Summary
This page talks about the advanced mechanics of swing speed.
- Swing speed refers to how quickly a character can perform attacks with their equipped weapon.
- It is crucial for dexxer templates to increase their swing speed in order to increase their DPS.
- The swing speed of a character is measured by their swing delay. Lower swing delay means attacking faster.
- Swing delay is decreased by acquiring more swing speed increase, also known as swing speed bonus or SSI.
- Swing delay is capped at 0.5 for any given weapon, which is 2 attacks per second.
Swing speed increase is capped at 50%, which can be increased by 10% with Redline for a total of 60%.
Weapon Base Swing Speed
- Each different type of weapon has a base swing speed which can be found in the chart below under the column "Sec/Swing"
- Some weapons can reach the 0.5 swing delay cap, whereas others cannot reach this cap even with 60% swing speed increase.

Swing Speed Formula
The formula for calculating a player's final swing delay is as follows:
(Weapon Base Swing Speed * (1 - Swing Speed Increase)) = Swing Delay
Swing Speed Increase Sources
There are multiple sources of swing speed increase:
Delectable Food gives a swing speed increase of 5% + 10% * (Highest Skill / 100). Highest skill refers to the highest skill between Taste ID or Cooking

Overcapping Swing Speed
- When making Melee Attacks against creatures, if a player's Swing Speed exceeds their Swing Speed Cap, any excess bonuses to Swing Speed will be converted into a Damage Bonus against the creature on a 1% to 1% ratio
- Below is an example:
A player has 75% Swing Speed bonuses for their character but a Swing Speed Cap of 60% The player will receive a (75% - 60%) = +15% Damage bonus against the creature

The Value of Swing Speed
- Swing speed multiplies every other source of damage for a dexxer by allowing it to occur more often.
- Due to the nature of the swing speed formula, each point of swing speed increase will give more benefit than the last.
