguably the most difficult weapons to get too. Seeing as they cost 200k Dungeoneering tokens, which requires at least 2 million dungeoneering experience. These weapons DO NOT have special attacks. The Chaotic Maul has a greater strength bonus than the godswords, and there is heated debate on if this will be a greater KO weapon. (The [[Armadyl Godsword]] will hit higher with its special, despite the lower strength bonus)
|}

There are also many other miscellaneous weapons all over ''RuneScape'' which do not fit into any particular category. They are often quest rewards or rare drops from monsters. They include [[Keris]], [[Balmung]] and the [[Abyssal Whip]].
