Most tears gained?

[Swiller2]

(If this belongs in another place, sorry, could a mod move it? Thanks.)

 

So while collecting my weekly stipen of exp from tears, I was wondering:

 

What is the most amount of tears collected? Ever.?

 

Also, is there a max amount you can get in one go?

 

Just curious :)

Considering you get 1 tear per tick, and for every 1 quest point you have you can stay in there for 1 tick, the theoretical maximum possible is = to the max quest points, assuming that the blue tears do not move.

the 1 tear per tick is true the 1 tick per qp is false.

It WAS 1 qp per tick aaaaaggggggges ago, but a good 2 years ago now total tog time stopped going up, instead each new quest has just made 1 qp worth less time in there.

So regardless of your qp - you get to stay in TOG for the same amount of time?

No more qp still = longer.

 

Just the max time hasn't increased in ages so every time a new quest comes out each qp is worth less time.

Like say max qp was 60 and u got 1 second per qp

Then overtime max qp reaches 120

max time would still be 60 seconds, so each qp is now only worth 1/2 second.

 

So yeah every time a new quest comes out current qp become worth fractionally less time

I once got 192 tears iirc, not sure what the record is though.

[AxiSyn]

I've had good luck and bad luck, as low as ~90 and a max of maybe ~192(I never wrote it down :wall: :wall: ) and a current noted record of 179. Not to steal the thread but anyone know how the exp is calculated?

[Sy_Accursed]

its 60xp per tear for lvl 30+

[Legionwizard]

Before the latest quest (EW 4), my record was 199. The minigame really worked along that one time.

[Swiller2]

Thanks for all the replies/thoughts. I have always wondered how exp was calculated too lol.

 

So 192 seems to be best run? I was curious, because like all things in runescape I'm sure there is a competition out there somewhere. lol

Are you absolutely positive about this? I remember this topic coming up sometime last year (with the suggestion that the max time is now capped) and I did a little research. I'm almost positive that you still get additional time for every qp.

No, it's definitely not 1 tick per QP anymore. Max QP stays in there for the same amount of time as it did a year ago.

Well, I guess I'll have to time it again. I'm doing it again in 1 day 11 hours. I've got max qp (315), and since a game tick is .6 seconds, if I'm right then I'll get 189 seconds in the cave.

 

Will post again then. Anyone else is also free to experiment in the meantime.

 

edit....

 

I'll actually try to get a video of it just to make sure.

On Rs wiki:

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Tears_of_Guthix_%28Distraction_and_Diversion%29

 

"The game relies heavily on the player's quest points. The more quest points a player has, the longer the player is able to collect tears, and therefore the more experience the player gets. The formula for the time a player has is thought to be the players Quest Points in Ticks which is 0.6 of a second, plus a certain amount of seconds which is the lowest limit (possibly 45 to 60 seconds). 43 quest points are required for the Tears of Guthix quest. A player with 291 quest points has about 3 minutes (or 180 seconds). "

 

So officially on the RS wiki site - it depends on QP but I wouldn't doubt the fact that the longest you can stay in there remains the same.

[The Observer]

The most I've ever gotten was about 170. Sadly, I'll never get near that again, even with a few quests off of a Quest cape.

[Dragonlordjl]

I know for a fact that you are still getting more time.

 

I routinely get ~160 tears at 300+ QP, and I know that that was most definitely not possible back when the max was around 240 tears. Back then, I was fortunate to get ~110 tears.

[pgmr185]

I timed it today and I got EXACTLY 189 seconds with 315 qp. That works out to be .6 seconds per qp... which is precisely what it should have been.

 

Myth busted! There is no cap. Please feel free to try it yourselves.

[Hegelstad]

My best is 141 with 221 QP before Void questline existed.

[amitoz]

I've got a pic of me getting 155 somewhere on this comp, just can't find it.

Its not a Myth that needs busting.

At this current time it is true; but after a few more quests come out it'll be 0.5 seconds per qp (at around 370qp)

 

I think its gone up by a few seconds perhaps, but it was around the 185 seconds mark years ago when I stopped really going up.

If it had of kept at the same old rate we would be in there for over 300 seconds now, as it was 1 second per qp very early on.

[Gravy]

I've had over 200, maybe 210+.

 

If I can find the pic I'll up it.

Sy, it's 1 tick per qp, not 1 sec per qp. You have no proof unlike the above poster, I'll time (With my qp cape) next time tears are open.

My proof is the masses of forum posts a few years ago when people noticed guthix tears time stopped increasing and ranted and questioned and investigated.

And the fact tht it used to be about 1 second per qp, but now is clearly down to 0.6 seconds per qp.

 

Also all the poster above proved was he went in there for 189 seconds, that does not conclusively prove max time is still increasing. It only proves that currently with 315 qp u get 189 seconds.

That might make sense, except I did the exact same experiment a year ago with max qp and only got 181 seconds.

[Sy_Accursed]

See now that is proof that is still going up.

1 timed run with no other reference wasn't.

 

I guess the max time no longer rising thing was a myth or tears just became worth less time the once to keep max time in check. (I do strongly recollect tears being worth 1 sec each once upon a time)
