In 07RS I was wondering the relative DPS (which are best) on Graardor and Zilyana for a few setups:

 

Assume 99 atk/str boosted to Avg 114. Other gear slots give +43 str and +23 slash

 

Bandos Armor + Whip/Defender

Bandos Armor + Kraken Whip/Defender (kraken whip is +8 slash +4 str over whip)

Bandos Armor + BGS

 

and the same weapon sets except this time in guthans top/bottom

I recently tried calculating this but couldn't wrap my head around it at all. For anyone interested in trying, here are some good sources of information for you to work with:

 

http://www.xp-waste.com/the-bandos-project-major-update-t72.html

 

http://www.xp-waste.com/oldschool-staking-odds-calculator-and-accuracy-formula-t3810.html

 

I'm interested in the results. Based on experience and anecdotal evidence I suspect the whip, and certainly the kraken whip, will reign supreme, but godsword being better wouldn't shock me too much.

But do these statistics prove one over the other? See, if i was any good at using those formulas I wouldnt have asked tho

They provide well tested defense rolls of Graardor as well as proven accuracy/DPS forumla for weapons, so if someone with some math skills and time to calculate it, yeah you should be able to find some definitive answers for bandos using that information relatively easily.

 

I got a job interview to go to in an hour or two, when I get back I may take another crack at this depending on how the interview goes! :P

It's algebra 1, and I know that mck has taken that :p

Except I see variables like A and D being used multiple times and get confused eg. AD/CD vs A>D if 1-(D+a)/2A and have no idea which letter correlates

 

Plus IDK zil and graars def

Gonna calc lots of different setups today but for now just max str kraken whip vs max str godsword. For reference "Max strength" means with fury and defender because true max str is impractical

 

Graardor's max slash defence roll is 639.46777770196506550218340611418

 

Tent whip (max strength) 130 slash - 134 strength

 

Max hit = 49

Average hit = 24.5

 

Effective attack level (E)
= 118 * 1.2
= 141.6
= 141

Attack roll (A)
= (E + 8) * (1 + Bonus / 64)
= (141 + 8) * (1 + 130 / 64)
= (149) * (1 + 2.01375)
= (149) * (3.01375)
= 449.04875

Accuracy
C = (A - 1) / 2(D)
C = (449.04875 - 1) / 2(639.46777770196506550218340611418)
C = 448.04875 / 2(639.46777770196506550218340611418)
C = 448.04875 / 1278.9355554039301310043668122282
C = 0.35032941895

DPS
Accuracy * Average hit / (seconds per hit)
0.35032941895* 24.5 / 2.4
DPS = 3.57627948511

 

 

Godsword (Max Strength)  153 slash - 175 strength

 

Max hit = 60

Average hit = 30

 

Effective attack level (E)
= 118 * 1.2
= 141.6
= 141

Attack roll (A)
= (E + 8) * (1 + Bonus / 64)
= (141 + 8) * (1 + 153 / 64)
= (149) * (1 + 2.390625)
= (149) * (3.390625)
= 505.203125

Accuracy
C = (A - 1) / 2(D)
C = (505.203125 - 1) / 2(639.46777770196506550218340611418)
C = 504.203125 / 2(639.46777770196506550218340611418)
C = 504.203125 / 1278.9355554039301310043668122282
C = 0.39423653746

DPS
Accuracy * Average hit / (seconds per hit)
0.39423653746 * 30 / 3.6
DPS = 3.28530447883

 

In conculsion, max strength Kraken whip is a good bit better than the godsword. It's close enough to make me curious to test the godsword stats in attack gear too though see how it changes.

 

 

Coming soon: Max attack armours (fighter hat, warrior ring) etc... Let's see what the true best gear is.

I should also mention that their stats in 07 aren't necessarily what their stats were in 2007. I'll see if I can get an answer from a developer for you though.

Thanks Hedge, I'd really appreciate that.

Attack is better with Whip and godsword! Kraken whip with attack is the ultimate thus far. I have one more test to do though. Fighter hat with zerk ring. This will be the ultimate conclusion, as it's 5 slash for 3 str, whereas the rings are 8 for 8. Hope that justification makes sense to you all.

Tent whip (Fighter hat, zerk ring) 135 slash - 131 strength

AHA!!! AS SUSPECTED!

 

Zerk ring + Fighter hat is the best. Warrior ring is not worth using.
