'''Combat''' is the [[Skills|skill]] associated with fighting [[monsters]], such as in [[The Mines]] or the [[Skull Cavern]]. Combat is usually increased by killing monsters, with more difficult monsters granting more experience, except on the [[Farm Maps|Wilderness Farm]], where killing monsters does not increase experience.

Each increase in Combat Level adds 5 HP ([[health]] points) to the player's health meter, with the exceptions of levels 5 and 10. Health points are only increased when levelling up to levels 5 or 10 if the Fighter and Defender professions are chosen. Level-ups may also add [[Crafting]] or [[Cooking]] recipes. Unlike other skills, there is no [[Skills#Proficiency|proficiency]] effect from this skill since [[weapons]] do not require energy.

As with other skills, note that experience level is increased immediately upon slaying a monster, but the "level up" window doesn't appear until the player sleeps (or until all players sleep in [[multiplayer]]).

Critical hit chance is computed in the following order:

Critical hit chance is computed in the following order:

# Each weapon has a base critical hit chance. For example, the Galaxy Sword has a critical hit chance of 2% <ref name="weaponsxnb" />.

# Each weapon has a base critical hit chance. For example, the Galaxy Sword has a critical hit chance of 2%<ref name="weaponsxnb" />.

# In 1.5, the [[Forge#Weapon forging|Aquamarine forging]] increases crit chance in an additive manner via the following formula: <samp>critChance += 0.046 * forgingLevel</samp>. For example, with 3 Aquamarine forged, the crit chance is increased by 13.8%. With the [[Galaxy Sword]], this means the chance is 15.8% <ref name="aquamarineenchantment" />.

# In 1.5, the [[Forge#Weapon forging|Aquamarine forging]] increases crit chance in an additive manner via the following formula: <samp>critChance += 0.046 * forgingLevel</samp>. For example, with 3 Aquamarine forged, the crit chance is increased by 13.8%. With the [[Galaxy Sword]], this means the chance is 15.8%<ref name="aquamarineenchantment" />.

# If the weapon is a [[Weapons#Dagger|dagger]] <samp>critChance = (critChance + 0.005) * 1.12</samp> <ref name="dagger" />.

# If the weapon is a [[Weapons#Dagger|dagger]] <samp>critChance = (critChance + 0.005) * 1.12</samp><ref name="dagger" />.

# If a single [[Aquamarine Ring|aquamarine ring]] is used, critical hit chance is increased in a multiplicative manner by 10%. If two aquamarine rings are used, the critical hit chance is increased in a multiplicative manner by 20% <ref name="ringcrit" />.

# If a single [[Aquamarine Ring|aquamarine ring]] is used, critical hit chance is increased in a multiplicative manner by 10%. If two aquamarine rings are used, the critical hit chance is increased in a multiplicative manner by 20%<ref name="ringcrit" />.

## So with the galaxy sword and 1 ring and 3 forging: 15.8*1.1 = 17.38%.

## So with the galaxy sword and 1 ring and 3 forging: 15.8*1.1 = 17.38%.

## With 2 rings: 18.96%.

## With 2 rings: 18.96%.

# The Scout Profession further increases critical hit chance in a multiplicative manner by 50% with the following formula: <samp>critChance = critChance * 1.5</samp> <ref name="scoutcode" />. For the galaxy sword with 2 rings and 3 forging, and the scout profession, the critChance is: 18.96 * 1.5 = 28.44%.

# Finally, every point of luck from food and rings increased crit chance in an additive manner by 2.5% with the following formula: <samp>critChance += LuckLevel * critChance / 40</samp> <ref name="luckcrit" />.  

# The Scout Profession further increases critical hit chance in a multiplicative manner by 50% with the following formula: <samp>critChance = critChance * 1.5</samp><ref name="scoutcode" />. For the galaxy sword with 2 rings, 3 forging, the Blessing of Fangs buff from the [[Statue Of Blessings]], and the scout profession, the critChance is: 28.96 * 1.5 = 43.44%.

# Finally, every point of luck from food and rings increased crit chance in an additive manner by 2.5% with the following formula: <samp>critChance += LuckLevel * critChance / 40</samp><ref name="luckcrit" />.  

The Desperado profession increases the damage of critical hits again by 2x after all bonuses are applied. Further information about this is discussed in [[Crit. Power]].
