Ranged

Ranged is one of the three combat classes. It involves using bows, crossbows, and thrown weapons to take down opponents, and wearing armour based off of various monsters' hides. Players who specialise in this skill are known as rangers or archers.

The Combat Triangle dictates that Rangers are strong against Mages but weak against Melee fighters.

Ranged's ability to attack from a distance means that a plaiyer can safespot a Melee monster while fighting from safety. However, this is not very useful as Melee monsters have high Ranged defence.

Training
The following guide gives advice on training the Ranged skill from levels 1-99, for members. The ranged combat skill is highly useful as it gives the player the ability to attack from long ranges with projectiles. This can allow a player to avoid all damage in combat.

Defence can be trained in the same fashion by setting combat exp gain to Defence or Defence and Ranged.

Getting Ready
Go to the oracle and visit the range armour and ammo sections to buy some ranging supplies

Levels 1-55
Kill the men and guards around the server, or you can visit the Rock Crabs. Using knives would be preffered.

Levels 55+
Buy Red Chinchompas or hunt them. Go to the abyss with some prayer renewals and prayer potions also atleast 43 prayer. DO not RUN. Walk around and make sure you have them crowded in a single tile, and watch as you gain huge amount of exp drops.

Levels 55+ (Alternative)
You can also use a cannon when training range, but keep in mind this will not give you hit points experience. you can do this while training at dragons for some serious cash! Make sure you bring an anti-dragon shield!
