Create enemy page from server drop tables and NPC definitions

New page

This page covers what is new for the melee combat skills – '''Attack''', '''Strength''', '''Defense''' and '''Hits''' – in Revival RSC. See also [[Magic]], [[Ranged]] and [[Prayer]].

This page covers what is '''new or different in Revival RSC'''. Everything else about the skill works as it did in the original RuneScape Classic.

== How monsters behave ==
* Aggressive monsters notice you from '''4 tiles''' away rather than 1. They still ignore players of more than twice their level.
* Monsters '''never run away''' when their health is low.
* Neither monsters nor other players '''block your path'''.
* Monsters chase you around obstacles more intelligently.
* '''Poisoned daggers can poison monsters''': each hit has a 1 in 50 chance. The new [[poisoned dragon dagger]] is included.

== Combat capes ==
The Attack, Strength and Defense [[skill capes]] each add a chance-based effect, and the combined [[Custom items#Boss capes|boss capes]] carry all three at once.

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
! Cape !! Effect
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:attack-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Attack cape|Attack cape]]</span></div>
| When an attack misses, 35% chance that it is re-rolled. ''"Your cape allows you to hit the enemy!"''
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:strength-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Strength cape|Strength cape]]</span></div>
| When you hit for at least half your max hit, 35% chance of a critical that adds a further 20% of your max hit.
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:defense-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Defense cape|Defense cape]]</span></div>
| 35% chance to halve the damage of an incoming melee hit. It also reduces dragonfire by 25%.
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:hits-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Hits cape|Hits cape]]</span></div>
| Food heals an extra 2, 4 or 6 hits, with an equal chance of each or of nothing extra.

| style="text-align:center;" | 30%

| style="text-align:center;" | 40%
| style="text-align:center;" | 37.5% of max hit

| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:legendary-boss-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Legendary boss cape|Legendary boss cape]]</span></div>
| style="text-align:center;" | 42.5%
| style="text-align:center;" | 45% of max hit
| style="text-align:center;" | +9
|}

== Socketed dragon weapons ==
[[Thurvar]] can forge a socket into a dragon sword, dragon axe or [[dragon 2-handed sword]], which then holds an enchanted [[Slayer#Slayer gems|slayer gem]].

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 800px;"
! Gem !! Nascent !! Prime !! Elder !! Primordial
|-
| '''Power''' or '''Aim'''
| +2
| +4
| +7
| +9
|-
| '''Prayer'''
| +2
| +4
| +6
| +8
|-
| '''Sonic''' (aim, power and prayer)
| +3 each
| +5 each
| +8 aim and power, +7 prayer
| +10 aim and power, +9 prayer
|}

'''Demon, Dragon and Giant gems''' instead give '''+24 aim and +24 power''' while fighting that family of monster. Against the [[Enraged shadow giant]], a Giant gem gives +2,100 aim – the only practical way to get through his 3,000 Defense.

== Combat potions ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 800px;"
! Potion !! style="text-align:center;" | Herblaw level !! Boost per dose
|-
| Super attack, strength and defense (original)

| style="text-align:center;" | 81
| Defense +1 and 20% and Hits +1 and 15%, but Attack, Strength, Ranged and Magic −1 and 10%
|}

== New equipment ==
{| class="wikitable" style="width: 100%;"
! Item !! Notes
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:dragon-2-handed-sword.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Dragon 2-handed sword|Dragon 2-handed sword]]</span></div>
| The strongest melee weapon, with 99 aim and 99 power. Dropped by the King Black Dragon.
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:dragon-dagger.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Dragon dagger|Dragon dagger]]</span></div>
| 60 aim and 60 power at level 50 Attack. It can be poisoned.
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:dragon-scale-mail-body.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Dragon scale mail|Dragon scale mail]]</span></div>
| The best body armour: 95 armour with +10 aim and +6 power. It also absorbs 10% of dragonfire. See [[Dwarf Youth Rescue]].
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:dragon-plate-mail-legs.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Dragon plate mail legs|Dragon plate mail legs]]</span></div>
| The best leg armour, dropped by the [[Enraged shadow giant]].
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:large-dragon-helmet.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Large dragon helmet|Large dragon helmet]]</span></div>
| The best helmet, dropped by [[Nyrex the infernal]].
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:enraged-shadowstone-amulet.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Enraged shadowstone amulet|Enraged shadowstone amulet]]</span></div>
| +12 aim, +15 power, +2 magic and +5 prayer – well beyond a dragonstone amulet for melee.
|}

== Dragonfire ==
Protection from dragonfire now '''adds up''' across items when you fight a dragon in melee:

{| class="wikitable" style="width: 500px;"
! Item !! style="text-align:center;" | Dragonfire reduced by
|-
| Anti dragon breath shield
| style="text-align:center;" | 80%
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:defense-cape.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Defense cape|Defense cape]]</span></div>
| style="text-align:center;" | 25%
|-
| <div style="display:inline-flex; align-items:center;">[[File:dragon-scale-mail-body.png|36px|link=]]<span style="margin-left:10px;">[[Dragon scale mail|Dragon scale mail]]</span></div>
| style="text-align:center;" | 10%
|}

The boss capes do not count as a Defense cape for this.

== Rings ==
* '''[[Ring of recoil]]''' reflects a tenth of the damage you take, plus 1, back at the attacker – from melee, ranged or magic – until it has reflected 40 damage.
* '''[[Ring of life]]''' teleports you to Lumbridge if a hit leaves you at 10% of your hitpoints or less, and then shatters. It does not work above level 30 Wilderness.

== Hits and food ==
* [[Seaweed soup]] heals '''26''', more than any original food. Sharks, manta rays and sea turtles heal 20.
* The new '''[[Life Sap]]''' prayer heals you for a fifth of the damage you deal.
* Hitpoints and other stats regenerate a little faster than in the original game, because the game itself runs at a faster tick.
