How does the optimizer decide the split?

Each playstyle has a weight profile across four stat groups. The tool divides your total points in proportion to those weights, then rounds while preserving the total, so every point lands on the stat that best matches your chosen build.

What is the difference between the playstyles?

Glass cannon pushes most points into offence and accuracy for maximum damage with little survivability. Tank front-loads defence and sustain to outlast fights. Balanced spreads points so you deal solid damage while staying durable enough for most content.

Why does combat style matter?

Your combat style decides which stat is your primary damage driver — strength for melee, ranged for bows, or magic for spells. The optimizer labels the offence group with your primary stat so the output reads directly as your build sheet.

Does the split always add up to my total?

Yes. After proportional allocation and rounding, the tool reconciles any rounding drift so the sum of the four groups equals exactly the number of points you entered, with no points lost or invented.

Is one playstyle objectively best?

No. Glass cannon maximises kill speed but dies fast, which suits high-defence solo bossing only with good food. Tank trades damage for safety, ideal for learning mechanics. Balanced is the safest default for most account stages and content.

A strong Old School RuneScape build is about putting each stat point where it adds the most value for how you actually play. This optimizer takes your combat style, playstyle, and point budget and returns the split that best serves your goal.

How it works

Each playstyle defines a weight profile across four stat groups — offence, accuracy, defence, and sustain. Your total points are divided in proportion to those weights, then rounded to whole points while preserving the total:

share(group) = total points × weight(group) / Σ weights
allocation   = round(share), reconciled so Σ allocations = total points

The offence group is labelled with your primary stat — strength for melee, ranged, or magic — so the result reads directly as a build sheet.

Example and tips

With 200 points on a glass-cannon ranged build, the optimizer pushes the bulk into ranged offence and accuracy and leaves only a thin defence and sustain cushion, maximising kill speed. The same 200 points on a tank profile front-loads defence and sustain so you can outlast long fights. If you are unsure, start balanced: it deals respectable damage while keeping you durable enough for almost all content, and you can re-spend toward glass cannon once you know a fight’s mechanics.
