It implies Russians are good at breaking into computer systems. ;) Also, what do you mean 'can you get the code'? You mean this? You could've taken it on your own... [img=http://i232.photobucket.com/albums/ee135/omg-wtf/nosailing.png]

you just lost about 95% of the posters with that one mate No, those were not the good ones. They are the ones that ruined the economy.

I despise the fact that the Library blocks Runescape but I'm lucky they don't block TIF. Clearly you aren't a Russian. ;)

I think the "What a curious village." is likely a reference to Witchaven, seeing as there appear to be references for Sir Tiffy and the Temple Knights... So perhaps we've now got 4 quest line continuations that are happening this year?

"Void ranger helm: +10% to Attack and damage", to quote the KB.

I'd have posted these earlier but I had to leave right after I got them... Thursday, April 02, 2009 Added Gnoeals (level-84) Added Gnoeals (level-93) Added Yeti (level-93) Added Nial Swiftfling (level-156)

^ True This Pokemon Mudkipz stuff is nonsense. Due to the way the censoring system works in phpBB, there'll be some leftovers from this. >.<

1. I'm disappointed in YOU. 2. The other day I met an extremely polite newb. Her first question to me was "I started 6 days ago, am I doing good?". She was level 54. I told her she was doing excellent and encouraged her along. She mentioned she needed to buy a couple duel rings when she was done fighting, so I said "wait here" and got her two duel rings for free from the bank. She thanked me politely and I explained to her that I help newbs who are polite and courteous and do not beg. She traded me an herb when I gave her the rings and said the game told her she needed a really high level to clean it. I cleaned it and returned it to her instead of keeping it, then explained the former and current systems involved with herb identification. She thanked me for the information, and thanked me multiple times for leaving bones on the ground for her to raise her prayer level with. When I left I wished her good luck on her future adventures, and with the attitude she had for a starting player (and the impressive levels she'd achieved in only 6 days of playing) I know she'll become a valuable player to the RuneScape community. 3. I understand this particular player deserved what he got, I was simply stating this action should not be taken on ALL new players regardless of their behavior.

Oh, riiiight... brews! Didn't think of those. Know anything that drops strength level to zero? Also, I don't think this would work but do you think ranged strength (and melee strength) aren't called strength BONUSES for nothing? Maybe it's actually (strength + strengthBonus) * someConstant I think that probably won't work, maybe Jagex just names things oddly. I'm sure it's been tried and failed for years before, but you never know. I'm leaving AGAIN, so I'll be back in around 3 hours. :) There's an option to select the Zanik crossbow special attack on the calculator, and it gives +15 damage, not +15%. So for you it'd have said 59 which is above the max you saw.

1. I don't hate noobs 2. Not all of them beg, whine or annoy 3. No we don't need to teach them a lesson just because they're new (if they're being rude then yes) Asides from that, good story.

I have all sets and I think it is quite worth it. Also, Void seems to increase ranged by 17.5% rather than the 10% we are told. And it looks cool!

Your formula seems rather strange, I can't see why Jagex would have added an invisible level boost, but I guess we can try it. Also, what do you mean by zero range? How do you get level 0? I think the best thing to do would be to use SQL to make a database of all proven in-game hits, and them make a PHP script to run our current max hit formulas against them to see if they work. That'll allow us to easily change the formula without worrying about having broken something else. I can possibly make the formula a web interface too... only simple way I can think of to do that is to use eval() which is a security risk so maybe not. I guess I could at least allow the constants and a few other things to be changed. Also, we will need ALL inputs for this to work. For example, we cannot post "Max hit with bronze arrows is 5". We must post data in THIS format: Max hit: 19 Level: 99/99* Style: Rapid Bonus: 49 (Rune arrows)~ Prayer: None Special: None Multiplier: None * Basically, in RuneScape your levels usually show as 99/99. 50/50, 77/77, etc. If you drink a ranged potion you get 112/99. So you would post 112/99. In my formula and opinion it hardly matters whether it's 112/99 or 112 only, but post both anyways please. ~ Also if you want to put your weapon type in parenthesis after the bonus, that's fine... because remember we still need to factor in enchanted bolt special attacks! So MAKE SURE to note if your attack with a bolt was a special attack! Just write SPECIAL after the weapon type. Example: Bonus: 105 (Diamond bolts SPECIAL) I'm going for a dentist appointment now, and then probably to the British embassy, so all this won't come until later, but I think something like this is essential for formula research.

Easter's coming up, so you can get your emote soon! I'm actually missing the Sandwich Shop song now too, I forgot about that. ^_^ Also, I'm updating my list as we go along just so you guys know.

Forgot about those, thanks. I'd definitely consider those requirements.

AWESOME idea! This should definitely be put in the game, although I think a level 99 requirement would be better. Make them work to the very maximum.

A lot of people may consider all 99 skills to be "completing" the game. But to me there is much more than that. I'd like to discuss what you think merits "completion" of RuneScape. Here's my list so far: Also, mark in red what you've completed. Blue what you have partially completed. Black which you have no progress on. What I consider to be required to complete the game: All 99 skills All minigame ranks maxed All quests completed All achievement diaries completed All emotes unlocked All music unlocked - only missing Sandwich Shop... why is it you only get random events when you DON'T want to?! :lol: Champions' Challenge completed White Knights' Master rank All highest ranks in Barbarian Assault Possess all Beacon Network rewards Possess enough Castle Wars tickets to buy the highest level equipment (or all at once, not sure yet) Possess all Chompy bird hats Possess all Circus items Possess all Pest Control items <--- I need the mace but don't really want it right now Completed Rogues Trader miniquest Possess all Great Orb project clothing rewards Possess Lumberjack outfit Possess all Trouble Brewing outfits Completed Barbarian Training Completed Bar Crawl (automatic if you've done all quests) Unlocked all Balloon Routes Completed Ghostly Robes miniquest Completed Hunt for Surok Completed Knight Waves Completed Mage Arena (all 3 spells) Completed Shadow Sword miniquest Completed Tarn's Lair Unlocked the Abyss Unlocked Mogres Completed Varrock Museum Completed Wizard Burial Possess Builder's outfit Possess Pilot's outfit Possess all Treasure Trail items Burn 500 Vyrewatch Unlock Slayer Helmet Unlock Slayer Rings Unlock Broad Bolts Gotten a Fire Cape What I do NOT consider to be required to complete the game: 200 million XP in all skills Holiday items of any sort Any amount of coins or other currency Buyable items (e.g. items you can just get off the G.E. without any requirements)

I'd like you to explain the variables, please. Also, as long as level is greater than or equal to 1, the ceil function ensures your max hit is at least 1. A max hit of 0.1 becomes 1.

If you select the Accurate attack style on both of the situations you provided, you'll find that the maxes are correct. ;) Also, I can only get the calculator to show an 86 max hit in Castle Wars with AGS, although I know a 92 is possible. Any ideas why? The bracelet definitely IS 20%, because I know Ice barrage hits 36 with it. And changing the constants enough to make it a 92 hit would seem to throw off everything else.

Question... for Ranged, Void seems to increase 17.5%, is the 10% accurate for MELEE, though? Or is that wrong as well? Also, I added the Hamstring special attack to the Ranged calculator, and the Smash and Feint special attacks to the Melee one. The Void calculation value on the Ranged calculator has been changed from 10% to 17.5%. And... the Stone of Jas has been added as a strength boosting option. :) Also, I saw a request to add Geyser titan. Is this a VISIBLE boost? E.G. at level 99 ranged, you'll see 102/99 on your equip screen? If so, I'll add it in with the potions ASAP. Also, to the above poster... that's a 169 strength bonus, not 121! Sorry I didn't even realize it myself until just now. I just read "+121" and didn't think about the Godsword alone being +132. Anyways, I suggest you provide the calculator with the correct inputs this time. ;)

No, that one seems right to me... unless you can prove a higher hit? Void is very strange. Thanks for the data, the fact that the diamond bolt special effect increases damage is a big help. Do you know if it seems to be a percentage increase or a set amount? For example, is it +5 damage, or +12.5% or so? I think that these formulas are pretty much 100% accurate when Void is not enabled. Perhaps Jagex lied and it's really 17.5%, or something like that? I tried putting 17.5% and it seems to work better... I'll incorporate it into the calculator when I get a chance and let you choose between the 10% and 17.5%. I'll look at the RS KB page for bolt special attacks. Please let me know any information you or other posters do, on how much the special attacks increase your max hit and under what conditions. I think so far we can establish a couple of things: Void seems to increase by around 17.5% rather than 10%. Enchanted diamond bolts' special seems to add 12.5% to damage. --- Things you can do to help! [*:15s9aj0a]Tell me the maximum hits for ranged and/or melee you have observed under certain conditions - and please provide as much info as possible! [*:15s9aj0a]Tell me which enchanted bolts' special attacks increase max hit and by how much. [*:15s9aj0a]Tell me your natural max hits with NO equipment, prayers, potions, strength bonus or anything of the sort; also make sure to punch, not kick! This can help in optimizing the second constant of the formula. [*:15s9aj0a]Let me know if it is in fact possible to hit a 12 using kick (I don't think it is, I tried), at 99 strength - again, no potions, prayers, strength bonus, etc.

What are you saying...? Not counting void and specials the melee max hit equation and the ranged max hit equation are the same A 99 ranger with a +100 strength weapon will hit the same as a meleer with 99 strength and +100 strength bonus. The boosting prayers apply as well. As do potions (ranged potion is equivalent to a regular strength potion) Yes that is how I engineered the formulas. Are you saying you agree with this, or disagree?

What are you saying...?

Shush you! We're talking about Easter rewards and scenario, not holidays. Contribute or take your bitterness to your own thread! I am also talking about the scenario and rewards. Scenario: have no event. Rewards: more time to do useful things in RuneScape. You can eat chocolate in real life instead, and get ill, while I eat a delicious dinner of Russian cabbage soup or whatever else I eat the rest of the 364 days of the year, and feel fine afterward.

If anyone can test the accuracy of the melee max hit calculator, please do show your results! Also, if there is anything that you think should be added to the calculator, please ask. I will be adding an equipper similar to Tip.It's sometime.

I hate holiday events. They need to delete them, and all the previous rewards - or just make a shop that sells 'em. Or make a holiday plane which allows you to play all the events any time of the year. "Holiday events" need to be completely re-engineered, they have been problems from the start.
