OSRS Best Strength Training Weapons & Progression

A player's strength level represents their power or how hard they can hit in melee combat. It is mostly favored over attack level, as it increases max hit, which deals more damage to opponents.

Most weapons and combat equipment give players a strength bonus when worn. A +1 increase in strength bonus is not equivalent to a +1 increase in strength level. It only shows the ability of the weapon or the armour to increase the player’s maximum damage. Generally, two-handed swords have a significantly higher Strength bonus than weapons like daggers made of the same metal.
