Runescape is a huge online game created by a company called Jagex. They are based in the United Kingdom. The game is set in medievil times but there are some technological exceptions within the game such as diving gear and cannons. Players are only allowed to be human. I mention this because some games such as these offer different species or classes. Within the game there is no definite class such as 'Wizard' 'Warrior' or 'Ranger'. These are all self given titles. Because you can use all the skills you don't have to be anything really. You can also use a large amount of non-combat skills as well.

Skills

The skills in the game are

There are quite a lot. I will go into finer details of each one. I will also explain the good and bad things about each, and why you should or should not go into it, depending on your preference. Some skills go hand in hand like farming and herblore. You can grow herbs to help your herblore.

Attack

This skill is obviously made for combat. It has two major uses. The first is, the higher the skill, the better equipment can be used. For example.

The second use, is with higher attack your attacks will be more accurate, meaning you will hit more often then miss. It will also contribute to your combat level. (Overall level designated by a combination of Attack, strength, defence, and hitpoints.)

Strength

Strength contributes to the amount of damage you deal while fighting. For some weapons including the Granite Maul and Dharok's Great-Axe. The maul requires 50 strength (actually anything granite take 50 strength) and the Great-Axe requires 70 strength. Strength also contributes to your Combat Level.
