Calculators will use Cargo data and future price endpoints to answer skilling and crafting questions. For now, calculator pages should document formulas, assumptions, required data, and validation examples. The Combat XP Calculator below is the first section built out this way — documented reference math, not a live interactive tool.
 
== Combat XP Calculator ==
{{Mechanic|mechanic_id=combat-xp-formula|name=Combat XP formula (melee and Archery)|description=Total combat-skill XP per hit equals damage dealt × 4, allocated across skills by the attacker's combat style; every hit additionally grants Stamina XP equal to damage dealt × 1.}}
 
This section documents the combat-hit XP formula precisely enough to compute XP from a known damage number and style choice — as a reference for hand calculation or a future Scribunto module, not as a live calculator on this page. All numbers below are gameplay-verified (in-game, 2026-07-08); the game's client code has no XP-per-hit data at all, so none of this comes from a datamine.
 
'''Scope:''' this formula is documented for melee and ranged (Archery) combat only. Magic combat's XP mechanism was not covered by this data and should '''not''' be assumed to follow the same rule — treat Magic combat XP as a separate open question.
 
=== Step 1: total XP per hit ===
Total combat-skill XP awarded on a hit = '''damage dealt × 4'''. This total is then allocated to one or more skills depending on the combat style, per the tables below. Confirmed by two examples: 1 damage → 4 XP total; 3 damage on a Strength-only melee style → 12 XP to Strength (3 × 4 = 12).
 
=== Step 2a: allocate by style — melee ===
Melee has four abstract combat styles. Note the caveat immediately below before applying this table.
 
{| class="sanko-table"
! Style (abstract category) !! Attack XP !! Strength XP !! Defense XP
|-
| Attack-only || 4 × damage || — || —
|-
| Strength-only || — || 4 × damage || —
|-
| Defense-only || — || — || 4 × damage
|-
| Attack + Strength (split) || 2 × damage || 2 × damage || —
|}
 
'''Open mapping caveat (blocks full melee calculation):''' the game's per-weapon combat style '''names''' — e.g. sword Stab/Lunge/Slash/Block, axe Chop/Hack/Smash/Block (see [[Combat#Weapon attack styles (stab/slash/crush)|Combat's weapon-style table]]) — are '''not yet mapped''' to which of the four abstract categories above each one actually grants. Do not assume an OSRS-style mapping (e.g. that "Stab" = Attack-only) — this has not been confirmed for SankoQuest. Until a named style is matched to a category by direct testing, melee XP can only be computed if the abstract category is already known some other way.
 
=== Step 2b: allocate by style — Ranged (Archery) ===
Ranged/Archery has three combat styles, matching the names on [[Archery#Combat Styles and XP|Archery's style table]]:
 
{| class="sanko-table"
! Style !! Archery XP !! Defense XP !! Confirmation
|-
| Accurate || 4 × damage (presumed) || — || Inferred, not directly confirmed
|-
| Rapid || 4 × damage (presumed) || — || Inferred, not directly confirmed
|-
| Longrange || 2 × damage || 2 × damage || Confirmed. Example: 1 damage → 2 Archery + 2 Defense
|}
 
Unlike melee, Archery has no separate weapon-style-name layer to resolve — Accurate/Rapid/Longrange are themselves the selectable combat styles, so no CXP7-style mapping question applies here.
 
=== Step 3: Stamina, always ===
Every combat hit — melee or Archery, any style — '''also''' grants '''Stamina XP = damage dealt × 1''', in addition to (not instead of) the skill XP from Step 2. Confirmed by two examples: 1 damage (→ 4 XP Strength) also gave 1 Stamina XP; 2 damage (→ 8 XP Strength) also gave 2 Stamina XP.
 
=== Worked examples ===
{| class="sanko-table"
! Damage !! Style !! XP breakdown !! Total XP awarded
|-
| 1 || Melee, Strength-only || 4 Strength + 1 Stamina || 5
|-
| 2 || Melee, Strength-only || 8 Strength + 2 Stamina || 10
|-
| 3 || Melee, Strength-only || 12 Strength + 3 Stamina || 15
|-
| 1 || Melee, Attack + Strength split || 2 Attack + 2 Strength + 1 Stamina || 5
|-
| 1 || Archery, Longrange || 2 Archery + 2 Defense + 1 Stamina || 5
|-
| ''d'' || Archery, Accurate or Rapid (inferred) || 4''d'' Archery + ''d'' Stamina || 5''d''
|}
 
=== What this formula does not cover ===
* Magic combat XP (not documented by this data — see Scope above).
* Max hit and hit chance — those are separately datamined; see [[Combat#Core rolls|Combat's core-rolls table]]. This section is XP allocation only.
* Which named melee style maps to which abstract category (the CXP7 caveat under Step 2a above) — this was, until now, a 100% server-side and undocumented mechanic.

Main Page / Calculators

Calculators

Calculators will use Cargo data and future price endpoints to answer skilling and crafting questions. For now, calculator pages should document formulas, assumptions, required data, and validation examples. The Combat XP Calculator below is the first section built out this way — documented reference math, not a live interactive tool.

Combat XP Calculator

Mechanic

This section documents the combat-hit XP formula precisely enough to compute XP from a known damage number and style choice — as a reference for hand calculation or a future Scribunto module, not as a live calculator on this page. All numbers below are gameplay-verified (in-game, 2026-07-08); the game's client code has no XP-per-hit data at all, so none of this comes from a datamine.

Scope: this formula is documented for melee and ranged (Archery) combat only. Magic combat's XP mechanism was not covered by this data and should not be assumed to follow the same rule — treat Magic combat XP as a separate open question.

Step 1: total XP per hit

Total combat-skill XP awarded on a hit = damage dealt × 4. This total is then allocated to one or more skills depending on the combat style, per the tables below. Confirmed by two examples: 1 damage → 4 XP total; 3 damage on a Strength-only melee style → 12 XP to Strength (3 × 4 = 12).

Step 2a: allocate by style — melee

Melee has four abstract combat styles. Note the caveat immediately below before applying this table.

Style (abstract category) Attack XP Strength XP Defense XP
Attack-only 4 × damage — —
Strength-only — 4 × damage —
Defense-only — — 4 × damage
Attack + Strength (split) 2 × damage 2 × damage —

Open mapping caveat (blocks full melee calculation): the game's per-weapon combat style names — e.g. sword Stab/Lunge/Slash/Block, axe Chop/Hack/Smash/Block (see Combat's weapon-style table) — are not yet mapped to which of the four abstract categories above each one actually grants. Do not assume an OSRS-style mapping (e.g. that "Stab" = Attack-only) — this has not been confirmed for SankoQuest. Until a named style is matched to a category by direct testing, melee XP can only be computed if the abstract category is already known some other way.

Step 2b: allocate by style — Ranged (Archery)

Ranged/Archery has three combat styles, matching the names on Archery's style table:

Style Archery XP Defense XP Confirmation
Accurate 4 × damage (presumed) — Inferred, not directly confirmed
Rapid 4 × damage (presumed) — Inferred, not directly confirmed
Longrange 2 × damage 2 × damage Confirmed. Example: 1 damage → 2 Archery + 2 Defense

Unlike melee, Archery has no separate weapon-style-name layer to resolve — Accurate/Rapid/Longrange are themselves the selectable combat styles, so no CXP7-style mapping question applies here.

Step 3: Stamina, always

Every combat hit — melee or Archery, any style — also grants Stamina XP = damage dealt × 1, in addition to (not instead of) the skill XP from Step 2. Confirmed by two examples: 1 damage (→ 4 XP Strength) also gave 1 Stamina XP; 2 damage (→ 8 XP Strength) also gave 2 Stamina XP.

Worked examples

Damage Style XP breakdown Total XP awarded
1 Melee, Strength-only 4 Strength + 1 Stamina 5
2 Melee, Strength-only 8 Strength + 2 Stamina 10
3 Melee, Strength-only 12 Strength + 3 Stamina 15
1 Melee, Attack + Strength split 2 Attack + 2 Strength + 1 Stamina 5
1 Archery, Longrange 2 Archery + 2 Defense + 1 Stamina 5
d Archery, Accurate or Rapid (inferred) 4d Archery + d Stamina 5d

What this formula does not cover

  • Magic combat XP (not documented by this data — see Scope above).
  • Max hit and hit chance — those are separately datamined; see Combat's core-rolls table. This section is XP allocation only.
  • Which named melee style maps to which abstract category (the CXP7 caveat under Step 2a above) — this was, until now, a 100% server-side and undocumented mechanic.
