Max ranged hit calc with rigour

[lsubzero]

Hey i have 99 ranged, rigour prayer and void. It says my max hit with regular range pot is 490ish and with extremes is 520ish. But i've hit 509 with regular range pot and 545 with extremes. 0.0

Hey, thanks for your submission :)

 

I'm not really familiar with the additions to ranged of the last few years, so just to verify if I'm doing it right - you're using dragon arrows, using the dark bow's special attack, with Rigour enabled, and using either regular or extreme ranged potions?

 

If so, the calculator definitely seems to be a bit too conservative with regards to the numbers it's giving. Since Jagex hasn't given out any official max hit formulas the calculator is making educated guesses at best, so I can't promise that I can fix it to be 100% accurate. Regardless, I'll go over the code and see if anything seems to be iffy.

 

 

Edit: the calculator did use the wrong formulas to determine the boost provided by potions. I've fixed this, and as a result, the new max hit is even lower. Lol.

 

It might be possible that the dark bow spec (which adds 50% damage) and the void set bonus (which adds 20%) are multiplicative instead of additive. If they are additive, they will simply combine to add 100+50+20 = 170% damage. Should they be multiplicative, they will combine for a total of (100 * 1.5) * 1.2 = 180% damage. I've changed to calculator to use multiplicative bonuses.

 

New maximum hits are 517 with regular pots and 559 with extremes. Seems a bit on the high side, but it might be possible that you just didn't hit your maximums yet.
