The '''Attack speed''' of a [[weapon]] determines the rate of attack of a player wielding that weapon. This is a factor which is often considered by players when forming strategies for activities such as [[player-killing]]. Weapons such as the [[abyssal whip]] and the [[dragon dagger]] are extremely popular because of their high attack speed.

The speed of each weapon is represented by a bar on which there are several possible values ranging from 10 (theoretical maximum, though if the speed were 10, there would be a delay of "0" between attacks) to 1 (slowest). The bar is separated into ten squares of red, yellow, and green . The value represents the number of squares shown, with 10 displaying a full bar and 0 displaying an empty bar. The delay time in [[tick]]s between each attack is equal to '''10 − ''speed value''''', and therefore the delay time in seconds between attacks is '''(10 − ''speed value'') x 0.6'''. If the attack mode is set to ''Rapid'', the speed value increases by 1. If the attack speed of a weapon is 8 or higher the player will hit again before the previous damage vanishes (currently, 8 is the highest attack speed available). If a player is under the effect of a [[Miasmic]] spell, his or her melee and ranged attack speed will be slowed by 50%.

All the weapons with rapid style are arranged according to the attacking speed without using rapid style. There is no weapon at all that has natural attack speed of 8, but using rapid style can achieve it.

|[[Hand cannon]]
|Very slow
|Weapons here are more accurate and hit harder than their faster counterparts. They are often used for training on creatures with high defence since they will hit more often than conventional training weapons. Often used in [[PVP]] as 'finishing weapons'
