Range Data Guide

[Rigour 7]

Hey guys I’m Rigour and today I’m showing the xp rates/cost of some various weapons. Keep in mind these are 30ish minute sample sizes and I’m just doubling the cost by 2.

 

My first test was with broad bolts.

Xp/hr :  70.7k

Ammo per hour: 346 broad bolts

Ammo cost per hour: 20,414 gp/hr  (bolts are 59ea)

 

My second test was with rune arrows with magic shortbow (i). This test is skewed for more xp/hr due to me grabbing a few power orbs and speccing to see some nice double splats. I would assume this may be closer to 76k-78k xp/hr

Xp/hr: 81.1k

Ammo per hour: 672 rune arrows

Ammo cost per hour: 77,952 gp/hr (rune arrows are 116ea)

 

My third test was with the karil’s crossbow.

Xp/hr: 81.7k xp/hr

Ammo per hour: 1902

Ammo cost per hour: 129,336 gp/hr (bolt racks are 68ea)

 

My fourth test was with rune javelins using the heavy ballista. You might notice now I have a necklace of anguish which most likely increased xp/hr by a tad more. For some reason I thought I would get a lot more xp/hr during this due to a range dps calc made  back in pre-eoc saying hand cannon was right behind the rune knifes and god arrows. If anyone can link me to the google docs of the range dps calc made by “grimy bunyip” from xp-waste forums, it would be greatly appreciated.

Xp/hr:  74.2k xp/hr

Ammo per hour: 950 rune javelins

Ammo cost per hour: 123,500 gp/hr (rune javelins are 130ea)

 

My fifth test was with mithril darts using the blow pipe. As you can see im still using a necklace of anguish which most likely increased xp/hr a tad more. I calculated the cost differently on this one. Second picture just shows the scales/darts after the trip.

Xp/hr: 113.7k xp/hr

Gained xp was 76.2 xp/hr. this means I trained for 40.2 mins.

After my test was over I checked scales and darts.

Scales used: 1247 (scales are 148ea)

Darts used: 491 (darts are 67ea)

Now after running the numbers it came out to 5409.27 gp/min * 60 mins = 324,556 gp/hr.

 

My sixth test was with runite bolts. I also have gained a range lvl since doing this test so maybe 500 xp an hour more maybe?

Xp/hr: 80.0k xp/hr

Ammo per hour: 347 runite bolts (as you look at the broad bolts i put down 346 in 1 hour even though it was a 30 minute test)

Ammo cost per hour: 54,132 gp/hr (runite bolts are 156ea)

 

Now as I look back on a previous test using the ballista and rune javelins i just dont understand how I got such low xp/hr. Ballista has higher range bonus then rune crossbow & book of law, it also has 30 more range strength bonus then runite bolts, and they both attack at the same speed. Expect a new test on ballista soon.

 

I hope some people found this range data helpful. Thanks Miltz for coming in clutch and fixing my images, i really appreciate it.

Heya @@Rigour this is very nice and helpful data guide!

 

I really appreciate the time and effort you've put into this.

This will help out a lot of people now and in the future who join our forums

 

Our forums also rank pretty well so you'll even get traffic from people searching for this on Google (in time)

Very nice and interesting read!

[Rigour 7]

well thank you miltz for fixing the pictures! i might add on to this with different ammo's so please don't lock it

 

edit: next test will be with runite bolts as there fairly cheap atm and you'll be able to use the book of law for some nice prayer bonus unlike the 1 handed weapons i.e. magic shortbow, heavy ballista, blowpipe

 

double edit: after the runite bolt test im thinking about redoing the ballista test. its all around better then runite bolts and rune cross so ill just do an hour test this time.

Well I tried adding this my main post but I might have reached an image limit in that post.

 

My seventh test is a retest on the heavy ballista and rune javelins. Just found it odd that that runite bolts and rune crossbow was higher dps when the heavy balllista and rune javelins have a higher range bonus & range str bonus and they attack at the same speed. This test was for 1 hour.

Xp/hr: 74.1k

Ammo per hour: 959 (in my 30 min test i calculated using 950 an hour)

Ammo cost per hour: 124,670 (rune javelins are 130ea)

idk why this has lower dps then runite bolts even though everything on the heavy ballista is better.
