Surely we can recreate that image from the update post, if not implement it into a table? --dDbvitC.png Scuzzy Beta hib8CAd.png 18:35, April 21, 2017 (UTC)

Combat style boost for longrange

[edit source]

The combat style boost for long range is wrong since it say that it add 2 tiles to the max range. All combat style of the Twisted Bow have 10 tiles of range no matter what. According to previous section in the wiki, there is no boost for long range.

That part uses a template which is standard for all bows, so it's not an error on this page exclusively. The template could be tweaked though, for bows where it gives no or restricted benefit. --Julia talk 11:18, August 9, 2018 (UTC)

Max Hit

[edit source]

Current max hit calculation places the max hit outside of CoX at 83, but I believe it should be 86. I was able to get a result of 83 using Rapid mode, but Accurate increases the damage by 3, to 86. Before I edit the page, can anyone else walk through the calculation and confirm?

I've gone ahead and changed the article after confirming I get the same result on both OldSchoolTools' calculator and Bitterkoekje's sheet. CoX max hit may still be incorrect but I haven't had the opportunity to calculate it yet.

Llemon (talk) 16:31, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

The numbers should be correct, although I did slightly reword it just because rapid is much more relevant than accurate; in almost every scenario, 83 is the maximum you can expect to hit. --Julia talk 17:03, 9 May 2021 (UTC)

Unless I'm mistaken, the max hit seems to take into account super ranging potions which are only available in NMZ. If the purpose of the section is to show max hit under typical circumstances, wouldn't it be better to list the max hit with a standard ranging potion (79 on rapid, 81 on accurate)? Zhudac (talk) 12:53, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I believe you are correct; the off-task number was off according to the calculator. I've corrected it. --julia talk 13:23, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

the median is that most people get a drop at 2/3 the droprate so shouldnt every droprate on the wiki be changed to 2/3 of what it actually is because thats what happens in practice?
—Submitted via Article feedback

I think what you're thinking of is that half of the people get the drop within ln(2) ~ 69.3% of the drop rate. But we display the probability of getting the drop, not the median number of kills needed to get the drop. What you're suggesting doesn't really make sense mathematically. ʞooɔ 19:58, 1 August 2025 (UTC)
