Everything you need to know about combat levels in Old School RuneScape
Understanding Combat Levels in OSRS
Your OSRS combat level calc is the single most important number for determining what content you can access in Old School RuneScape. It affects:
- PvP Matchmaking: Who you can attack in the Wilderness
- Boss Requirements: Some bosses have minimum combat level requirements
- World Restrictions: Certain worlds are limited to specific combat levels
- Slayer Tasks: Higher combat unlocks more profitable assignments
Quick Tip: You can check any player's combat level by right-clicking them and selecting "Level" or by looking at the combat icon next to their name.
How Combat Level is Calculated
The osrs combat formula uses your combat skills to determine your overall power. The calculation depends on whether you're primarily a melee, ranged, or magic fighter.
The Base Formula Components
All combat calculations include these elements:
Then one of these is added based on your highest combat style:
Melee (Attack + Strength):
Ranged:
Magic:
The game automatically uses whichever formula gives you the highest combat level.
Interesting Fact: Prayer contributes to your combat level because it provides combat advantages through prayers like Piety or Rigour.
Combat Level Breakpoints
Certain combat levels unlock important milestones:
| Combat Level | Unlocks | Significance |
|---|---|---|
| 3 | Can enter Wilderness | Minimum for PvP areas |
| 40 | Rune armor | First major gear upgrade |
| 70 | Barrows gloves | Best in slot for many builds |
| 85 | Most bosses | Can start high-level PvM |
| 100 | All Wilderness bosses | Full PvP/PvM access |
| 126 | Max combat | Highest possible level |

Advanced Combat Level Tactics
For players looking to min-max their accounts:
1. Combat Level Stalling
Some players avoid certain training methods to stay in lower combat brackets longer while gaining other advantages.
2. Hybrid Training
Balancing melee, ranged, and magic to create versatile PKing accounts that can switch combat styles.
3. Defence Pacing
Carefully timing when to train Defence to maximize gear unlocks without unnecessarily increasing combat level.
4. Prayer Optimization
Since Prayer contributes to combat level, some accounts stop at specific prayer levels (like 43 for protection prayers or 52 for Smite).
Pro Tip: Many PvP clans have specific combat level requirements. Check their rules before finalizing your build.
Common Combat Level Questions
Q: What's the highest combat level in OSRS?
A: 126 is the maximum for regular accounts. Some specialized builds may have lower maximums (e.g., 123.75 for 75 Attack accounts).
Q: Does Slayer affect combat level?
A: No, Slayer is a non-combat skill that doesn't factor into your combat level calculation.
Q: Why do some level 100s hit harder than others?
A: Combat level doesn't show stat distribution. A pure with 99 Strength at combat 75 will hit harder than a balanced account at the same level.
Q: How can I check my combat level in-game?
A: Your combat level is displayed next to your name in the stats interface (F2 by default).
