How to Raise Your Combat Level With Melee
Here we are at issue 3. This article has taken a great deal of time to try to find all of the quickest ways to get your combat up with all the testing. However, I will give you an easy way to get your combat level up on free to play only!
3-15: Head here.

Once you arrive start attacking chickens. You can pick up the meat if you want cooking experience. They will also come in handy later so you should hold onto them. The feathers can also make you a bit of money too. Stay even with training your skills. You should get your strength, attack, and defense to level 10. In an hour should receive roughly 5000 experience as a level 3 combat. However it will become more as you level up. Once you finish training here you should be able to move on.
15-30: Start towards the Grand Exchange to sell the feathers that you just picked up. Once you sell them you should have enough for a full steel. If not go to the Varrock west gate and pick up the money from the dead guards until you have enough. Here would be a good place for those chickens you just cooked. Once you buy a full steel head back to the Varrock west gate right by the large bank. Find the little room in the wall and walk up the stairs. There should be two guards here. Start attacking them. In an hour, you should have gained approximately 7500 experience. This is a very rough estimate as when I tested with my level 55 character with full rune I received 10000 experience. Again, try to even out your skills. If you can get them all to about level 20 you should be able to move on.
30-50: Head here.

If you can afford a full mithril it would really help to have one. If you can not however it will not change this step too dramatically. Go down the ladder and walk until you arrive at the level 28 hobgoblins. Start killing these. They will drop some pretty valuable items like limpwurt roots. These can sell for about 650 gold each. This will be far longer than any of the other steps. You should get about 9000 experience an hour. Again, this is a estimate as when tested by me with a level 55 character in full rune I received 10500 experience. Just like all the other steps you need to balance out your skills. If you have the patience to get them all to level 40 it would be to your benefit. This will allow you to wear rune armour which is the best free to play armor. Once you finish this step almost nobody will call you a noob anymore except really good players. Hey, soon even you can be in that level.
50-65: Congratulations, you can now wear rune armour! It is pretty expensive compared to all the other armour but it is well worth it. However you can not use a rune platebody until you do the quest Dragon Slayer.
Right now if you have enough quest points you need to do the quest dragon slayer. This will really help your combat level. As this is not a quest guide I will let you try to figure it out yourself. Or you could search a quest guide. Although I would suggest bringing a strength potion and a lot of swordfish if you are a free player. Once you beat Elvarg the dragon you can now officially wear full rune armour.
Now that you have full rune you should head here.

Start attacking white knights to train your combat. You should receive roughly 11000 experience an hour. You should receive pretty equal to this as my combat level in which tested is 55. You can even out your combat skills again or now you can train a specific skill like strength. This step is quite a boring one as it does take a little patience but the reward is well worth it.
65-126: You will want to go to the deep part of the wilderness now to kill demons. It would be wise to bring a bit of food. Head here.

Demons are one of the strongest free monster. Sometimes they drop rune medium helmets which sell for pretty good gold pieces. This should give you about 13000-25000 experience an hour. This experience estimate will vary greatly as there is a huge diversity of levels now. This step will take a VERY long time to complete. If you ever do you will be in a league of elite players.
Well, that is all. My last word of advice is patience. This will not be an easy accomplishment.

wow, who has time for this? Oh, instead of guards, I’m lvl 29 and from about lvl 25, the strnghold of security has some decent minotaurs up for the kill, the stronghold has gaps, but really can support a range.

well, i like other stuff, but if this is the free worlds guide then it is a good guide. if not, i am combat 86 and i like kalphites, obsidian monsters and greater demons. the good thing about lesser demons is they are quick, kaphites are about 30 - 40k exp per hour, and about 50k in drops, and obsidian monsters are lvl 70s - 149 and drop 150k - 300k drops. the obbsidian monsters arent good exp, however. also, i recomend doing the one small favour quest, as it gives 20k exp in any skill, even summoning. another good quest is monkey madness, for it gives altogether like 100k melee exp. if you use whip, i find shared hits the highest, and most often, and is good exp. i think this is quite an old report though, because now there are better ways for exp. also, not many people like to raise their combat level using only melee. i myself am 55 range and 57 magic, 23 summoning and 43 prayer. plus, what are YOUR tips for good drops AND exp? all the good exp is bad money, all good money is bad exp. what do you say? i need about 200k an hour, though, which some consider is alot. well, also, what P12808 said, i agree, but i like to do ankous for the rune arrows, death and blood runes…
PEACE OUT!!!

Wow. This is a terrible guide even if it’s in F2p. Why would you go to the Wilderness to fight Lesser Demons when you can go to Karamja Volcano? You didn’t even mention Moss Giants in this and they’re great xp for F2p players. This is a terrible “guide”.

And it says lvl 20 can kill a 28 hobogoblin! A really good way is fist of guthix.

The best monster to kill is experiment, but it is member only. It gives 400 xp per kill ca. 48k xp in a hour

zht1997 Says:April 27th, 2009 at 8:55 am

This is an OK post i would say i could do better but the pictures are a little bit low quality nice post
i krazy Says:August 11th, 2009 at 1:02 am
this guide didnt impress me, even if its f2p. For f2p accounts try minotaurs, moss giants, and cows for the lowest lvls.
wtf Says:If you are a member the best exp for lvls 20-60 is prolly rock crabs in relekka.
