A medium-level build or med is an account build with similar power to a maxed main, but with a significantly lower combat level. This allows meds to attack lower level builds such as berserkers or one-defence pures in low-to-moderate wilderness and exercise significant gear and stat advantages over them. Meds will typically have 60-82 Attack and 70-80 Defence, depending on their desired equipment and combat level. This is combined with high offensive stats and 77 Prayer for Piety, Rigour, and Augury.

Example Sets
Notable quests
Experience management is more lenient on a med than on a berserker or a one-defence pure. Quests alone will not get the account to the desired levels without several hours of training. This is true for every combat stat on the account, and as a result, the list of quests which are barred from completion due to undesired experience rewards is non-existent if experience is managed. Med level accounts can complete all quests in the game. They notably make for capable PvM and skilling alts as well as PKing accounts due to this quality.
Training methods
For more information, see Pay-to-play melee training.
Most meds focus on training Strength to 99, as well as Ranged to 99 and Magic to 94 for Vengeance if veng pking, for Ice Barrage if NH pking on ancients, or to 95 for Fire Surge if NH pking on the standard spell book.
For the most part, meds use very similar training methods as main accounts.
