OSRS Attack XP calculator and training plan
Calculate OSRS Attack XP between levels and compare training time, cost, profit and milestones for practical Attack methods.
Where are you headed?
Rates are planning estimates. Gear, attention and route setup will change your real result.
What this page helps you decide
Attack training supports melee accuracy and weapon requirements. The calculator uses the standard level-to-XP curve, then applies a selected planning rate so you can compare AFK combat, Slayer progress and faster focused training. Exact XP is separated from estimated pace and cost. The primary search intent of this landing page is “OSRS Attack XP calculator”. It answers that one decision; related pages own different comparisons, methods and entities so two URLs do not compete for the same keyword.
Compare three curated Attack approaches with different attention or cost profiles.
Break a distant target into 25%, 50%, 75% and completion steps.
XP follows the level curve; hourly rate, cost and time remain estimates.
How to interpret Attack
Attack targets are usually equipment or quest gates. Set the smallest level that unlocks the next weapon or activity before comparing training speed.
Choose the target
Level 60, 70, 75 and 82 are common weapon checkpoints, but the useful target depends on the weapon and content already available to the account.
Choose the method
Crabs trade speed for low attention, Nightmare Zone offers a controlled loop, and Slayer can progress combat alongside task unlocks.
Interpret the cost
Food, potions, ammunition and opportunity cost vary by setup. The calculator rate is a scenario, not a guaranteed account-wide budget.
| Route | Best for | Main trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Sand crabs | Low attention | Slower progression |
| Nightmare Zone | Repeatable sessions | Points and setup |
| Slayer combat | Two goals at once | Task-dependent pace |
Use the number, then verify the game state
Set the real target
Use the Attack level required by your next quest, item, diary or PvM goal.
Compare methods
Balance speed against GP and attention instead of automatically choosing the largest XP/hour number.
Plan sessions
Turn the estimated hours into milestones that fit the time you actually play.
Turn Attack into a reliable next step
For Attack, the practical question is how to turn the next Attack level into a realistic training schedule. Attack targets are usually equipment or quest gates. Set the smallest level that unlocks the next weapon or activity before comparing training speed. Choose the target matters here because Level 60, 70, 75 and 82 are common weapon checkpoints, but the useful target depends on the weapon and content already available to the account.
The first two checks are level range: 1–99 and methods: 3 routes. For the first check, Choose whole current and target levels for an exact XP gap. For the second, Compare three curated Attack approaches with different attention or cost profiles.
The reviewed status for Attack is exact formula + estimates. Interpret the cost: Food, potions, ammunition and opportunity cost vary by setup. The calculator rate is a scenario, not a guaranteed account-wide budget. Use OSRS Wiki: Experience to verify Attack mechanics or data before relying on the result.
Apply the result instead of reading it in isolation
For Attack: A useful route balances speed, GP and attention. The fastest method on paper is not automatically the fastest route to the wider goal.

What to confirm before acting
Before applying Attack: Connect the target to a quest, diary, equipment requirement or milestone so the grind has a stopping point.

Sand crabs
Attack evidence: Low attention
Attack check: Slower progression.
Nightmare Zone
Attack evidence: Repeatable sessions
Attack check: Points and setup.
Slayer combat

01Is the Attack XP calculation exact?+
The XP difference between the selected whole levels uses the standard RuneScape experience formula. Method rates and completion time are estimates.
02Why might my XP per hour be lower?+
Gear, banking, travel, mistakes, breaks and attention all reduce a theoretical rate. Add a buffer when scheduling a target.
03Can a slower method be better?+
Yes. A slower Attack route can preserve GP, require less attention or progress another account goal at the same time.
