'''Combat''' is the [[Skills|skill]] associated with fighting [[monsters]], such as in [[The Mines]] or the [[Skull Cavern]]. Combat is increased by killing monsters, with more difficult monsters granting more 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===

===Critical hit chance===

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" />. If the weapon has a "+X Crit. Chance" [[Forge#Innate enchantments|innate enchantment]], then each level adds 2% to the percentage, e.g. with +3 and 2 aquamarine rings, the percentage is 26%.

## 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%.

# Finally, 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%

## With 2 rings and the best (+3) innate enchantment: 19.91%.

# If the [[Statue Of Blessings]] gives the Blessing of Fangs buff, an additive 10% is added to the crit chance.<ref name="scoutcode" /> A player using a [[Galaxy Sword]] that is [[Forge#Weapon forging|triple-enchanted]] with [[Aquamarine]] and equipped with 2 [[Aquamarine Ring|aquamarine rings]] has an 18.96% chance to crit, increasing to 28.96% with the Blessing of Fangs buff from the [[Statue Of Blessings]],

# 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%.

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]].
