As it will ensure you can maintain high rates of experience. This article will provide you some of the best weapons to train attack with.
What are the Best Weapons to Train Attack with in OSRS?
- Scythe of Vitur
- Ghrazi Rapier
- Abyssal Tentacle Whip
- Abyssal Whip
- Saradomin Sword
- Dragon Scimitar
1. Scythe of Vitur
The Scythe of Vitur requires a minimum of level 80 attack and 90 strength to use. So, the requirements are steep for this weapon, but it is the most powerful melee weapon in the game. It excels against big monsters that are 2 tiles or bigger. Meaning it is mostly used during bossing and other high-level PVM interactions.
The scythe can therefore be a good way to train attack when already doing bossing activities. Although, if training attack through generic slayer task styled combat, then you may want to look at some other options.
2. Ghrazi Rapier
The Ghrazi Rapier is a one-handed stab weapon in OSRS. It requires a minimum of level 80 attack to wield and can be obtained from the Theatre of Blood. It offers the highest strength and stab bonus of any weapon for its attack speed. Making it a great option for training attack with.
The Rapier is likely the best weapon when it comes to training attack through general combat. It excels during slayer tasks or AFK combat such as Ammonite Crabs or other aggressive monsters. The Blade of Saeldor and Inquisitor’s Mace are just as comparable in terms of how good they are for training attack.
3. Abyssal Tentacle Whip
The Tentacle Whip is weaker than the Rapier. However, it also has lower requirements, at only level 75 attack. It is an upgraded version of the Abyssal Whip, created by adding a kraken tentacle to the abyssal whip. Once combined the whip will be degradable and has 10,000 hits before.
The whip is a on-handed slash weapon and one of the best for training the attack skill in OSRS. It also has the ability to inflict poison on its target. Although, the degradable factor means it can often be too expensive to use for mid-tier players.
4. Abyssal Whip
The Abyssal Whip is the weaker variant of the Tentacle whip. It requires just level 70 attack to equip and use in combat. Players can obtain an Abyssal Whip from killing Abyssal Demons or turning in unsired’s from the Abyssal Sire.
It benefits from being non-degradable unlike the tent whip. Therefore, its is much more common to see this weapon being used for attack training methods.
5. Saradomin Sword
The Saradomin Sword can be obtained by killing Commander Zilyana. It is one of the few 2-handed weapons that have an attack speed of 4, making it a strong contender for training the attack skill. It provides dual functionality too, as it is also a good strength training weapon.
The weapon can also be upgraded by attaching the Saradomin’s Tear to the sword to create the Saradomin’s Blessed sword. This increases the slash by +18, with a +6 higher strength bonus.
6. Dragon Scimitar
The Dragon Scimitar is arguably one of the most iconic items in OSRS. It can be used in combat when players have completed the Monkey Madness I quest and a minimum of level 60 attack.
Furthermore, it can be purchased from Daga on Ape Atoll for 100,000 coins or obtained as a drop from various monsters. It is the best weapon to train with at level 60 attack, until more powerful weapons are later unlocked.
Low Level Attack Weapons
Before level 60 attack, the best weapons to use for attack training will be the best scimitar you have access to. For example, at level 40 attack, use a rune scimitar, level 30 attack use an adamant scimitar and so on. Level 50-60 is the only exception to this rule when the granite hammer is the best weapon.
