The basic abilities on your actionbar have a slightly different priority now kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jMqXprJ7xJbUd6s.html check the video to be up to date.

Protoxx: combat for beginners Me a max player: yeah that sounds like me.

Old school RS was probably my favorite game growing up. Since then, I've played 100s of different games but none have quite been like RS. I am gonna give RS3 a chance now, thanks for the tutorial!

Incredible video, well done! I'm a maxed player and for some reason still really enjoyed watching the entire video - if I could suggest two things worth mentioning, however: 1) Eating most food drains adrenaline (while you have an active target)! This increases the challenge level of trying to kill monsters efficiently, as you can't just chug food for the entire fight, without sacrificing tons of damage or defensive potential. 2) It may have been really nice to mention the 'protect item' prayer when talking about death, as it saves a massive amount of money potentially, and something that should be included in pretty much every combat prayer preset. Apart from that, keep up the amazing content! Have a good one :)

Ha. Very, very good guide for new players! Also quite helpful for returning players and some stuff experienced players didn't know. 10/10.

Honestly, this is for everyone. Such a wonderful combat intro/guide. THANK YOU.

Wow! This is amazing timing! I have a friend who I used to play RS with back before RS3. He was thinking about coming back, but is intimidated by the combat system. I'll tell him to watch this guide. This is a very informative and well organized combat guide. Thanks for everything you do for the RS community.

Maxed for years and some elements of this I still only learned very recently, like binding action bars to a combat style. That is HUGE for enemies that require hybridding like the dagannoth kings.

My man... the last time i logged in, it was back in 2012. I felt sooooo lost when i created my new character because i lost my old one. The new combat feels a bit more fun but i didn't know what and how to deal with them. Thanks for the vid it was really nice. Keep it up!

Grab your cup of tea sit back and enjoy Me: where the f is my tea I can’t sit Back and enjoy

Amazing video! Thank you so much! I'm playing RS3 for the first time after playing OSRS mutiple times for years & I'm actually loving it so far! 💯

Man, this is awesome. I'm level 108 and coming back to Rs after like 8 years and your guide is really helpful to remind basics and learn EoC/ability basics. There would be also nice to have knowledge about current reasonable weapons and armors - my account was hijacked in meantime and I have all wealthy items including armor, I don't even remember well what I had that times

This is going to benefit new steam players so much. Great stuff here.

I am really old player i have been playing for almost 12 years and ur video still was very useful for me there is stuff I wasn't aware of it Thanks man +1 like

You should have mention that You can change in which skill you can get xp in options. I can see new players skilling just attack or strenght, and not know how to switch Edit: Oh sorry I missed it. Great guide

I’m nearly 2000 total level and still didn’t even know about the pvm hub lmao thanks I’ll be going there now

Great video man as a returning player I knew a lot of this but did find some things I didn't know about! Liked and subscribed man thanks again!

Thank you for this

As a returning player from 10 years ago, this really helped!

Was looking for a game, found runescape. And it releases tomorrow on my day off on steam :D

I genuinely had no idea how to use the group system until I went for the Reaper achievement years after maxing when they finally split it off from the completionist cape into its own thing.

im not new player but im a returned player , been away for like 4y , thx for the vid

basic guide is like learning to fly an airplane, considering your action bar setup looks like an air traffic control center. great video :)

I returned to this game after making my rs3 account like a few years ago. I honestly had no fucking clue what was happening when I was attacking, and I could not for the life of me figure out how to train in defense. So many convoluted menus! This tutorial helped quite a bit. I REALLY want to get into rs3, but every time I try I feel like I just get bombarded with updates, menus, and new gameplay features that I just feel lost, And eventually end up just firing up my good ol osrs account.

I only been playing for a few weeks. I love this game but combat is sometimes wonky

Another great guide Protoman :) This will be very useful for the steam newcomers.

"There are no tanks in runescape" true and definitely a big problem

Another thing to note: slightly more complex but using a shield or defender can be worthwhile to camp for 20s during a revenge rotation.

Omg I'm almost maxed and never knew there was an ability to eat food lol. Thanks!!

Returning player with ~18 year old account here. I am absolutely overwhelmed, I may have to make a new account just to sort it all out... Jumping in with 80+ in every combat stat gives me so many options that I'm just confused.

Keep up the content. If i need any guide you was always my goto guy. Much love bro.

14:45 I'd argue even at low levels this is big because unlocking that teleport can be done even just at mole, KQ or KBD with a few friends. *You want that Hub Teleport.*

Great guide! I'd have added the PVMe discord at the end there (sooner than nexaod for example). I'm thinking of hiding amongst the throngs of new players by starting a new account xD. Experience all that low-med level content of the past 10 years.

My favorite combat is the one where you hit the trees with an axe! :)

6:20 “action burrr”

Holy heck i never knew you could setup ability bars to auto switch depending on weapon type 😂 cheers dude

Not gonna lie, Im maxed combat and I still watch guides on a daily base. Been playing for so long and I still dont understand anything about RS3

13:31 One thing I'll say is a big deal is to take a preset that they provide and then tailor that to your liking. Personally I tried to make mine as osrs as possible, but then dragged out the tabs I typically needed up at once for PVM. cluttered, but powerful. then made another one with all that minimized for skilling.

i would like to state that increasing your strength also increases your range damage by a small amount

The fact that you explain everything perfectly in detail shows how much our "creators" have to learn. Well done, hanannie should watch this when she switches to EOC lol 👍

Great guide! Started playing recently and it feels completely overwhelming. Doing the quest with youtube open LOL! Feels clumsy walking around and stuff but I want to give it a bit more of time because it seems a lot of fun

Thanks! Great guide!

I consider myself more of a skiller than combat. My main is pretty much 90+ all except for Archaeology which is at 75. My melee is around 93 average, 98 range and 93 magic. So a guide is best needed for me so I can improve.

thnaks always a pro at wht you do

Maybe now would be a great time to bring back that combat academy haha. I used that academy to basically start off any acc with 35pray in like 20mins.

Everything you need to know about RS3 combat: it's clunky and unresponsive at the best of times; be prepared to fight the game at all times to get it to do what you want it to. That is all. ;) Good video man. :)

Great guide! Wow

You got the Constitution xp wrong i think. You said if you get 1,000 combat xp total, 333 of that would be HP (meaning 666 would be the other combat style, therefor earning Constitution xp at 1/2 the rate of other combat stats), whereas it should be, if you get 1000 str xp for example, you will get 333 HP on top of that as Constitution xp is earned at 1/3 the rate of other combat skills. Great video as always though!

nicely done, very helpful

Subbed. Thx for the guides. Coming froms osrs

What about for long slayer tasks though, wouldn't you want to use the shield to make yourself last longer without having to use food? Also that's just always been my style since I started playing rs, using a sheild

Rs + Steam = best idea

thankk u so much bro that vidoe was super awsome and helpfull and its 22:34 min but bilive me i did not even feel the time 😅😅 that meen ur the best 😎😎

a 120 max cape would be cool for rs3... and a 200m max cape.

if you die with augmented gear and you dont reclaim it from death you lose divine charges

So, very noob question. About runes, while fighting with magic, I'm not sure I understand When using an ability (so all the time because we should never simply auto-attack, right? and we never AA with Revolution anyway) it consumes no rune. So runes are just a prerequisite but not a consumable when it comes to combat, right? So the no runes cost part of the Metamorphosis ability (buff) is useless, right? Also you say that low level magic weapon with high levels spells would be a waste of runes (because better level spells won't increase the damage). But once again, what waste, as using abilities (hence fighting) consumes no runes? Or am I mistaken that I should use abilities all the time? But seems very strange to me as they do more damage + generate more adrenaline + are quicker + cost no runes. I'm so confused with this situation

I didn’t even know there was a new combat system.

My combat level is 131 and I never knew about tick eating.

I like watching these :D

Thank god for keeping osrs.. this is way to difficult for me.

Nice

hey man, just recently got back into the game and want to get into bossing / PVM there seems so much to learn, this video helped and my current goal is to get the combat level to do the Giant Mole in Falador. I want to learn / get better at the combat. Main focuses / questions are setting up the action bar, i don't understand how some of the skills work / their interactions? Is there a list somewhere of like all the different bosses and minimum requirments to fight them? like genuinly where do i start? like just generally where do i start with the bossing?

Feels a bit underwhelming. But i believe with time i will get it. Just got level 40 in melee, ranged and magic.

thx alot!

I’m so confused fresh player. I want to be a tank do I just buy a shield and sword and get skills for it? I downloaded last night but I didn’t have any skills on my action bar. How does it work in this game?

You said it makes sense that it's difficult for an arrow to pierce a pl8body and that's how ranged beats melee. But why does ranged beat magic and why does magic beat melee? There's no reason for that imo. Any logic behind those two?

What ability/invention perk is the one where the lightning shoots down?

what do you recommend for a new player? melee or range or spell

There are a couple things that are pretty fundamental and unintuitive that this video misses. First, that the global ability cooldown is 1.8 seconds (3 ticks), which is essential to evaluating how good any ability is. Second, that armor from one combat style gives invisible penalties to accuracy of other combat styles. It's more a symptom of being so experienced that you forget about these basic things that aren't explained anywhere. EDIT: Also, that (almost) all weapons of any level tier are designed to do the same dps, so you can basically ignore the weapon speed and damage stats.

my man

how long has it been called run escape? lemme rephrase that - how often is it referred to as RunEscape..?

All you need to know is range and melee OP the end

🤔 let’s say you have 99s combat does the xp you get after 99 makes you stronger?

Can someone tell me what one would use for dual wielding range weapons? I can’t for the life of me figure out what kind of ranged weapons are dual wielded

is there any dps/skills difference between scimmys, dual dagger, claws, hammers, etc?

penance aura cannot be bought in War's Retreat. i think you meant dark magic aura

Funny how you almost made me want to play rs3

I'm level 50 attack, defence etc. everything in the mid level almost kills me instantly I already died to the hellhounds and almost lost my items due to me not knowing what to do. Is there any better way to reach level 60 - 70 without just doing moss giants? And I have one more question: What do I buy with 86m? (I moved my comment because nobody answered)

How to activate the loot claiming priorities, is this a members thing?

Hey I want to get into PvP but back when I didn't know anything idk why but I ended up training range and mage to lvl 45 is that going to affect my combat really badly if so me being at lvl 90 combat would it be to late for me to fix it?

What is the point of putting Runescape on steam when you can just download it from the website?

How do you get your HUD like that, I have been trying to make my HUD like that, but I just don't have the room.

can you do one how to do bosses like ED2 with no beast of burden? everyone says use it but i cant help but camp BOB and use a buffet.. i barley started using nihil at nex solo and i need help bruh i cant get over not having a buffet and not using tendrils as every cooldown respawn but everyone says use ripper demon this and that -_- i can get consistent kills but i cant imagine not having a buffet if u mess up

but i feel that u curses ppl wont feel the power of the shield as much cuz u got ur healing for free

Combat on rs3 feels so confusing and messy. I somehow passed the tutorial wothout understanding a single thing

What size monitor do you use

Hey anyone got a better leveling for 50+ I’m sick of low level exp drops.

You should modify your combat bars to show the AOE abilities for each combat style are on the same buttons. This will help new characters get familiar with attack types faster

You said touch deaths insignia instead of wars

DON'T COME @ ME - I'm an OSRS player, just don't have the time anymore, is there any room for me in Gielinor 3?

“Or whatever your plan was” lmao

Runescape has combat?

Discordo muito sobre o escudo e nao vivo sem um

After those stats go up, just click and watch your fate unfold. 😂

Ok havn't played runescape for more than a year.I'm unable to use skills instead of using skill i'm typing on chat xD Any help? :)

is that the official rs3 client?

can some one make a vid on what to avoid if you are a new player lol like simple scams etc etc

I like this long videos Why are u Killing chickens with t92s..

14:05 oh no he said it lol shields+defenders=op but I guess new ppl wont really need them

9:15 I really can't see the difference lo, I'm doomed.
