Combat
Combat covers the Attack and Defense skills of Eternal Lands as they are usually trained together.
Melee strength depends on many factors such as attack and defense levels, physique and coordination attributes, weapons, armour, some medallions, some rings, some clothes, combat books, healing ability (magic, potions, or clothing), and astrology. However, melee combat is not the only way to fight. You can fight using magic, summoning, or various items from the crafting, engineering, potions, ranging, or tailoring skills.
Therefore, the only way to know whether you can defeat a particular enemy is to fight it. For best results, focus on the combat order or ranking of creatures by difficulty. Move through the list from weakest to strongest until the creatures become too difficult for you.
