Changing your stats in RuneScape is no easy feat, especially if you want to do it legally. There are various programs out there that will allow you to change your RuneScape stats as well, plus there are some services that will actively play your character for you.

The Best Way of Changing Your Stats

The best way of changing your character's stats in the magical world of RuneScape is simply to play the game. As you defeat enemies and accomplish tasks, your character will gain experience and levels. This will naturally make your character more powerful and up his or her stats.

RuneScape is, when it's all said and done, a game. By skipping over gaining levels and experience, you're missing out on the key element of RuneScape. The main goal of the game isn't getting to the highest level or maximum stats but to enjoy playing.

Using a Stat Adjustment Program

However, if you want to max out your stats without actually doing any of the work, you can download a RuneScape stat changer. Generally, you have to purchase these programs, and they're usually a bit on the pricy side. Once you've downloaded them, they give you the ability to hack into the RuneScape server and change your character's stats to whatever you want.

One very important thing to know about these programs is that many of them include viruses and other harmful things. You should run a virus scanner immediately after downloading the program to make certain there's nothing harmful hidden in it. Even if the scan turns up negative, be very cautious when using illegal programs like stat changers.

Also note that the Jagex staff (the creators of RuneScape) do not approve of stat changers and will ban your account if they discover you using one.

Allowing Others to Play Your Character

Another way of getting your character's stats up is to pay another person to play your account. Like the stat changing programs, you can find these services on various websites. However, note that you must give these other players your RuneScape user name and password. This gives them full access to your account, and you never know what they're going to do. Some may actually level your character, but others may scam you.

Sometimes, these services will level your character to a certain level, while other times you can specify which stats you want increased. Either way, be certain that nothing bad has happened to your account, and immediately change your password after your character's stats have been increased.

Again, using a stat changing service is just as illegal as using a stat changing program, and Jagex will ban your account if they discover that you've done this.

Don't Risk It

As you can see, the two “easy” ways of gaining stats in RuneScape both carry huge risks. Stat changing programs can infect your computer with many harmful viruses, while hiring other people to play your character can result in your character's gold and gear being stolen. Both also bring up the risk of having your account banned.

If you truly want to increase your character's stats, simply play the game. It doesn't cost you extra money, nor is there any risk to your computer or character.
