The combat formula is unknown except to Jagex. Many people have tried to figure it out, but have not been able to figure out a formula that is 100% accurate. However, the formula used in the signatures is one of the most accurate known.

Thank you for posting this bug however. With each error found in the combat formula, it makes the formula that much more accurate once it is fixed

maybe jagex were really high and sort of got random numbers that made us go higher when we get a level...

The formula is very complicated, it's not simple like the RS1 formula. I do believe that RuneWeb has the most accurate formula though, and I can assure you that multiple people are working hard on figuring it out.

I noticed tip.it updated their RS2 calc...I haven't really seen much difference at all in any other calc though...I think they're just behin in the times.

Working hard...? You mean, sitting there and getting stoned.

Using all 5 of their brain cells trying to find the formula.

I wanted to let people know that there is indeed a decent number of people working on the combat formula. If you're a regular visitor of the official forums, then you might have seen my threads. They were part of a project that was running for the past 8 months. I've been into it a lot, and I was able to make the formula very accurate.

My formula and the RuneWeb formula are usually off by 0.1 points. If this inaccuracy happens at the time when you're about to get a combat level, or just got one, it can affect the numbers in front of the decimal point. Combat levels in RuneScape are floored, which means that you chop off the decimals. If you would be 90.5, and a calculator says 90.6 for instance, then that 0.1 points wouldn't matter. The floored results will both show 90. However, in your case, my formula says 72.07727, while you're probably 71.97 or so. Floor that, and the difference will be one whole level. It might seem that the formula is off by a whole level, but it's not.

Most RS/Math people have been able to get the actual combat level or at most 0.5 pts near it. I have done the research, and I can tell you that it's very hard, if not impossible to get rid of those last 0.5 pts.

So, unless Jagex starts adding decimals in the highscores or something like that, it seems that we will never get the exact formula.

It's not like it can't be done.

It's a simple seven variable function, so plotting a sufficient number of points and using brute regression should do the job.

The main problem is simply that we dont have enough confirmed data points to make a proper regression, and we can't see the hidden decimals in the combat level.
