In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels. The cutoff is approximately level 40. {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}} should likely be used before this cutoff to also get an amount of {{Skill|Defence}} XP!

Ranged has several different Weapon types to choose from, each with their own benefits and drawbacks. For the early part of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source:

For the earliest parts of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source. Javelins are more powerful than bows, and can be used if you want to powerlevel a bit, but the effort it takes to make enough for each level bracket is more than the effort required to just use arrows. Additionally, {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} are equivalent to {{ItemIcon|Rune Arrows}} while not having a level requirement, and so can be used from {{Skill|Ranged}} level 1. If you can comfortably fight {{MonsterIcon|Frozen Archer}} with your {{Skill|Melee}} setup, these can carry you through training ranged without even looking at {{Skill|Fletching}}

For the other combat styles, you'll be wearing the equivalent Master Slayer armor. Note that you cannot ever wear two of the same item, so whichever item you choose to put in the passive slot must be one of the armor pieces not currently equipped in your chest/head slots.

With the {{AoD}} [[Atlas of Discovery Expansion]], the {{POIIcon|Perilous Peaks}} Point of Interest also provides an extra 20% area effect negation, allowing you to reach 100% negation with only {{ItemIcon|Slayer Helmet (Elite)|Elite Slayer Armor}} and without needing {{AgilityIcon|Pillar of Combat}}


It should be noted that while UW is listed first, '''completing the {{ZoneIcon|Impending Darkness Event}} first will make this grind faster!''' You can complete ID without any of the UW gear sets, the sets don't help the event very much, and the shields speed up the slayer area signifcantly.
