The Ultimate P2P Melee Guide

[Weebler00]

This is my Ultimate P2P Melee guide. Unlike my first guide, this is something more in my area, so it should be a lot more helpful.

 

1. [hide=Equipment]

Helmet: Helm of Neitznot > Berserker Helm > Warrior Helm

Top: Bandos > Barrows > Dragon > Rune

Legs: Bandos > Barrows > Dragon > Rune

Boots: Dragon > Bandos > Rune

Cape: Fire Cape > SW Cape > Trimmed SC > Ardy Cloak 3, Untrimmed SC, Obby

Amulet: Fury > Glory > Strength > Defence

Gloves: Barrows RFD > Dragon RFD > Rune RFD > Regen Brace > Addy RFD > CB brace

Ring: Berserker Ring (i) > Berserker Ring > Warrior Ring > Ring of Life

Weapon: Whip > GS > SS > D Scim

Shield: Blessed Spirit Shield > Rune Defender > DFS > Obby Shield

 

However, if you're using prayer:

Helmet: Helm of Neitiznot > Proselyte

Top: Proselyte > Initiate

Legs: Proselyte > Initiate

Boots: White > Dragon

Cape: SW Cape, Ardy 3, Trimmed SC

Amulet: Fury > Glory

Gloves: Barrows RFD > White > Other RFD gloves

Ring: Berserker Ring (i) > Berserker Ring > Warrior Ring > Ring of Life

Weapon: Whip > GS > SS > D Scim

3. [hide=Training Methods]

One of the most profitable methods is 75-99 using Slayer. I'd suggest using Chaeldar / Duradel / Kuradal as much as possible. If you have done the quest While Guthix Sleeps, Duradel will be replaced by Lapalok.

 

Other methods:

1-10 Chickens, in Lumbridge

10-20 Cows, in Lumbridge

20 - 30 Al Kharid Warriors, in Al Kharid, near the great big fountain

Level 30-40 on Guards, in Varrock palace

Level 40-60 on Rock Crabs, in Femennik

Level 60-75 on Giant Spiders, in level 3 of the Stronghold of Security

Level 75-90 on Ankous, in level 4 of the Stronghold of Security

 

Now for levels 90-99, we have a few options, in order of my favorite to least:

Slayer - Anywhere between 20-100k P/Hour - Good Profit

Armoured Zombies - 120k P/Hour

Bandits - Between 60-100k P/Hour

Brine Rats - Between 40k - 60k P/Hour - Good Profit

Zombies on Ape Atoll - 90k P/Hour

Guards on Ape Atoll - 80-90k P/Hour

Pest Control - 50-80k P/Hour - Some Profit

Soul Wars - 65k P/Hour

Ankous - 55k P/Hour - Good Profit

Yaks - 40-60k P/Hour

Notes:

This guide is still under construction, I'm adding in some screenshots. If I'm missing a bit of information, please do post it as a response.

The SoS sucks, rune defender is better than dfs, and any1 without maxed melee shouldnt have a Spirit Shield

[Bladewing]

No prayer:

Boots: Bandos boots are worse than rune boots, climbing boots, and adamant boots.

Weapon: Sara sword and Zamorakian spear are both better than a godsword for training.

Shield: Rune Defender > DFS > Obsidian > Any blessed shield, when training

 

Using prayer:

Boots: Dragon are still better to use than white. Hell, even bandos would be better, at least you get defence.

Cape: SW Cape > Fire > others

Gloves: ANY RFD gloves or a Regen or Combat bracelet would be better than white gloves.

Weapon: Whip > SS > ZS > GS, still.

Shield: Rune Defender > Unholy Book (others are trash) > Falador 3 Shield > DFS

Training areas:

Giant spiders and ankou are trash. Stick with experiments/rock crabs/yaks til 70 melees and then start armoured zombies with salve (e) til 99. You can do zombie monkeys if you want, but you'll have to buy prayer potions.

 

Slayer sucks for xp and money too, by the way.

0.5/10 on the guide. This isn't really a guide though, it is more or less showing people how to waste 20mins typing...
