FAQs
1. How accurate are OSRS DPS calculators?
DPS calculators provide theoretical estimates accurate to in-game mechanics, but actual combat results may vary due to random number generation. They're based on game formulas revealed by Jagex and player testing, typically within 1-2% accuracy of real combat data.
2. Does the calculator consider special attacks?
Most basic calculators don't factor in special attacks. Advanced versions may include toggle options for weapon specials. Special attacks require separate calculations due to their unique effects and energy costs.
