Hit Rate is determined by comparing target [[evasion]] with player [[accuracy]] or [[ranged accuracy]]. It also suffers some [[Level Difference Penalty|level correction]], as well, but the general formula is:
:'''Hit Rate (%) = 75 + [[floor]]( ([[Accuracy]] - [[Evasion]]){{math|divide}}2 ) - 2{{math|times}}(dLVL)'''
::dLVL = Attacked Monster's Level - Attacking Player's Level

The dLVL term only applies in areas with level correction.

Increasing Hit Rate is often the single easiest way to improve your melee damage, but it has a maximum:
*99% For all pets.
*99% For both fists of Hand-to-Hand.
*99% For one-handed main-hand weapons.
*95% For one-handed secondary off-handed weapons.
*95% for two-handed weapons.
*95% for ranged attacks.
:*Under the effects of [[Sharpshot]] the maximum hit rate becomes 99% for ranged attacks.
This means that (no matter how much [[accuracy]] you stack), the maximum Hit Rate that you can hope to achieve in the long term has a capped %.

Additionally, for melee attacks, hit rate cannot fall below 20%, no matter how low your accuracy is or how high the target's evasion is.
