== Introduction ==
+
  This is the regular Defence guide, the guide for ironman / hardcore ironman players can be found [https://wiki.etherumps.com/Main_page/Guides/Ironman_%26_Hardcore/Skilling_Guides/_Defence here.]
Defence is a major combat skill in Pvming. Defence is what allows you to wear better Armour and also better shields. Defence is a fast and easy combat skill to level up. This guide will show you how and where to level up Defence and also show you where to get some gear to help you get started.
 
  
== Where to start ==
+
Defence is one of the primary combat skills that grants players protection in all forms of combat. Many pures avoid training Defence as they want to get a lower Combat level than usual, while focusing all attention on increasing their max hit.
  
You can start at Edgeville. Run south until you find the shops. You will want to look for "Giles","Flynn" and "Bob".
+
The higher your Defence level, the fewer successful blows an opponent will land against the player, this applies to all combat styles used against the player. Defence is thus a vital skill for enduring attacks for long periods of time, and can be extremely helpful against opponents with high Attack, Ranged, or Magic. Defence does not affect the amount of damage taken when a successful attack is landed on the player.

+
A higher Defence level also allows a player to equip stronger equipment, as most pieces of armour have a Defence level requirement.
  
Giles sells your basic Armour and the ring of recoil which is used for combat.
+
=Getting Basic Weapons=
 +
You can start at Edgeville. Inside the building north-west of the general store, you will find an NPC that sells basic gear. You will want to look for "Oziach".

Oziach sells your basic armours.

Bob sells you boots not including Rune and Dragon.
+
You can get more basic gear and weapons at the table at ::pksupply inside edge bank. All these items are free.

=Defence Training Styles=
 +
Melee weapons vary in their attack styles. Some have four options, with a controlled option, while others have only three options.

+
==Defensive==
 +
The Defencive combat style is usually the bottom right option of the combat interface if there are 4 options, or the bottom left option if there are 3 options.
 +
When using the defencive style for every point of damage a player deals, you gain 600 experience in Defence and 150 experience in Hitpoints. Using the Defencive style provides an invisible +3 boost to your Defence level.

https://i.imgur.com/ysYud0D.png https://i.imgur.com/2rZqJnL.png
  
Here you will find all the Rock crabs you will ever need to start leveling up your combat stats. Start killing these until you feel you have a high enough Defence level to move on to killing other monsters such as Hill Giants or yaks in Edgeville dungeon. Slayer is also a good skill to train whilst also leveling up combat skills.
+
==Controlled==
 +
The Controlled combat style is usually the bottom left option of the combat style interface if there are 4 options, or the top right option if there are 3. When using the controlled style for every point of damage you deal, you gain 200 experience in Attack, Strength, and Defence and 150 experience in Hitpoints. Using the controlled style provides an invisible +1 boost to your Attack, Strength and Defence levels. This attack style is only available in some melee weapons.

 This is the regular Defence guide, the guide for ironman / hardcore ironman players can be found here.

Defence is one of the primary combat skills that grants players protection in all forms of combat. Many pures avoid training Defence as they want to get a lower Combat level than usual, while focusing all attention on increasing their max hit.

The higher your Defence level, the fewer successful blows an opponent will land against the player, this applies to all combat styles used against the player. Defence is thus a vital skill for enduring attacks for long periods of time, and can be extremely helpful against opponents with high Attack, Ranged, or Magic. Defence does not affect the amount of damage taken when a successful attack is landed on the player.

A higher Defence level also allows a player to equip stronger equipment, as most pieces of armour have a Defence level requirement.

Getting Basic Weapons

You can start at Edgeville. Inside the building north-west of the general store, you will find an NPC that sells basic gear. You will want to look for "Oziach".

Defence Training Styles

Melee weapons vary in their attack styles. Some have four options, with a controlled option, while others have only three options.

Defensive

The Defencive combat style is usually the bottom right option of the combat interface if there are 4 options, or the bottom left option if there are 3 options. When using the defencive style for every point of damage a player deals, you gain 600 experience in Defence and 150 experience in Hitpoints. Using the Defencive style provides an invisible +3 boost to your Defence level.

Controlled

The Controlled combat style is usually the bottom left option of the combat style interface if there are 4 options, or the top right option if there are 3. When using the controlled style for every point of damage you deal, you gain 200 experience in Attack, Strength, and Defence and 150 experience in Hitpoints. Using the controlled style provides an invisible +1 boost to your Attack, Strength and Defence levels. This attack style is only available in some melee weapons.
