Combat has always been a big part of RuneScape, and now it’s getting a modern makeover. The Melee, Ranged, and Magic styles are all being refreshed with cleaner systems, sharper visuals, and a more enjoyable experience for players at every level.

We have been iterating on the design since December, running a Beta with you, the players, listening to feedback, rolling out near-weekly updates, and fine-tuning the systems to make sure this update hits just right. Dive in game today to get grips with your new abilities and power!

If you want a more in depth rundown of all the changes, head on over to our Combat Style Modernisation Part 1 & Combat Style Modernisation Part 2 or if you would like something a little snappier we have teamed up with enigmatic Edimmuz to create a video to help get folks up to speed!

The community has been hard at work over the past few weeks, diving into the Beta, sharing feedback, and helping shape these changes into the best possible version of themselves. One group in particular has consistently been at the forefront of PvM knowledge, creating resources and guides that help players of all experience levels engage with combat and bossing.

With this being such a large-scale update to how combat works, the team over at PvMe have been using the Beta to put together early guides to help players get up to speed. Below are a few suggested rotations they’ve created to help players who have the levels and gear but haven’t been following the changes hit the ground running.

Ranged Bars are still in the works.

They’re also using this opportunity to rebuild their guides from the ground up, with a renewed focus on making them useful for players of all skill levels. The main guides will no longer revolve around complex ability spreadsheets, instead aiming to stay clear, simple, and informative. Advanced rotations will move into separate guides, tailored for experienced players who want to push their performance even further. Check out their website for astounding guides and helpful tools.

Importantly they are looking for more engaged players in the community to help contribute to these new guides and hunting down the best rotations! If you are interested in contributing to PvME and its resources, please join the Discord server and lend a hand!

The in-game RuneMetrics functionality will become completely free for all paid members (including Bond users) later this month. This is part of a wider effort to make our tools more accessible and genuinely useful for all players. As part of this you are currently no longer able to purchase RuneMetrics Pro. RuneMetric Pro users will have until 20th March 2026 to download any data they would like to keep from the RuneMetrics Pro website. If you wish to download this data please check out this article for instructions.
