What Does Strength Do? Strength is a very valuable skill used in Melee combat. The higher your Strength, the higher you will hit during combat. It's for this reason that most PKers have a very high Strength compared to their other stats. There are also some pieces of equipment that require you to have a certain amount of Strength to wield. Training Strength By clicking on the Attack Styles icon (the one with the crossing swords), you'll be able to choose between the different kinds of attacks you can use with your currently equipped weapon. To train your Strength, you'll want to choose the "Aggressive" style from the menu. Each time you inflict one damage point on your opponent, you'll earn 4 Strength experience. You can also use the "Controlled" method of some weapons to train all of your melee skills (attack, defense and strength) and earn 1.3 experience to each. In the picture below, the box is accessible by clicking the Equipment icon (right of the inventory icon), which allows you to equip and unequip items. The “Show Equipment Stats” will pop-up the box you see is in the picture. It will contain what you’re wearing, an enlarged picture of yourself, and your stats. Strength bonus is located under “Other bonuses”. The higher that number is, the more damage you will deal in combat. Boosting Your Strength There are a number of ways to temporarily boost your Strength. All of these methods will be described later on in this guide.
