Ultimate F2P RuneScape Melee Guide

Oct. 1, 2009 - PRLog -- This guide will guide and show the secret methods that the best never want to reveal to others. I've been an avid player of Runescape for 2 years now and have experience in both non-member and member worlds. In this guide, i will be focusing on the non-members.

The task of attaining 99 attack, strength and defence in non-members may seem a daunting task to most, but after reading this guide, I believe that you will find this task much more manageable.

Attack vs strength vs defence
Personally, I feel that the order of leveling up should be Strength>Attack>Defence. So after gaining 1 strength level, gain 1 attack followed by 1 defence.

Level 1-10
So fresh off tutorial island and not sure where to start?

First thing to do is to go to the chicken coop at Lumbridge. Chickens can only hit 0s and will never damage you. Keep killing them until you have about 100 feathers. Go to the Grand Exchange and purchase an Iron armour set along with an Iron scimitar. Also, bury every bone you get as prayer is very important in both non-members and members.

Keep killing chickens until 10 attack, 10 strength and 10 defence. By then, you should have a decent amount of feathers. Go to the grand exchange and purchase a set of full steel and a steel scimitar. A scimitar is the best weapon in f2p and should always be your weapon of choice. If you have enough money left over, buy a power amulet for yourself. The power amulet is the best amulet you can get in free-to-play.

Also, Black is almost always a waste of runescape money and you should never buy it unless for looks(Black g).

Level 10-20
From here onwards, you can start killing cows. If you get damaged, you can pick up the beef and cook it.

Collect the cowhide you get from the cows and bank it every time you get a full inventory. Cowhides sell for a lot on the grand exchange.

Due to your lower levels, I would suggest getting 15 strength, then 15 attack, 20 strength, 20 attack and finally 20 defence. This is to maximize your kill rate.

When you finally have 20 Attack strength and defence, you can sell your cowhides for a massive amount of money. Use this to purchase a full set of mithril and a mithril scimitar.

Level 20-30
At this point in time, you can visit the stronghold of security and kill the minotaurs on the first level. These minotaurs drop a lot of iron arrows so pick them up. You can either sell them or use them for your ranged training in the future.

If you run out of food, go to world 1 at the fly fishing spot. There are usually a lot of people training their fishing there and they will be more than willing to give you free trout and salmon.

Level 30 will not take a long time to get at this rate. You can now choose to complete both the stronghold of security and the stronghold of player safety, which will give you 20k in total.

You should now be able to afford Full adamant. Buy that and an Adamant scimitar.

Level 30-40
This is it, the big step to rune. At your level, you should go train at the hill giants in the varrock dungeon. You need a brass key to access it.

You can stock up food from the above mentioned spot before you train here. This is so that you do not have to repeatedly go back to get food.

Kill the hill giants there but in this case, do not bury the bones. Each of the bones they drop can sell for upwards of 300gp each!

The training here should make you a pile of money so when you have reached level 40 Attack, strength and defence, sell the big bones for runescape gold!

Dragon slayer
At level 40 Attack Strength and defence, you are prepared to do dragon slayer to wear the Rune platebody. You can refer to walkthrough to guide you.

Level 40-60
To afford full rune, I would suggest killing more hill giants and selling the big bones. When you have full rune, you can almost call yourself a master of f2p combat!

The next hurdle to cross will be to level 60. For this, I recommend you kill level 28 flesh crawlers at the stronghold of security. Their max hit is 1 so you do not have to bring too much food.

These 20 levels should not take long considering the huge amount of exp you will be getting from flesh crawlers.

Level 60-99(Option 1)
Congratulations! Now it's the big test. Can you last till 99?

The best would be level 50 spiders in the stronghold of security for you. These do not drop anything so you will have to bear that in mind when picking this option. They can give really fast exp and it is possible to gain 50k exp per hour at higher levels with strength potions.

Level 60-75, then 75-99(Option 2)
Your next option would be to kill level 50 spiders until level 75. Then you can move to Ankous on the 4th level of the stronghold of security. These drop Ores and Adamant arrows consistently so training here should solve almost all your monetary problems.

Level 60-70, then 75-99(Option 3)
Same as above, except this time you go to the lesser demons in Karamja. The added benefit is that there is a fishing dock nearby so you almost never have to leave! Also, lesser demons also drop rune medium helmets that alch for 11250 gp each!

Notable training spots
1.Moss giants
2.Deadly red spiders
3.Barbarians
4.Skeletons
5.Greater demons
6.Cockroach soldiers

Conclusion
