August 5, 201114 yr Following Archer's lead, I'm posting my research project from the-forums-that-must-not-be-named here on tif. The goal is to find the xp rates of the 3 resource skills as a function of level and equipment. This means we'll have to record whether or not a resource is received at every opportunity to receive a resource. The first portion of this project is to find when these opportunities occur. [spoiler=Known intervals]Fishing: 5 ticksHarpoon fishing: 8 ticksDragon Pickaxe: ~30% 2 ticks, ~70% 3 ticks (requires A LOT more data)Rune Pickaxe: 3 ticksDragon Hatchet: 4 ticks I also have a theory about how mining works that needs to be confirmed: Mining appears to be a function of speed and mining level. I.e. all picks should have the same success rate, just at different intervals. Recent data suggests that dragon picks mine at 2 and 3 tick intervals, with about 30% of them being the former. It appears that rune picks mine only at 3 tick intervals, but I'll need more data to prove it. In theory, adamant picks should alternate between 3 and 4 ticks, mithril should be static at 4, steel 4 and 5, iron 5, and bronze 5 and 6. Right now, this is my priority. I'd prefer that anyone who tests this be 99 mining with a lava titan, to reduce missed intervals. If you meet those criteria, record yourself mining concentrated gold. Use this http://www.screencast-o-matic.com/ to record and save your data. This makes it much easier for me to analyze the data. After all of this is finished, I'd like the following data: Hits/misses for each relevant level at teaks, ivy, and arctic pines.Hits/misses for each relevant level at sharks and monkfish.Hits/misses/distribution for each relevant level at salmon/trout and barbarian fishing.Hits/misses for each relevant level at iron.Hits/misses/double ores for each relevant level at concentrated gold and coal.Hits/misses/distribution for each relevant level at granite.Hits/misses for each hatchet at teaks, ivy, and arctic pines at 99 woodcutting. As far as I know, when you fish, a sound is played every time you attempt to catch a fish, so use this to log your hits/misses. If you'd like to participate in this project, post on my thread on xpw and I'll provide you with the necessary tools.
