levels runescape

In Old School RuneScape (OSRS) and RuneScape 3 (RS3), "levels" refer to your character's progression in various skills, combat stats, and other activities. Heres a breakdown of how levels work in both games: Skill Levels Both games have 23 skills (some differ slightly between OSRS and RS3). Most skills go from 1 to 99, but some (like Dungeoneering, Invention, Slayer, etc.) can go higher in RS3 (up to 120). Virtual Levels (RS3 only): Skills can be trained beyond 99 (up to 120) for cosmetic achievements, even if they don't provide new content. Combat Levels OSRS Combat Formula: - Melee/Ranged/Mage Hybrid: Combat Level = floor(0.25 (Defence + Hitpoints + floor(Prayer/2)) + 0.325 (Attack + Strength + Ranged + Magic)) - Pure Builds: Some players intentionally keep certain stats low (e.g., 1 Defence) for PvP efficiency. RS3 Combat Formula: - Uses a weighted average of all combat stats (Attack, Strength, Defence, Ranged, Magic, Summoning, Prayer, Constitution). - Max combat level is 138 (or 152 with Necromancy in RS3). Total Level The sum of all skill levels (max is 2,277 in OSRS & 3,599 in RS3 with 120 cap skills). Milestones: - 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2200+ (OSRS) - 2600+ (RS3) Unlives high-tier content and prestige. Experience (XP) & Leveling XP Rates: Vary by skill (e.g., Agility is slow, Combat can be fast). EHP (Efficient Hours Played): A metric used by high-level players to track progress. XP Cap: 200M XP per skill (both games). Prestige & Maxing Max Cape (OSRS/RS3): Awarded for reaching level 99 in all skills. True Max (RS3): Requires 120 in all eligible skills. Completionist Cape (RS3): Requires additional achievements beyond maxing. Notable Level Milestones Early Game: 1-50 (basic training, quest unlocks). Mid Game: 50-80 (bossing, profitable skills). Late Game: 80-99/120 (end-game PvM, raids, max efficiency). Would you like details on a specific skill or leveling method?
