Calculators Help

Having problems figuring out how to use the RSTools calculators? Hopefully this document will help.

Basic Usage:

Select the calculator for the skill you want to know about
Enter your current experience points for the skill in the "XP" textbox
If the level you are wanting to calculate up to is one higher than your current level, leave the "Target Level" textbox blank. If you are wanting information on reaching a high level, manually enter that level in the "Target Level" textbox.
Depending on the calculator you selected, you will have one of two options:
- Click the calculate button
- Use the drop-down menu(s) to specify what part of a skill you intend on working on.

Using the HiScore Lookup Feature:

If you would like to fill in the "XP" textbox with the value from the RuneScape HiScore database do the following:

Instead of entering your experience points manually, click the "Get" button
Now you should see a new section of the calculator. It contains a red close button, a "Username" textbox, and a "Get HiScore" button.
If you want to close the new section without fetching your high score, click the red close button. Otherwise, enter your RuneScape® username in the "Username" textbox.
Click the "Get HiScore" button.
The status bar of the Calculators window should now read "Fetching Hi Score info..."
After the Calculators dialog has contacted the the HiScore database, the HiScore section of the calculators will automatically close and the experience points listed in the HiScore database will now be in the "XP" textbox.

Showing only F2P Items:

If you are not a member and prefer not to see members-only items (items beginning with "*"), click the "Show only F2P items" checkbox.

This feature is only available while in non members-only calculators.

The Combat Calculator:

This seems a good place to introduce the Combat Calculator recently added into RSTools. The combat calculator itself is fairly simple. All you do is fill in each box corresponding to the level it represents and click the "Calculate" button. As with all the other calculators, you can also use the HiScore lookup feature to fill in the gaps.

NOTE: It is best to calculate only one higher than your current combat level. Though it is possible to calculate higher, the higher the gap between your target level and your current level, the less is shown. For example, if you put in a low enough level and calculate what it will take to get to lv 126, chances are nothing will show up. This is because of the way the calculator calculates the results. It calculates on a per-skill basis. This means that it calculates how much of each item and only that item you will need to get to that level. However, if a certain skill has to surpass level 99 to reach the given level, it will not be shown. So, if you're level 2 attack and you need 98 atack levels to get to your target level, the calculator will ignore that value because level 100 attack is not possible in RuneScape. So, the further your target level from your current level, the less the calculator will show.

FAQ:

Q1:	What does it mean when an item begins with "*"?
A1:	An asterisk before the name of an item indicates that it is a members-only item.
