Attack

Attack (sometimes shortened to Att, Atk or Attk) is a melee combat skill that determines the accuracy of a player's melee attacks. The higher the Attack level, the fewer misses a player will incur. A player's Attack level also determines the weapons he or she can wield. It's one of the easiest combat skills to reach 99.

Fighting Accuracy
Attack is a vital skill for any player. This skill primarily trained using the "Accurate" attack style, accessed from the Combat Styles interface. The "Accurate" style not only earns experience to your Attack level, but also helps you hit your target more often than the "Aggressive", "Controlled" and "Defensive" modes of combat.

Experience
A formula is used to calculate how much experience a player obtains when fighting accurately. If a player hits an opponent, the damage dealt is multiplied by 400 and that amount is given to the Attack skill. For example, if a player hits 10, then he'll receive 4000 Attack experience. In other words, you receive Attack experience equal to 4000% of the damage.

Some experience is also given to the player's Hitpoints level when he or she deals damage. This experience is given in addition to the Attack experience.

If a player fights with the "Controlled" attack style, then the damage dealt is multiplied by 133.33 and given to the player's Attack and Hitpoints level.

Many players use the Abyssal Whip to train Attack, because of its quick speed, high slash and strength bonuses.
