Unbelievable results, one of the best weapons in OSRS cost just 3k. Full results for every weapon at every boss • Exact DPS calculator r... OSRS 2023 Old School Runescape 2007 Oldskool
If I could have only one, it’d be the fang. It’s highly versatile and relatively affordable when compared to other options on the list. Despite not being BIS for everything, it is adequate for nearly every encounter.
The best weapon in the game accounting for price is blowpipe. 3.5mil and scales are pretty cheap too. Fang is first item to really challenge it in affordable power creep. I suspect in a couple years though when TOA turns into a COX where it is only farmed for one item…the fang will rise in value.
Even post nerf the fang is incredible. I just bought it because i was struggling on a rune dragons task with a zammy hasta and holy crap. went from 2-3 kill trips to 8-9 kill trips no prob. The thing is a beast and it blows my mind how cheap it is. I can't even imagine this thing pre-nerf
I was lucky enough to get a fang on 10kc and it was so wild. I would run fang only barrows and kill them so fast I could leave before the prayer drain almost every time without max melee stats
Pre nerf the thing was even more incredible. What made Jagex nerf it was the outrage it created by being the best weapon at many bosses including Nightmare, Nex, and etc. At the time it was 180m and rising until they nerfed the defense re-roll which Jagex called a “mistake”.
Very useful video. For the level of calculations you completed I feel you could make more videos of these calcs alone. E.g weapon dps: providing information on the top 5 weapons for all cox demi/main bosses etc and different areas. Good video mate
Would be interestinh to see a version of this for people looking into gear progression and rebuilds. This comparison assumes max, or near max, gear. If a person watches this looking at what to possibly rebuild with, they may end up buying a scythe or shadow over a tbow without realizing how other gear factors in. Would be an interesting video to see dps comparisons for the top 5 in different gear tiers. Would also be nice to see certain utility aspects mentioned. Yes, raw dps on harm is high, but you lose the ability to use other spellsbooks. Especially arceuus for thralls/death charge, or ancients for free heals. And specs are so strong that lightbearer is bis over even new dt2 rings at many places, so some weapons have their value increased because of how good their specs are. A lot of factors in this game, and considering everything would be difficult, but could be interesting to see a more in-depth video with new criteria.
Cool vid! I have a t bow, t shadow and fang of course! Gotta have a big bank though! Flipping is they way to go or else ... Sweat haha! Thanks for sharing! Cool info!
The dps includes specs, but I agree that the ZCB spec can be used at many bosses before switching back to your main weapon and that would increase your dps.
It was just the main dps mate for this vid, but obv the ZCB spec is very useful. I think it was Behe that showed someone maxing range in record time with the ZCB using spec transfer against zebak.
@@LilratbagsOsrs if you are doing one of these vid for spec weapons may i also mention the accursed scepter, it is a range DWH 10% more accurate and also lowers magic lvls, meaning it boosts the shadow even further
I really hate to keep doing this to you because I really don’t want to criticize your content or discount your hard work running these calcs. However, whatever calc you used is not correct. I ran all of the calcs using typical setups for zammy and sarachnis since the numbers seemed to be off and they were. More specifically your fang calcs we’re about 10-15% higher than the ones I got using the generally accepted bitter/koeke calculator spreadsheet. Now I don’t know the exact gear you might have put in but as a small example mace is better than fang at sarachnis by 5-5.5%. Again I really hate to keep doing this I just don’t want misinformation to spread. Keep up the good work though. ❤
That's absolutely fine mate, the fang I tested against the rapier because I also found the dps calculators to be wrong lol. I actually tested the fang against the rapier so I knew the exact difference at various bosses and the used that to work out other bosses. The reality is the dps calculators are amazing but a 5% discrepancy doesn't surprise me, since their formulas are not 100% perfect but outside of spending 2-3 hours using every weapon at every boss, it's as accurate as we currently have. I used BIS gear and compared the 2 best calculators to each other, amended a few bosses defences that had no stats for some reason and manually ran checks for certain weapons like the tum shadow and fang. If you watch my rapier vs fang video you will see exactly how much the fang is better at certain bosses, but in the dps calculators some of them have the rapier ahead. I think that is just because the mechanics of those two weapons (fang and shadow) are unique, so the calculators aren't perfect which is why I had to amend those.
@@LilratbagsOsrs yeah like I mentioned the bitter/koeke calculator spreadsheet is the most widely accepted for meta dps calcs. You should be able to find it and make a copy. But like I said I don’t want to discredit the work you put in and I know you’ve been over this stuff quite a bit. But I run calcs constantly for people to find the best methods with a given budget. It’s one of my favorite things to do actually. So I apologize but I tend to notice if things are slightly off. Don’t let me discourage you though you’re still doing good work and producing helpful content I’m just a nit picky high level pvmer lol.
For melee you got rapier and dhlance (stab), blade of saledor(slash), bludgeon, inquisiters mace(crush), d haly for stacking aoes and the fang for high deffence moster. For ranged you got blowpipe, cannon, or t bow. (Cross bow gives probably less slayer xp than melee in most cenarios). If you wanna use magic for slayer you wanna use ancients of course with a kodai wand or a nightmare staff. T shadow has a very high dps for 1 to 1 so it is also very good for some tasks(ex:gargoyles if you dont skip em).
@@andrewhenderson6544 well these are the best option for general slayer in my opinion. Nothing degradeble.... How do you want to to train range without any charges or amo? You want to know what are the best cheap items? Whip, d c bow with broad bolts and ancient staff...
There is no such thing as a non-degradeable magic or range weapon except for corrupted bowfa, but the bowfa isn’t very good without crystal armor (which degrades). They all use some form of “charges”. So melee would have the only actual non-degradable general slayer weapon(s).
Kinda hard to put just a singular weapon for each type, Fang is a good overall choice for melee, Dragon hunter crossbow has marginally more stats than a dragon crossbow, isn't niche like the twisted bow, and is obviously even better against dragons than the Armadyl/Zaryte crossbow. Harmonised staff for mage.
I don't think black Chins are technically bis at Kree beacuse of set up time between setting up the melee and the mager after the melee dies. Shadow with a sceptre spec is better actual dps. I think kq might be questionable as well. Shadow is also bis at Zulrah green and red phase, Muspah melee phase.
With the chins I kinda agree but you can also use another weapon after the melee minion dies. But this is the issue with dps calculators, they are a very good guide but can never factor in all these small details like you say and game knowledge is also important. There was a similar result with alchemical hydra and the dps calculators rating melee better than range, but realistically you move to much for melee apart from the final part. However I couldn't alter the numbers so just had to put a note on it. Zulrah I just did the dps against what colour a weapon was best against. The three weapons I ran the most checks on were the arclight, fang and shadow because I'm not completely confident in the results either, due to their unique mechanisms so I appreciate the feedback.
@@LilratbagsOsrs Yeah that's true. Kree'arra is a tough one. Chins + tbow is really good. But also shadow with sceptre spec is probably close behind if not better than straight tbow. It also leaves room for more supplies which lead to longer trips. So dps across the time span of multiple trips, shadow with sceptre probably overtakes. But that's kind of picking at the weeds. Haba
The layout for this video really sucks. I can't follow anything and most of the time I have no idea what your talking about. Probably just a "me" thing
