OSRS combat level breakpoints
Combat level has two parts. Defence, Hitpoints and half of Prayer build the base; the larger of melee, ranged or magic then becomes the dominant style. Training a non-dominant attack style may add no combat levels until it overtakes the current winner, which is why a raw level total is not enough for pure or low-combat planning.
- Melee accounts: plan the exact XP behind the next Attack or Strength breakpoint with the OSRS Attack Calculator.
- Ranged accounts: use the OSRS Ranged Calculator after this page shows Ranged is the cheapest path to the next combat level.
- Prayer decisions: Prayer contributes through
floor(Prayer / 2), so test the breakpoint here before pricing bones in the OSRS Prayer Calculator.
The table above reports levels, not XP or GP. Open the linked skill calculator only after you choose the stat, then compare methods against your actual budget and weekly play time.
Combat level FAQ
How is combat level calculated in OSRS?
Base = 0.25 x (Defence + Hitpoints + floor(Prayer/2)). Then the highest of melee 0.325 x (Attack + Strength), ranged 0.325 x floor(Ranged x 1.5), or magic 0.325 x floor(Magic x 1.5) is added, and the total is rounded down.
What is the highest combat level in OSRS?
126 on a main account (99 in every combat stat). Fresh accounts start at combat level 3.
Does Prayer really affect combat level?
Yes - every 2 Prayer levels add 0.25 x 1 to your base, so 8 Prayer levels raise your combat by 1. That is why pures plan Prayer in even numbers.
