Strength

Introduction

Players train the Strength skill to be able to deal higher damage in a fight. Some weapons also require a certain Strength level.
Strength can be trained in any form of melee combat with almost any weapon against Monsters or other players in the Wilderness. A player must use the second combat style (generally Slash) to gain Strength experience. In Emps-world you gain 80 Strength experience per hit.

A player can boost the Strength skill by using Strength potions, Super strength potions or Zamorak brews made with the Herblore skill. With potions players can reach a maximum Strength level of 122.
