DPS in RS3 (NEW: Calculator!) (2024)

Single wep: WeaponDamage*SpeedMod + DamageBoost

2h weapon: WeaponDamage*SpeedMod + 1.5*DamageBoost

Dual wield: MainhandWeaponDamage*SpeedMod + OffhandWeaponDamage*SpeedMod + 1.5*DamageBoost

WeaponDamage is the displayed damage stat on your weapon when you hover over it.

For ammunition-using weapons with a displayed damage stat, use only the damage stat on the ammo and ignore the damage stat on the weapon.

All ammunition has an effective speed of "Fastest" for calculating damage.

For spells, the damage is 9.6*EffectiveSpellLevel (*1.5 if using staff). See below for an explanation of EffectiveSpellLevel.

SpeedMod is equal to:

-> 1 for weapon speed "Fastest"

-> 0.7875 for weapon speed "Fast"

-> 0.65 for weapon speed "Average"

DamageBoost is your current Strength/Range/Magic level (includes boosts or debuffs to your skill level) plus the sum of damage boosts from equipped armour of the same combat style as your weapon.

EffectiveSpellLevel is the minimum between your magic weapon level and the level cap of your spell. Level caps of spells are:

Air: 16 Strike - 40 Bolt - 62 Blast - 80 Wave - 90 Surge

Water: 22 Strike - 45 Bolt - 64 Blast - 80 Wave - 90 Surge

Earth: 28 Strike - 52 Bolt - 69 Blast - 80 Wave - 90 Surge

Fire: 34 Strike - 58 Bolt - 74 Blast - 80 Wave - 90 Surge

Smoke: 60 Rush - 73 Burst - 80 Blitz - 90 Barrage

Shadow: 63 Rush - 75 Burst - 80 Blitz - 90 Barrage

Blood: 67 Rush - 79 Burst - 90 Blitz - 90 Barrage

Ice: 69 Rush - 80 Burst - 90 Blitz - 90 Barrage

Magic dart: 65

Divine storm: 70

Note that due to this, magic damage is capped at level 90 in dungeoneering even with a lv99 weapon, while melee and range are not capped.

Assuming lv99 stats, 100% accuracy, no potions, no prayers:

Lv80 weapons are 12.5% more damage than lv70 weapons.

Lv90 weapons are 24.9% more damage than lv70 weapons.

Lv90 weapons are 11.1% more damage than lv80 weapons.

Dual drygores are 6.4% more damage than Dry mainhand Enhanced Excalibur offhand

Dual drygores are 3.4% more damage than Dry mainhand Chaotic offhand

Dual drygores are 7.1% more damage than Chaotic mainhand Dry offhand

Virtus wand + Seismic singularity is 3.7% more damage than Dual Virtus

Assuming 100% accuracy, no potions, no prayers:

Barrows weapons are 3.9% more damage with 99 Str than 70 Str

Chaotics are 2.2% more damage with 99 Str than 80 Str

Drygores are 0.9% more damage with 99 Str than 90 Str

Assuming level 99 stats, 100% accuracy, no prayers:

Lv80 weapons are 13.5% more damage with Super potions than with no potion

Lv80 weapons are 17.6% more damage with Extreme potions than with no potion

Lv80 weapons are 3.7% more damage with Extreme potions than with Super potions

Lv90 weapons are 12.1% more damage with Super potions than with no potion

Lv90 weapons are 15.9% more damage with Extreme potions than with no potion

Lv90 weapons are 3.3% more damage with Extreme potions than with Super potions

Assuming level 99 stats, no potions, no prayers:

Lv80 weapons are 7.4% more damage with Lv70 power armour than with no power armour

Lv80 weapons are 8.5% more damage with Lv80 power armour than with no power armour

Lv80 weapons are 1.01% more damage with Lv80 power armour than with Lv70 power armour

Assuming 10 hour degrade, you need to make 19m gp per hour to justify using Lv80 power armour instead of Lv70 power armour for dps.

Assuming level 99 stats, Extreme potions, and Turmoil:

Lv90 weapons are 6.7% more damage with Lv80 power armour than with no power armour

Lv90 weapons are 7.6% more damage with Lv90 power armour than with no power armour

Lv90 weapons are 0.85% more damage with Lv90 power armour than with Lv80 power armour

I have no clue how fast lv90 power armour degrades.

At lv99 Str with no potions/prayers/power armour:

Drygore Longsword/Rapier is 0.394% more damage than Drygore Mace

At lv99 Str with extremes/turmoil/Lv70 power armour"

Drygore Longsword/Rapier is 0.327% more damage than Drygore Mace
