Combat as a percent of total XP - now with data and charts!

[swampjedi]

I had a thought while discussing a topic on the Rants forum. What, I wondered, is the normal distribution of a players experience (and thus their time)? That is, how much xp and levels do you have in total, and how much of that is combat?

 

 

 

So, I came up with a little metric - not very accurate, but quite telling.

 

 

 

1) Find your total XP

 

2) Find your total combat XP (range hp magic attack defense strength prayer)

 

3) Divide 2 by 1

 

 

 

Here's an example, using my stats.

 

1) 45,062,230

 

2) 9,938,556

 

3) .2205 - 22%

 

 

 

I'm a skiller, so I'm sure this 22% is low.

 

 

 

Anyone else care to post? I'd love to get an idea of the average, even if we only have a few samples.

1) 24,806,788

 

2) 8889367

 

2i) wouldn't slayer also count as a combat skill? or is slayer for us total lvlers?

 

3) 0.3583= 35.8% i'm also a skill totaller.

[Narccius]

total exp : 14,309,692

 

 

 

Combat exp : 5,416,913

 

 

 

= 38%

[swampjedi]

I thought about slayer, but really slayer doesn't count. If you think about it, it's already counted in HP and in your combat xp. No need to count something twice.

6,248,539

 

0.4824.. (48%)

 

 

 

:roll:

[LordSoultar]

1. 31,826,194

 

2. 10,808,976

 

3. 33.9%

[MPM]

1: 28,170,972

 

2: 3149758

 

3: .118

 

 

 

So, 11%... That number is way too high for me. Use to be below 6%.

[You_Lose_Now]

1. 32,288,498

 

2. 17,448,667

 

3. 0.54

 

 

 

O wow 54% :oops:

[swampjedi]

Misplaced, I think something's wrong. From how I look at it, 11% of you total xp is NOT combat.

[Rebdragon]

Wow, interesting topic, and for once its original :D .

 

 

 

K, heres my calculations (That 85 Mage is guna kill me):

 

 

 

Total: 16,586,999

 

Combat: 6,657,360

 

Percentage: 40.136%

 

 

 

Not to bad, but its a little high.

 

I also noticed that the fletch/alch skills (Magic, Fletch, Wc) account for half of my total experience :shock: .

[sykoknight]

total xp - 60,740,163

 

Combat xp - 40310073

 

 

 

65.3% :lol:

 

 

 

 

 

I wonder what mine woulda been back in rsc, because since rs2 came out, my main focus was skills, not combat since they ruined pking.

 

 

 

when rs2 was releasedi was 100 combat with around 1150 skill total

 

Now im 116 combat (mainly due to slayer) with 1616 skill total

 

 

 

Combat is my least focused on area since the release of rs2 :lol:

[Ard_Choille]

Here's another percentage for your list:

 

 

 

1: 23,471,921

 

2: 9,814,897

 

3: 41.82%

[fmv_hero]

1) 6,623,683

 

2) 3,387,216

 

3) .51

 

 

 

 

 

ooohhh

[gonzlar]

2:6277175

 

3:40.3%

 

 

 

Woot. Hp level and combat leveled while i posted :)

[biggy08755]

I am like 60% combat. Using runescript you can get it your percentage in IRC

[swampjedi]

I could easily do a PHP script to calculate this, but...

 

 

 

Looks like 40-45% is about average so far?

[VOV]

107,000,000 Total.

 

 

 

84,500,000 Combat.

 

 

 

78.97% of my XP comes from combat :oops:

[CampbellMC]

well i use a bot that does it for me:

 

 

 

64.02%

[MPM]

Misplaced, I think something's wrong. From how I look at it, 11% of you total xp is NOT combat.

 

 

 

Nope, its right. I have 28 mil total exp, and ony 3 mil combat exp.

[Huge Noob]

Total Exp: 53,460,184

 

 

 

Combat Exp: 30,463,926

 

 

 

.56. :? That doesn't seem right. I always thought 1628 Skill Total was good for a level 110. :x

[swampjedi]

Misplaced - I thought so. You put noncombat xp as combat xp. :P

[desipardesi]

total xp: 88,842,262

 

combat skills: 40,335,911

 

 

 

--> 45.4% combat xp.

[sky30]

1) 68,475,820

 

2) 42,536,032

 

3) 62.12%

 

 

 

Kind of suprising that it was that much. I personally don't know if I would include magic, since almost all of my entire magic xp came from non-combat spells and I don't use it for combat.

[swampjedi]

Same here - but it gives you combat levels (or can), so I included it.
