Strength

Strength is a combat skill in OldSchool RuneScape that determines the player's maximum hit.

Gaining experience
Strength experience is gained by dealing melee damage whilst having the attack style in the combat options interface set to aggressive or controlled.
 * When using the aggressive style every point of damage dealt gives the player 4 strength experience.
 * When using the controlled style every point of damage dealt gives the player 1.33 strength experience.

Maximum hit
The maximum melee hit can be calculated as follows:

$$ \mathrm{maxhit}= \left\lfloor 0.5 + (\lfloor \mathrm{strength} \times \mathrm{prayer} \rfloor + \mathrm{style}) \times \frac{\mathrm{bonus}+64} {640}\right\rfloor $$

where
 * strength is the (boosted) strength level
 * prayer is the prayer multiplier
 * style is the style bonus
 * bonus is the strength bonus

The prayer multipliers and style bonuses are listed below
