Non-Member Combat Guide

Introduction: Starting off combat without prior knowledge of the game can be a scary thought. So I'll try to make it a little less scary for you. First before we start, what are the reason you want to gain combat levels? Most want to so they can fight bosses, such as: god war dungeon, corporal beast, or king black dragon. While others may just want to Player kill (PK). I like to train combat for the skills plus the drops.

Non-Members:

    Getting starting can be rough, you need armour and a sword.  It's a good idea to keep melee levels about the same, unless you want a pure, which I'm not going to go into.  A good monster to start off with since you don't have any weapons is chickens or cows.  First train strength to 5, then attack to 10, then with the feathers or cowhides you will be collecting you will have enough money for a sword and armour.  Go back to killing these until you get about 20 defence, 30-40 attack, 30-40 strength. 

    Head on to edgeville dungeon (south of edgeville bank)  Climb down the stairs and go all the way to hobgoblins, then you'll see some zombies, go get the key in there.  KEEP THE KEY, the key is how you can get down there faster.  If you have enough food, go kill hill giants, while collecting bones to buy better armour.  After a load, go up the ladder, then go to the GE, its not too far away, so you can make very fast bank trips. Do this until you have 40 attack, 40 defence, 50 strength. 

     Now that you have at least 40 attack, 40 defence, and 50 strength, you will be ready to fight lesser demons (after dragon slayer quest).  These are the best non-member monsters to kill for experience, because you can stay on the island forever as long as you have level 40 fishing and level 40 cooking (visit Fishing and Cooking guides for guidance).  At least time, you should have Rune armour(full helm), a Rune weapon (preferably scimitar or longsword). level 40 attack, defence, and level 50 strength, you do not have to have it but 40 fishing and cooking is recommended. Keep killing lessars until you gain 99's.

There isn't really much different for melee in F2P.  You could add some mage and range in to fight alongside the melee for added damages.
