Hello, I've started a new char a few days ago. I'm only training for attack exp. will this work. Or do you really need strenght. I'm currently lvl 12 attack and i'm wielding a black longsword but i'm only doing 1 (mostly 0) is this because i lack the strenght our is this normal. I'm not starting with defence because i want to carry rune pickaxes and axes as soon as possible.
