Always use the best tier of weapons you can wield and afford.

Avoid monsters who have a weakness to ranged attacks, as they will have a very high defence to melee attacks. Using a crush weapon against a monster weak to crush gives a much higher chance to hit against that monster, and significantly higher hits.

Jot down monster weaknesses and utilize them.

For melee training, you can choose between Attack, Defence, and Strength (XP will automatically go to Constitution).

You can select what specific skill earned XP will go into through the Combat Settings tab in the Powers menu (F4 to open).

This ability should only be used when not in direct combat with a monster as the summoned butterfly can be attacked and killed, ending the effect prematurely.

Another great healing ability is Guthix's Blessing, which will heal you 8% of your maximum life points every two seconds, up to ten seconds.

Although the Resonance and Rejuvenate abilities require a shield to be equipped, you only need to equip the shield for as long as it takes to activate the ability if you prefer to dual wield or use two-handed weapons.

Regenerate is a basic Constitution ability that uses whatever adrenaline you have left to restore your health if you're not in combat. Rejuvenate is an ultimate Defence ability that restores 40% of your life points over several seconds. The Resonance ability is a basic level Defence ability, that causes the next hit to heal instead of damage you.

Healing abilities are a must have for extending the length of a training trip.

Completing some of the easier quests such as Fight Arena, Holy Grail, Waterfall Quest, Scorpion Catcher, and Tree Gnome Village gives efficient combat experience if done at a low combat level.

However, these can be bought and used without the quest requirement from the Grand exchange. For those who have completed Plague's End and unlocked the recipe, a Super melee potion will be preferable to a super set. A super set (consisting of super attack, super strength, and super defence potions) is recommended.

(+12.5% att/str bonus while wearing a black mask or slayer helm when on a task). However, remember that Slayer tasks may give you monsters with weaknesses to ranged or magic, rather than melee. Complete Slayer tasks whenever possible in order to train Slayer while training other combat skills.(For example, moss giants are weak to slash attacks so it is a good idea to attack them with weapons such as the abyssal whip or the dragon 2h sword rather than weapons using crush or stab). Use the best equipment you have and a weapon that has a style the monster you are fighting is weak to.4 Alternative methods of gaining experience.1.2 Common equipment, accessories, and setups.
