Degrade times?

[Leaf]

I'm wondering about the time it takes for various items to degrade to 0 charge, while under constant combat (i.e. getting hit by attacks or attacking without pausing for more than 10 seconds at a time; therefore being unable to log out or receive a Random Event). Specifically:

 

-Barrows

-Chaotic weapons

-Chaotic shields

-Gravite equipment

-Battle/Combat robes

-Torva/Pernix/Virtus

-Zaryte bow

 

Many of these are said to take 10 hours to degrade in the Knowledge Base or by common belief. However, it seems that the degrade rate is not the same.

 

I once used a mix of Ahrim's robetop and Battle robe (legs) at Soul wars - both started at full charge, but the Ahrim's did not degrade to 75 until after the Battle robe degraded from 100 to 60.

 

At Rock Lobsters, Battle robes degrade by 20% in a little over an hour and less than 2 hours, despite the fact that I only wear it while casting, not while under constant combat.

 

Using Chaotic weapons for various things, I've found that they never degrade more than 4% in one hour, which contradicts the Knowledge base's statement:

A fully recharged chaotic weapon will last 10 hours in combat before it cannot be used. Once these charges have been used up, the weapon can be recharged, for a fee, by the rewards trader.

 

 

I believe that Barrows lasts for 15 hours, Chaotics last for 25 hours, and Battle robes last for 5 hours. If anyone has data proving the degrade rates of anything on my list, please post it.

I'm assuming by Knowledge base you mean the RS knowledge base. These are notoriously unreliable; I've always heard that barrows is 15 hours of constant combat (hypothetically, you could hit a chicken and then not attack again, and in 15 hours your armor would be gone). As for the battle robe/ahrim's, they probably DO degrade at a different rate; they are, after all, two totally different peices of equipment.

 

I'm too nooby for everything else, can't help you there.

Chaotics/Nex gear degrade at something like 30 hours divided by the number of things attacking you, I think?

 

I don't know about barrows, they degrade slowly anyway.

Wow, so CR isn't the 10 hrs the KB says?

From personal experience battlerobes seem closer to 6-8 hours.

 

I have used chaotic shield at dks where I am pretty much in constant combat. It degraded roughly 12% in an hour.

If you have 10 monsters on you it can degrade in 3 hours.
