Thai_tong Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 To whoever said that talk on runecrafting is not important. It IS important that we talk about better way to runecraft because if rc is more than 72k/hr then lamps can be used on agility which means you don't max rc from slaying/assist.And if its better to use lamps on slayer well then...

Jebrim Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Quote tree:[hide]For reference, the way to calculate is to sum up the rates for each half hour, and divide by the total number of them, since each rate is for the same time period.This gives (2.7+2.55+2.4+2.25+2.1+2+1.9+1.8+1.7+1.6+1.5+1.45+1.4+1.35+1.3+1.25+1.2+1.175+1.15+1.125)/20=1.695.Yeh or you could find the exact by doing thishttp://[Censored - Don't use a URL shortner]/fdf4jWinb4 math nerdExcept that's not right. Since the bonus rate changes every half hour exactly, simply averaging them suffices. If the rate changed continuously based on some function, then, yes, the integral would be the exact value but in this case it does not change continuously, so not only is that integral overkill, it's wrong.http://[Censored - Don't use a URL shortner]/i41GocScroll to the middle of the page of this and click on the picture Goodfight1.) That page is for the March 2010 Bonus XP weekend.2.) If you had read the article for that weekend, you would know how, although that formula was supposed to work, in practice it failed and gave different xp rates for that weekend.3.) All of my numbers are from the devblog for the March 2011 event which, unless jagex is pulling a big switcheroo on us again, are the values that will be used for the event.I know the first bonus xp weekend failed because it went to 1.1x in 7 hours. Just because Jagex failed on that part doesn't mean that the function itself is flawed. And there is a good chance that they are just approximating the numbers for the recent blog and in reality still sticking to the same formula. Both of our calculations came out to about 1.7x, which is too small of a difference to make it a flawed function (such as the 3 hour flaw that occurred on the original). Again, Jagex messed up implementing the function, not the function itself and I believe that the function is still correct. We can agree to disagree I guess since I really don't want to spam up this thread with math about bonus xp weekend lol sorry guys for all this spam didn't know someone was going to go devil's advocate on me >.<[/hide]I actually paid attention to individual Xp gains over the previous weekend during various Xp modifiers. Every time the modifier changed every half an hour, the Xp gained also changed. It did not change at all during any 30min period, but rather in steps every 30mins when the modifier dropped. The actual Xp only dropped at that point, never at any other. You can try to agree to disagree all you want, but it won't change the evidence lol.

Aribiterspar Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Alright he are my predictions in more detail. Optimal Task List: Do:Bloodvelds Dark beasts Black demons Ice strykewyrms Hellhounds Aberrant spectres Dagannoth Black dragons Suqahs Steel dragons TzHaar (Jad) Iron dragons Mithril dragons Cancel:Terror dogs Dust devils Warped tortoises Blue dragons Waterfiends Fire giants Gargoyles Kalphites Skeletal wyverns Greater demons Jungle strykewyrms Blocked:Nechryaels Desert strykewyrms Living rock creatures Aquanites Abyssal demons Spiritual mages This takes in to account charm rates, Effigy rates, slayer xp, kills per hour, and frequency of assignment. Based upon Viv's frequency my model predicts that over 185m slayer xp if you use effigies on anything but slayer, you should expected: Total Summon Xp: 168,614,094.75 (330,762 greens, 172,464 crims, and 54,249 blues)Total Prayer Xp: 23,697,966 (Bone crusher for all bones, and Infernal Urns for all ashes)Total Effigies: 2,031 Total Investigation xp: 22,847,601.42 Total Lamp Xp: 97,541,995.43 Total Hours Slaying: 4148.244148Average Xp/hour: 44,597.18 I am trying to figure out how to make all of my formulas work if you use effigies on slayer, but that seems to [bleep] everything up right now. That wouldn't change the task list, just total hours and xp. Thanks Xen this is exactly what I was looking for thanks for taking into account you do nt have to get 200m sum with 200m slayer. Also, is this break even or gain more slayer points? Lastly I belive it was vivs or vex's guide I forgot witch of the V's it was but said with their task list it something like +8gp/xp even if powerslaying what kinds + or - gp/xp would this task list be like.

Xensure Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 [spoiler=Task List]Alright he are my predictions in more detail.

Lastly I belive it was vivs or vex's guide I forgot witch of the V's it was but said with their task list it something like +8gp/xp even if powerslaying what kinds + or - gp/xp would this task list be like. You should go slightly positive on points, but if you have a streak of bad luck, you should just do a few terror dog and dust devil tasks. As for profit/loss I can't make any predictions about that until I know about how much you spend for each of the tasks on the "Do" list and the drop% of the valuable drops from them as well. So there are a few data points I would like from anyone in this thread who slays.1) the drop rates of any worth while items from the "Do" list (Preferably all NPCs)2) The costs of 1 full assignment of all of the "Do" list NPCs (Preferably all NPCs)3) If any of the NPCs have a dramatic shift in their kills/h4) If anyone is going to adopt my task list could you please track your assignments, because I believe that, while Viv's contribution of task frequencies w/o blocks helped a lot in finding the optimal task list, when you block tasks it changes the frequency of the other block tasks non-linearly. This means that I can't just extrapolate the frequencies in order to get expected charms, effigies, and other drops like I am currently doing. My estimates are close, but not exact so if someone could start getting the frequencies based on this exact task list I can provide much more accurate expected charms, effigies, prayer xp, and profit/loss.

Vex Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 I can give you some figures from my slayer which is basicalyl the same list without Jad & i think i did 2 blue dragon tasks. You can see if any of this info is relevant from my blog[hide] Numbers & Conclusions For ~3,600,000 Slayer XP Effigies Expected: 36Hours Expected: 90GP Expected: 75M Effigies Actual: 41Hours Actual: 96GP Actual: 75MCost Actual: 45MRapier Recharges: 280% = 5,600,000 GP (Included in Costs)Profit Actual: 30M (Not including Visage) Charms GainedBlue: 864Crimson: 3330Green: 2399Gold: 5241 Max Summoning XP gained (If I was 99) [barker Toads, Geyser Titan, Unicorn , Steel Titan for xp) ~2,950,000 Other XP Gained: Attack XP: 300,000Strength XP: 7,400,000Defence XP: 700,000 (Iron titan contribution is 400,000 (rest is controlled on whip)Constitution XP: 3,100,000Ranged XP: 2,700,000Magic XP: 1,000,000 Prayer XP: 75000 (bonecrusher)Herblore XP: 32000 (herbicide) COSTS BREAKDOWN Iron Titan Breakdown: (Xp/Scroll): 400,000 / 3450Current Scroll Cost: 363 Potential Damage contribution @ 0.4xp/lp: 1 Million Damage Defence GP/XP: - 3.15 Cannon Breakdown: Ranged Xp per Cannonball: 24xpCurrent Cannonball Cost: 288 Ranged GP/XP: - 12 Prayer Potion Contribution via Turmoil: These figures include deflect melee prayer aswell, as for 90% of tasks it is used. Prayer potions Used: 960Prayer potions per hr: 10Prayer potion cost: 6303Cost/hr: 63,000gp This is preliminary and probably wrong as it depends on prayer bonus etc. So i've just hidden it for now. Turmoil increases speed of a task by 25%? Potential Hours saved: 96 *0.25 = 24 However a Cannon and familiar are used a lot, therefore actual contribution via turmoil is reduced. Lets say it increases speed over ALL tasks by 10%. (It is probably higher than this, especially on metals/abbys) 10 Hours saved (rounded for simplicity) at a cost of 63,000 an hour. (Less than this due to deflect melee, however for now I can't separate it, or at least cba) So a cost of 630,000 gp to save 10 hours (out of 96). (Likely many more hours saved at a reduced cost) OR 63k, to save 6minutes, per task, on average (will be much more) this also doesn't take into account opportunity cost, ie potential loot yield of additional kills/hr. Potential Damage contribution note: melee will not strictly be 0.4 xp/lp due to dragons and other mobs having "0.4x" xp/lp but for the sake of this, we'll assume 0.4.Also magic hasn't been included as it is only used on one task, and it's formula will be in accurate anyway. Cannon @0.2xp/lp: 13,500,000 DamageIron Titan @ 0.4xp/lp: 1,000,000 DamageMelee @ 0.4xp/lp: 20,000,000 Damage Damage % Breakdown: 34,500,000 Damage Dealt Melee: 58%Cannon: 39%Iron Titan: 3% Damage Per Hour: 360,000 Damage Per Hour w/o Cannon: 218750 Hours taken without cannon (Total Damage required/damage rate w/o cannon): 157 157 - 96 hours = 61 Hours Cost of Cballs: 112,000 * 288 = 32,256,000 gp 61 Hours / Cost = 530,000 gp/hr So if you can earn over ~ 500k an hour, a cannon should always be used to save time. Note there are probably plenty of flaws in calculations and assumptions, but I'll admit, I am not a math person and if anyone wants to help or point out anything wrong, please let me know lol. Final Figures for this task list (over a 3.6M slayer XP sample) Cannonballs/Hr: 1150Prayer Pots/Hr: 10 Summoning Xp/Hr: 30,700Slayer Xp/Hr: 37,500Hours/Effigy: 2:20Slayer Xp/Effigy: 87,800Profit/Hr: ~ 300k Powerslaying GP/XP: 8[/hide] Bear in mind this is not at current prices - this also includes abyssal demons & whips heavily contributed to my profit/loss but the costs should at least be accurate I guess. Without abyssals though I'd expect average cannonball use to go up, Ppots should be linear, it's basically turmoil & protect melee on majority of tasks. This should be revised to around 15, but I was in pros not bandos. As for the worth of a task, I was planning on developing gp/xp figures per individual mob for slayer, but I have no idea if I can still be bothered doing that. Hopefully some of it might be of some use. http://www.[Caution! Jagex Rule Violation].com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
