Maximum ranged hit

Maximum ranged hit is a term used to describe the highest amount of damage rangers can inflict. Currently the maximum ranged hit is 110 in PvM. In PvP, the max hit is ~79 with dragonstone dragon bolts (e) and max ranged damage gear.

Maximum hit conditions

Weapon: Zaryte crossbow
Ammunition: Ruby bolts (e)
Opponent: Corporeal Beast
Armour: None
Other: Corporeal beast must be at full health.

As the Corporeal beast has 2,000 hitpoints, in theory Ruby bolts (e) would be capable of hitting a 400, when it has taken no damage. However, this effect has been capped at a maximum of 100; if a Zaryte crossbow is used, the damage cap is increased to 110 upon activation.

Note that the max hit with ruby bolts (e) is a special effect of the bolts unaffected by equipment bonuses and Ranged level.

The maximum total theoretical damage from one ranged attack is 473, achievable by using the Dragon crossbow special attack on accurate with a Slayer helm (i), damaging 9 monsters on-task, dealing 67 damage to the primary target and 44 to the other 8.

Calculating your maximum ranged hit

Step one: Calculate the effective ranged strength

${\text{Effective Ranged Strength }}={\Bigg \lfloor }{\bigg (}{\Big \lfloor }{\big (}{\text{Ranged Level}}+{\text{Boost}}{\big )}*{\text{Prayer Bonus}}{\Big \rfloor }+{\text{Atk Style}}+8{\bigg )}*{\text{Void Modifier}}{\Bigg \rfloor }$

If you are using the accurate attack style Atk Style is 3 while all other styles are 0.

Void Modifier is 1 if not wearing void, 1.1 if wearing full ranged void, or 1.125 if wearing full elite ranged void.

Ranged Level boost:

Step two: Calculate the maximum hit

${\text{Maximum Hit}}=\left\lfloor \left\lfloor 0.5+{\frac {{\text{Effective Ranged Strength}}*({\text{Equipment Ranged Strength}}+64)}{640}}\right\rfloor *{\text{Gear Bonus}}\right\rfloor$

The maximum hit is the largest hit you can possibly do with the current setup. It can be tested by using the Combat dummy in a Player-owned house.

The Equipment Ranged Strength can be found in the Equipment Stats window under 'Other bonuses'.

If slaying monsters on task while wearing a Black mask (i) or Slayer helm (i), the gear bonus is 1.15.

If killing Undead monsters while wearing a Salve amulet (i) or Salve amulet (ei), the gear bonus is 7/6 (1.167) or 1.2 respectively.

Note that these two bonuses DO NOT stack.

In the wilderness, Craw's bow and Webweaver bow give a gear bonus of 1.5. This bonus stacks additively with a Black mask(i) or Slayer helm (i), for a total of 1.65, and multiplicatively with the Salve amulet (i) or (ei).

Twisted bow damage modifier is also included in the gear bonus and does stack with slayer/salve (multiply by both modifiers). However, the tbow modifier is less straightforward to calculate as it is not constant: see its page here to calculate it based on your opponent.

Step three: Calculate the bonus damage

${\text{Max Hit}}={\big \lfloor }{\text{Base Damage}}\times {\text{Special Bonus}}{\big \rfloor }$

The following special attack/effect bonuses apply, bolts only apply when the special effect activates:

Attack/Effect	Multiplier
Special attacks
Dark bow (dragon arrows)	1.5
Dark bow (other arrows)	1.3
Zaryte crossbow (enchanted bolts)	1.1
Bolts' Special effects
Diamond bolts (e)	1.15
Dragonstone bolts (e)	1.45
Onyx bolts (e)	1.15
Opal bolts (e)	1.25
