== Experience and Training == | |||
In melee combat, each point of damage gives <code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">floor(4/3 × damage)</code> [[experience]] in [[Hitpoints]], as well as <code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">4 × damage</code> experience distributed between the skills selected to be trained, rounded down. For this reason, it is optimal to avoid training all three melee styles simultaneously (i.e., "Controlled" or "Balanced"), as 1-2 XP will be lost if the damage dealt is not divisible by 3. This experience lost is significantly more impactful on lower damage hits. Experience is distributed as follows: | |||
* '''Single Style:''' <code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">4 × damage</code> XP in each skill | |||
* '''Two Styles:''' <code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">2 × damage</code> XP in each skill | |||
* '''Three Styles:''' <code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">floor(4/3 × damage)</code> XP in each skill | |||

[[Equipment/Longswords|Longswords]] are generally considered the best all-around melee weapon. [[Equipment/Scimitars|Scimitars]] excel when fighting weaker enemies due to their speed, while Longswords provide better [[Accuracy]]—useful against tougher enemies. [[Equipment/Battleaxes|Battleaxes]], although stronger on paper, are often less efficient due to their slower speed and marginal [[Strength]] benefit compared to the consistent value of Accuracy. | [[Equipment/Longswords|Longswords]] are generally considered the best all-around melee weapon.

== | == Safe-Spotting == | ||
Most enemies in ''[[HighSpell]]'' can be safely defeated using [[Range]] or [[Magic]] by taking advantage of the environment. By positioning yourself on the opposite side of an obstacle—such as a rock, crate, or other impassable object—you can attack [[Bestiary|enemies]] without them being able to reach you. | |||
This tactic, known as ''safe-spotting'', makes Range and Magic highly effective for training or fighting tougher enemies, as it allows you to deal consistent damage without taking any in return. As a result, it's possible to defeat nearly all enemies in the game without needing to use any [[food]], with the exception of [[Damogui]]. | |||

'''Note:''' Your [[Defense]] level and bonuses are applied universally across all combat styles—both in PvP and PvE. This makes training Defense a valuable investment regardless of whether you specialize in melee, ranged, or magic. | '''Note:''' Your [[Defense]] level and bonuses are applied universally across all combat styles—both in PvP and PvE.

== | == Combat Level Formula == | ||
A player's [[Combat Level|combat level]] in ''[[HighSpell]]'' is calculated using a formula that takes into account several [[combat]]-related stats: | |||
<code style="background: var(--bg-contrast) !important; border: 1px solid var(--border-color-base) !important;">((Hitpoints + Accuracy + Strength + Defense) + (Magic ÷ 4) + (Range ÷ 4)) ÷ 3.75</code> | |||
This means that your [[Hitpoints]], [[Accuracy]], [[Strength]], and [[Defense]] all contribute equally, while [[Magic]] and [[Range]] contribute at a reduced rate—only a quarter as much as the other stats. For example, gaining four levels in Magic is roughly equal to gaining one level in Strength or Defense in terms of combat level impact. | |||
Because of this, players who train all melee skills tend to see faster increases in combat level compared to those who focus solely on Magic or Range. However, all combat styles are equally valid and useful in different scenarios. | |||
