OSRS Attack training guide

Attack improves melee accuracy and unlocks stronger weapons. Train it to the next useful weapon requirement, then let Strength lead on low-defence targets.

Quick tip: Do not train Attack far beyond your next weapon unlock unless the enemies you fight have meaningful defence.
