Combat styles (how to train what you want)

• Accurate — Attack (or Ranged with a ranged weapon)
• Aggressive — Strength
• Defensive — Defence
• Controlled — splits Attack / Strength / Defence
• Rapid (ranged) — faster attacks, trains Ranged
• Longrange — Ranged + Defence

Prayer & protection

• Use Protect from Magic / Missiles / Melee while learning dangerous NPCs.
• High-level prayers (Piety / Chivalry / Rigour / Augury path and custom prayers such as Destruction, Hunters Eye, Fortitude, Gnomes Greed) become available as you level.
• Curses (Turmoil, Soul Split, etc.) are available on the curse book when unlocked.
• VIP reduces prayer/curse drain — higher VIP = longer prayer uptime.

Early training plan (practical)

1. Fight Blurite Goblins and early track monsters with food from the General Shop.
2. Use ::track so kills count toward starter rewards (boxes / starter tokens).
3. Bury bones from kills (or buy bones with starter tokens) to raise Prayer.
4. When combat feels stable, start Slayer with ::slayer.
5. When you need low-attention progress, use ::afk (Mining / stalls / idle tickets).
6. Open ::drops before committing to a long grind so you know what you are aiming for.
