Action Bar
Understanding the Action Bar
The action bar is an essental part of your interface in RuneScape. It holds your Combat abilities, and displays important stats.
Status Icons
The left side of the action bar displays four important status indicators.
Lifepoints
Shows your current and maximum health. If this reaches zero, your character will die. Food and certain abilities can restore lifepoints during combat.
Adrenaline
Adrenaline is the resource you build and spend in combat. Basic abilities generate adrenaline, stronger abilities consume it.
Tip: Clicking this icon toggles Auto-Retaliate, which makes your character automatically fight back when attacked.
Prayer Points
Displays your current and maximum prayer points. Prayers drain these points while active, providing powerful combat bonuses.
Tip: Right-click to set up Quick Prayers, then left-click or use a keybind to toggle them all at once.
Summoning Points
Shows your current and maximum summoning points, used by your familiar's special abilities.
Tip: Right-click for quick access to special move scrolls, familiar inventory, and the "Call Familiar" option.
Ability Slots
The 14 slots in the center of the action bar are where you place your abilities. You can drag abilities from the Powers interface or right-click a slot to customize it.
