RuneScape Damage Guide

Okay, so, everyone knows Attack governs if you’ll hit your enemy instead of doing 0 Damage, Strength governs how much damage you will do when/if you hit, and Defense governs how much damage your opponent will do to you, and if they hit at all.

I get quite a few questions like “How much strength do I need to do 8 Damage?” well, you see, this is all depending on what gear and weapons you have. Which, of course requires Attack to equip these weapons.

So, for now, I’m going to use a Rune Scimitar as an example, the most common F2P weapon.

From my experience, and these numbers may not be perfectly accurate, but;

Rune Scimitar with 40 Strength can do up to 9 Damage.

Rune Scimitar with 50 Strength can do up to 9-11 Damage.

Rune Scimitar with 60 Strength can do up to 11-13 Damage.

Rune Scimitar with 70 Strength can do up to 13-15 Damage.

Rune Scimitar with 80 Strength can do up to 15-18 Damage.

Rune Scimitar with 90+ Strength, I don’t know; going by the pattern, I’d assume 90 Strength is 18-21 Damage, 99 Strength would be 21-24.

So, there’s your short little guide for damages; most people wonder about this. Prayer and Strength Potions potentially raise these damages by 1-3 Damage.
