Tactics

Summary

Tactics modifies weapon damage for all melee and ranged weapons.

• From 0 to 100, tactics adds Base Weapon Damage * (-0.5 + (Tactics Skill / 200)) damage to each swing.
• From 100.1 and above, tactics adds Base Weapon Damage * (0.01 * (Tactics Skill - 100)) damage to each swing. In other words, tactics adds 1% of Base Weapon Damage per point above 100.

Example Calculations

• For a player with 110 tactics, start with your Base Weapon Damage. Say that value rolls 25.
• Since tactics is at least 100, the initial damage modifier is 25 * (-0.5 + (100 / 200)) which is 0.
• There are 10 points over 100, so additionally add 25 * (0.01 * 10) which is 2.5 damage.
• The final hit, if no other bonuses are present, is then 27.5.

• Tactics is gained passively through melee combat.
• Up to 50.0 skill can be trained by weaponsmith NPCs.
• Skill gains for Tactics up to 70.0 are accelerated in the New Player Dungeon.
  • 50-70 Passively with melee combat in the New Player Dungeon.
