Item Overview
The Attack Potion is a beneficial consumable item in Old School RuneScape (OSRS) that players use to temporarily boost their Attack skill. This potion is essential for those looking to maximize their combat effectiveness during training or boss fights. With its ability to provide a significant increase in Attack level, it has become a staple in the inventories of many players.
How to Obtain Attack Potion
Players can create the Attack Potion by using a Guam leaf alongside a vial of water. This process requires level 1 Herblore. Once you have the necessary ingredients, the steps are as follows:
- Obtain Guam leaves (commonly found from low-level monsters or purchased from the Grand Exchange).
- Acquire a vial of water (these can be filled at any water source).
- Use the Guam leaf on the vial of water to create the Attack Potion.
Effect of the Attack Potion
Upon consumption, the Attack Potion grants the player a temporary boost of 3 levels to their Attack skill, up to a maximum of 130. This boost lasts for 5 minutes (300 seconds) and can significantly enhance a player’s damage output and accuracy in combat situations.
For example, if a player with a base Attack level of 70 drinks an Attack Potion, their effective Attack level during the potion’s duration will be 73.
Usage in Combat
The Attack Potion is particularly useful in the following scenarios:
- Boss Fights: Players often use Attack Potions to maximize their damage output when fighting challenging bosses, such as Zulrah or Corporeal Beast.
- Training Combat Skills: When training melee combat skills, the potion helps players achieve more efficient experience rates by increasing their hit chance.
- Player vs. Player (PvP): In PvP scenarios, such as the Wilderness or Castle Wars, the Attack Potion can give a crucial edge over opponents.

The Attack Potion is one of several combat-enhancing potions available in OSRS. Below is a comparison with other notable potions:
| Potion | Attack Boost | Duration | Herblore Level Required |

Price and Market Trends
The price of the Attack Potion can fluctuate based on player demand and supply in the Grand Exchange. Prices typically range from 1,000 to 2,000 coins per potion, but this can change based on the market dynamics. Players often look for bargains or buy in bulk to save coins. Monitoring the market for these potions can provide a significant edge, especially when planning for major bossing sessions or combat training.
