We watch your guides because you always show the most beginner friendly method without making it patronizing. Thank you!

Did this man really put on rune armor and go to crabs with max combat stats. #respect

1-99 melee guide, attack monsters until you 13million experience points

I have 99 all melee and I still watched the whole video cause your vids are always satisfying 😌

I'm sure you knew this, but it's worth noting that it is possible to roll an attack "hit" but get a "0" damage roll. This makes strength also increase accuracy, particularly at lower levels. If you had 99 att/1 str, you would still hit 50% 0's on chickens (with no equipment/prayer) because even though you would roll a hit every time, you have equal chance of rolling 0 and 1 damage.

Iv been playing since a teen and never understood how to level up more efficiently… this video is perfect

Cb level 113 here and still using the fighter torso. That one is definitely one of the best ones to get, since it has the same strength bonus as the bandos chestplate.

Note that you should use Overload potions from NMZ to maximize exp and save money. You can also flick rapid heal on and off to reset your health regen to prevent you from going above 1hp. Overloads make it so you cant go below 51hp since they damage you for 50hp. This is much better if you have it open on another monitor but I would recommend his method with super combats if you are at work/can't check RS that often.

Got max melee stats and still watched and loved your video. Good job 👍

one thing to note, even if early slayer is slower, you can grind out slayer points and have the slayer helm a bit earlier and get that bad boy imbued! potentially saves time in the long run if you plan on leveling mainly with slayer anyways, 'bis mage ranged and melee helm on task', and will help tank on tasks where you would normally be wearing dog shit on your head like earmuffs xD might not be the most 'efficient' but i liked killing the lower lvl monsters for early slayer and seeing areas/monsters i normally would never fight. there is also a cheese method of getting a ton of slayer points early to unlock the helm, even off task its as good as a rune helm, and it doesn't require any specific slayer level to wear granting you the benefits of the nose peg before lvl 60 slayer, kinda pog

assuming new players are watching this as a guide, wouldnt it be useful to add the names of items on screen/name the gear so that the new players know what to search for? Searching for an image is rather difficult

5:40 I’d actually reccomend going and knocking out Horror from the Deep, Filling an Unholy Book and/or Book of War and using that instead of the Rune Kiteshield. You get a bit of Strength XP from the quest as well as an amazingly useful and fully replaceable offhand that you’ll be using for a long time.

melee is one of the skill sets that actually can be done fairly effectively in f2p, would have been neat to cover some of that.

Hey, you forgot bandit camps with Guthans. I used to do that in 2008. When I was bored in class, I used to take out my ipod touch and use an application that mirrored my screen from my home computer. Never died and I only had to check in every 2 or 3 hours. Guthans used to put in the AFK work. Not sure if it does anymore, but it was easy to go from 70 to 99.

I'm curious if there are more new players watching than there are old players just enjoying a well made video

Should have included a warrior ring early on because they're dirt cheap and increase slash accuracy which all the best training weapons have a slash option! Only 35k at the time of posting

Just came back to the game, 98 combat level just standing AFK farming sandcrabs at the moment as I wasn't sure where to start... think I might hit up slayer and potentially some bossing! thanks for this video :D

Training combat skills through slayer is the best. Makes you money and even has some afk tasks.

Pre-reqs for Bone Voyage • Agility 10 • Herblore 10 • Thieving 25 • Do quest The Digsite • Do any 5 of these short quests - Demon Slayer - Rune Mysteries - Shield of Arrav - Hazeel Cult - Making History - Merlin's Crystal - Observatory Quest - Priest in Peril - What Lies Below • Go to Varrock Museum • Go downstairs and talk to Orlando Smith, then do all the plaques quizzes. (28/100 kudos) • Go to the cleaning station (1st floor), find and display these (78/100 kudos) - Pottery - Old Symbol - Ancient Symbol - Ancient Coin - Old Coin • Go upstairs (2nd floor) and talk to Historian Minas until you have nothing left to turn in. These are from the 5 quests from earlier (103/100 kudos) Then you can start Bone Voyage.

Been waiting for this for a long time. Thank you sir.

This was a great guide id recommend this to anyone getting into osrs or even a vet coming back into the game.

Great guide. Will definitely keep this in my back pocket

I am already max combats and yet here I am still watching this 😂

I've been trying to decide on a training method for melee so I can get raid ready. Your guides are always perfect! Keep up the great content.

Love your content, one thing to add though is that if this is going to be followed by new players, please suggest witches house before waterfall. "Easily completable" is not a lie, but getting smacked for a 10 by a fire giant on a fresh account isn't what I'd call hard nor easy, but certainly frustrating. Best route: Get 9 magic. Complete Witches house, Waterfall, Tree Gnome, Grand Tree, Fight Arena etc. Sand Crabs to base 70 stats. NMZ till 90's. Now you can actually do slayer or bossing somewhat efficiently. Slayer till 99's, or back to NMZ. Train strength before attack, before defence. Done. easy

Love the content, keep up the AMAZING work!

While its true you need the bone voyage quest to get to fossil island and start fighting ammonite crabs, there are other prerequisite quests to bone voyage. Including the dig site quest and gaining "kudos", (favor) from the varrock museum.

Mate you’re a psychic, I was just thinking of what to upgrade gear wise. Ty

The problem with bossing to train is that you usually already need to be 90+ to be effective

Sarachnis Cudgel requires 65 attack, and is cheaper than Mace, while being more effective than Dragon Scimitar. It's a good In-between for training if you want to go that route.

I loved how you said "Plethora" XD great vid thank you

enjoying everything about your videos! keep up the great work!

Nice one! Just what i needed for when group iron man is coming out. Going to check out the rest of the guides aswel since i forgot a lot of stuff already

Great vid, as always!

I always have done attack first on chickens or something to 5 then rest to 5 then att to 10 and rest up. I then switch to str first and balance them all out so I get upgrades about the same.

Thanks for the awesome guide, has helped alot :D

Lmao: "What you think Melee training is like vs What you'll be doing..." I fucking died!

Wouldnt a brimstone ring not be a better option for the nightmare zone bit? Its quite a bit cheaper than a berzeker and has ranged/magic uses. Ofc till you (i) a berzerker ring Great video as always

Crabclawcave is also a great place to find rockcrabs and not so many ppl. You can only go into the cave when you start the depths of despair quest(very easy)

A Complete 1-99 Melee Combat Guide for Oldschool Runescape in 2021 [OSRS]- Step 1 become a member to do all the useful quest to even get started. Like so newbies who haven't decided if they want to pay for the game yet. Since this guy didn't want to mention that. But still a good video

Been challenging myself with a challenge inspired by your content and trying to use what I've been able to learn so far from your guides and making a series about it. - Also I wonder if I'll be able to use any of these combat strategies for my grind to cerb kc.

The other 417 guides online weren't working at all but I think this is the one for me

Sand crabs for base 70s, nmz to all 99s. Saved you 22 minutes

I know this guide is old, but experiments in Morytaina is a good option if you don't mind clicking every now and again.

Training my Strength now. Thanks for the guide sir

Step 1. Do these quests provided. Step 2. Do slayer. Step 3. Do more slayer. Hey congrats you didn't waste XP

I wish Jagex would add some more spots for AFK training on crabs. Fossil island is ALWAYS full it's insane. And people just literally jump in and start killing your mobs. It's so annoying to train melee in this game.

Please do a 2021 construction guide next!

When you’re trying to get to 70 str and att just do the bone voyage quest to access ammonite crabs 😂 it’s worth it and you’ll be spending more time at the sand crabs then it does to complete the quest not to mention sand crabs suck and you basically have to move around a lot to kill more crabs, ammonites are slightly better xp depending on your stats/gear and are practically 100% afk

New and improved Theo. Theo doesn’t care about osrs and just milks people for views. The guy doesn’t even play lol. It’s nice that you are doing these and actually have passion in the game

If only it were this easy for free to play players. All those quests are members only except for the last one and it says I don’t have enough quest points. Guess I’ll just kill some goblins till lvl 40.

Awesome vid, very informative 👍

Good guide! I think I'm going to level up my strength with wildy slayer for a bit.

OMFG. I literally searched for this 30 minutes ago LMAO

Thank you Mister flippingoldschool man

My 99 cmb stat guide is literally nmz or crabs x) 3 max cmb chars and a zerker. All maxed before any slayer really, including 99 range/pray for 2 of m Normie, hc, uim, zerker. Gotta love that afk crab life

Sarachis Cudgel is a great weapon at 65 atk if you don't want to get a dscim. TBH I use it for strength training now and gargoyles.

Love your guides! my favourite osrs creator by far

Using Viggora's Chainmace is much faster melee experience than all of these methods, just a bit costly and risky but not extremely. It stacks with Salve Amulet (e), so you can kill Ankous in the Wilderness for up to like 130k xp/h. I was getting 90k xp/h on my 85-Strength account in 1-Defence gear, without even using the Salve Amulet. You can also use it for Wilderness Slayer -- it stacks with Slayer Helm (but Slayer Helm does not stack with Salve Amulet).

This was a nice guide but I'm a crazy person and I like to train manually so I've been training on Giant Frogs I'm at 30 on all 3 Melee skills

Pro tip for everyone download the remote chrome app and you can afk at work just check in every 20 minutes and easy 99s in a month or 2 on all 3

Video: ok first youll need to be lv 40 Me: whelp back to lv 5 goblins

I love the content, and even this video, but i'm gonna save everyone, and say, just do slayer.

Idk what I'm doing wrong with nmz, I've watched tons of videos, followed every step exactly, and I'm never getting more than like 50k xp/hr sometimes less.

Just started glad I watched this 🙌 lol

Left out the most important part.... You need to be a member to access the first quest.

I wish I got the slayer helm first. It's really annoying to forget one of the items, bigger and badder's proc rate is really low, and I can fairy ring to most places instead of using the slayer ring. Maybe go bigger and badder if you're taking donations from your guild but I'm honestly afraid of the thing procing, it'll get me killed at my gear level.

I'm less than 5 seconds in i wanna hear the rest but it pronounced (May-Lay) ty all the love sent to you js

why can't nobody come up with an effective optimized table for diminishing returns on accuracy vs average damage to maximize dps? you briefly mentioned "level attack and str in tandem until level 75" why? is the soft cap for accuracy at 75 attack ?

Waterfall Quest is recommended for combat lvl 25

ah yes to get this item which gives u 1% dps increase just make sure you go on a wild goose chase for 50 hours and have 5+ extremely hard quests completed, and also spend 50m per hour

Whatʼs your off-hand item you pair with the obby sword? It looks like it could be an Avernic defender but youʼre talking about relatively cheap gear here, not super expensive stuff, so Iʼm not sure.

I heard a couple guides say normal NMZ customisable rumble was pointless and should use Hard instead? What’s the cons to hard rumble?

holy grail isn't possible without doing multiple quests before

if you stand in a corner in NMZ only 2 npc can hit you so your absorpsion will live longer

Why do people use dragon defender over the dragon fire shield? It offers a higher str bonus and has better stats Is the defender just faster?? Truly idk

"So step 1, is putting on your Rune armor and heading to crabs at level 70 attack."

what would you reccommened for str training weapons through slayer

Make a 1-99 range and magic guide as well!

>1-99 guide >Step 1: be level 40

Plug-in that shows you what all to enchant/Alch in your inventory?

Sick vid

What are we supposed to do for combat from level 1 to 25? Waterfall quest requires level 25

What is in the shield position for obsid set?

hmm I calculated dps for attack training in nmz and it seems obby is better than the standard gear you showed, correct me if im wrong

SURELY rushing a black mask (i) on a fresh account is the meta in 2021?

So from 40-70 sand crabs and from 40-70 ammonite crabs?

Granite hammer at level 50 attack? Amulet of strength for amanite crabs?

1-99 combat guide 1. Finish tutorial island 2. Find Sand Crabs 3. ??? 4. Enjoy

i go to bandit camp with sara or zam clothes on and they stay aggressive for ever all you have to do in heal easiest by far just take noted food ect and there is a not exchange in the camp

Why do people forget about bandits in the desert? They never non aggro, one of the most og training methods ever

Those starter quests are members only

Amulet of strength is almost always better than glory especially when training on low defence targets such as crabs

Also was told in beginning of osrs each defense level would take away from a max hit level…..

I just keep it on normal with only absorption and super combat without any rock cake. I van be here for 24min before i need to click and only lost like 200 on the abs. Better then keeping the 1 Hp🤷🏽‍♂️

I only have one question how do I get the 150k for the full rune set?

you actually lvl 5 skills at once with slayer, str atk def slayer hp

how do i do waterfall quest it isnt there for me

Annonyed that i have to do dragonalayer to use Rune full armor

76 att 70 str and 70 def here (with barely 2m gp, laughable i kno) just wondering if the nightmare zone absorption method will work for the att training setup? (aby whip dragon defender, etc) aiming for 80 att before moving to 99 str
