Skills

Skills are a player's trainable abilities that may be levelled throughout

their  game play. Any given skill can be  trained by various actions that relate to the skill. Per forming any of these various actions grants the player  experience in that skill.

Using items such as experience lamps  can  increase a skill by a variable amount of experience points based on the player's skill selection. Certain skills may allow players to  cook,  chop down  trees,  make fires, use  magic,  craft  runes, and so on.

<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Some skills complement other skills. For example, logs obtained from  Woodcutting<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> can be used for  Firemaking<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, and fires from firemaking can be used for  Cooking<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> food. Food can then be used to replenish  life points<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;"> to help in  Combat<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, which can be used to kill NPCs that drop herbs, which may then be used for  Herblore<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">. Some herblore potions may, for example, boost mining so you can mine ores to smith with, which may then be used to create nails.

<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">Nails can be used in  Construction<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">. Altars may be constructed within one's  house<span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">, which can be used to further train prayer <span style="font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;line-height:22px;">. The higher your level is in a given skill, the more resources you will unlock from that skill to enhance game play.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">Achieving higher levels in skills can give players various advantages <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">, such as Agility  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">shortcuts, faster  cutting of wood<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">, etcetera. Skills are often contrasted with  money<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;line-height:22px;">, some of which are profitable, and others which do not provide the player with any in game wealth whatsoever.
