About the OSRS DPS Calculator
This calculator is an essential tool for any Old School RuneScape player looking to optimize their combat performance. By inputting your stats, gear bonuses, and opponent's details, you can accurately determine your Damage Per Second (DPS), Max Hit, and Accuracy. Use this tool to compare different gear setups and find the most effective way to defeat any monster or boss.
Formula Explained
The calculator uses the official OSRS combat formulas to determine your DPS:
- Calculate Max Hit: This is based on your effective Strength level (level + potions + prayer + style bonus) and your total melee strength bonus from gear.
- Calculate Accuracy: This compares your 'Max Attack Roll' (based on your effective Attack level and attack bonus) against the opponent's 'Max Defence Roll' (based on their Defence level and defensive bonuses).
- Calculate DPS: The final DPS is calculated with the formula: (Average Damage × Accuracy) / Weapon Speed.
How to Improve Your DPS
Maximizing your damage output is key to success. Focus on these three areas:
Increase Your Max Hit
Train your Strength level and equip gear with the highest Melee Strength bonus available to you.
Boost Your Accuracy
Train your Attack level and use weapons with high attack bonuses for the correct style (slash, stab, or crush).
Attack Faster
A faster weapon (lower weapon speed number) will always result in higher DPS, assuming other stats are equal.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is DPS in OSRS? →
DPS stands for 'Damage Per Second.' It is the average amount of damage you can expect to deal to an opponent every second, taking into account your max hit, attack speed, and accuracy. It is the single most important metric for measuring your effectiveness in combat.
How is Max Hit calculated? →
Your Max Hit is calculated based on your effective Strength level (your visible level plus boosts from potions, prayers, and attack style) and your total melee strength bonus from your gear. The formula is complex, but higher Strength levels and Strength bonuses will always result in a higher Max Hit.
What affects accuracy in OSRS? →
Your accuracy is determined by comparing your 'attack roll' against your opponent's 'defence roll.' Your attack roll is influenced by your Attack level, your gear's attack bonus for a specific style (e.g., slash, crush, stab), potions, and prayers. Your opponent's defence roll is based on their Defence level and their gear's defensive bonuses.
Does Strength level affect accuracy? →
No, your Strength level does not directly affect your accuracy. Strength only determines your Max Hit. Your accuracy is determined by your Attack level and your gear's attack bonuses. This is why it's important to balance both stats for the best overall DPS.
What is the best way to increase my DPS? →
The best way to increase your DPS is to improve all three main components: Max Hit, Accuracy, and Attack Speed. This means training your Strength and Attack levels, using the fastest weapon possible for your situation, and choosing gear that provides the best combination of Strength and Attack bonuses against your target.
