Osrs Dps Calculator

Old School RuneScape (OSRS) combat requires understanding your Damage Per Second (DPS) to optimize gear, attack styles, and rotations. The OSRS DPS Calculator helps players estimate their DPS quickly and accurately, enabling efficient combat strategies in PvM, PvP, and boss fights.

OSRS DPS Calculator

Note: This calculator uses simplified OSRS formulas for demonstration and may not match in-game values exactly.


Damage Per Second (DPS) is the average damage a player deals per second in combat. It depends on:

  • Weapon type and stats
  • Attack style (melee, ranged, magic)
  • Player level and bonuses
  • Special attacks or abilities

Basic Formula for DPS: DPS=Average Hit×Hit ChanceAttack Speed (ticks)×Tick Conversion Factor\text{DPS} = \frac{\text{Average Hit} \times \text{Hit Chance}}{\text{Attack Speed (ticks)}} \times \text{Tick Conversion Factor}DPS=Attack Speed (ticks)Average Hit×Hit Chance​×Tick Conversion Factor

Where:

  • Average Hit = typical damage per attack
  • Hit Chance = probability of successfully hitting
  • Attack Speed = number of ticks between attacks (1 tick = 0.6 seconds)

Example Calculations

Example 1: Melee Combat

  • Weapon: Abyssal Whip
  • Player Strength Bonus: 85
  • Attack Speed: 4 ticks (2.4 seconds)
  • Average Hit: 25

DPS=252.4≈10.42 DPS\text{DPS} = \frac{25}{2.4} \approx 10.42 \text{ DPS}DPS=2.425​≈10.42 DPS

Example 2: Ranged Combat

  • Weapon: Rune Crossbow
  • Player Ranged Bonus: 80
  • Attack Speed: 5 ticks (3 seconds)
  • Average Hit: 20

DPS=203≈6.67 DPS\text{DPS} = \frac{20}{3} \approx 6.67 \text{ DPS}DPS=320​≈6.67 DPS

Example 3: Magic Combat

  • Spell: Fire Blast
  • Player Magic Level: 95
  • Attack Speed: 5 ticks (3 seconds)
  • Average Hit: 28

DPS=283≈9.33 DPS\text{DPS} = \frac{28}{3} \approx 9.33 \text{ DPS}DPS=328​≈9.33 DPS
