How combat level is calculated
Base = (Defence + Hitpoints + ⌊Prayer × 0.5⌋) × 0.25
Melee = (Attack + Strength) × 0.325
Magic = ⌊Magic × 1.5⌋ × 0.325
Ranged = ⌊Ranged × 1.5⌋ × 0.325
Combat Level = Base + Max(Melee, Magic, Ranged)
• Max level is 126 with all combat stats at 99
• Only your highest combat style counts toward your level
• Each 2 Prayer levels adds ~0.25 to your combat level
Frequently Asked Questions
01How is combat level calculated in OSRS?
Combat level in OSRS is calculated using a formula that considers your Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Prayer, Ranged, and Magic levels. The base level uses Defence and Hitpoints. Then it adds the highest value between Melee (Attack + Strength), Ranged, or Magic multiplied by specific modifiers. Prayer also contributes to the final combat level.
02What is the maximum combat level in OSRS?
The maximum combat level in Old School RuneScape is 126. This is achieved by having 99 in all combat skills: Attack, Strength, Defence, Hitpoints, Prayer, Ranged, and Magic. Players with 99 in all these skills are referred to as maxed combat accounts.
03Can I choose my combat level?
Yes, you can control your combat level by choosing which combat skills to train. This is important for account builds like pures (low Defence), zerkers (45 Defence), or range/mage tanks. Use our calculator to plan which skills to train to reach or maintain your desired combat level.
04What skills affect combat level the most?
Defence and Hitpoints form the base of your combat level. After that, your highest combat style (Melee, Ranged, or Magic) has the biggest impact. For melee, both Attack and Strength count together. Prayer also increases combat level but at a lower rate (half a level per 2 prayer levels).
05What is a pure account build?
A pure is an account build that keeps Defence at 1 while training other combat skills like Strength, Ranged, and Magic. This creates a low combat level account with high offensive capabilities, useful for PvP combat in specific combat brackets. Common pure variations include 1 Defence pures, 13 Defence pures, and 20 Defence pures.
06Should I train Prayer on my account?
Prayer training depends on your goals. For PvM, Prayer is essential for protection prayers and offensive bonuses. For PvP pure accounts, many players stop at 1, 13, 31, 52, or 77 Prayer to access specific prayers while minimizing combat level increase. Each Prayer level adds 0.25 to your combat level.
07How do I use the combat calculator?
Enter your current skill levels or import them using your RSN from the hiscores. The calculator shows your current combat level and tells you how many levels you need in each skill to reach the next combat level. This helps you plan your training efficiently and understand how each skill affects your combat level.
