Vannaka

Vannaka is a unique NPC, as he is level 146, and he acts as the combat trainer on Tutorial Island and a Slayer master in Edgeville Dungeon. His mastery in swordsmanship and combat is shown by his high level and the fact that he wields both a two-handed sword and dragon square shield at the same time.

As a combat master, he gives new players a wooden shield and bronze sword and teaches them how melee and ranged combat work.

Vannaka can also be found later in the game as a mid-level Slayer master in the Edgeville dungeon just east of the wilderness entrance at the slayer master icon. Players with a combat level 40 or higher may receive slayer assignments from him.

According to the Postbag from the Hedge, his Strength level is 128.
