Does Mage or Range level impact mage or range defense?

[Ngorge]

I have heard this rumor forever both in general and with respect to ahrim and karil. I know defense level is the prime component in determing defense against any type of attack, but does your range level in some way impact your range defense? Similarly for mage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Since I have heard plenty of rumors, I would appreciate something concrete to answer this question.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks!

Magic level affects magic defence, but im not sure about range. It's also stated in Runescape knowledge base.

Im pretty sure range has nothing to do with range defence

What affects my Magic Defence?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Magic Defence depends on your Magic skill level, Defence level and equipment you are wearing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The higher your skill levels and Magic bonus, the less likely you are to get hit. You will also receive less damage from a spell.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I don't know about the range part, but I doubt range levels effect defense from range effects.

no, that would be your deffence lvl

i am 95% sure that higher magic helps for your magic deffence. i have no idea about deffence but i think it works the same like magic.

Mage Level affects Mage Defence

 

Defence Level affects MELEE and RANGE defence.

Mage Level affects Mage Defence

 

Defence Level affects MELEE and RANGE defence.

 

Defence level affects magic defence together with magic level.

The only factor where range is of use in defence, is that it controls the kind of range armour you can use.

def and magic level for magic and range has only defense

[Ngorge]

I'm hearing a lot more opinions, but not anything concrete. Why would mage level affect mage defense (along with defense level), but not similarly for range and range defense?

 

 

 

Does anyone know of any tests, or links in knowledge base? I haven't had any luck answering this question there.

 

 

 

Thanks!

True facts, Magic level improves your magic defense. And so does Defense. I think its 75/25 respectively, but can't be sure. (I think there was a news article on it around the time of RS2 being released.)

Its the second question.
