'''{{PAGENAME}}''' affects how good the player is with ranged {{Icon|Combat}}. It determines what ranged armour and weapons the player can use. The Ranged skill also increases the maximum hit and accuracy rating of ranged weapons.  
'''{{PAGENAME}}''' is a {{Icon|Combat}} skill. Unlike [[Melee]], which uses both {{Skill|Attack}} and {{Skill|Strength}} when attacking monsters in combat, the player's Ranged level affects both accuracy and damage. The Ranged skill also determines what Ranged armour, Ranged weapons, and [[Equipment#Ammunition|ammo]] the player can use.


==Combat Styles==
Players using Ranged will gain [[Combat Triangle]] bonuses against monsters that use {{Skill|Magic}} and penalties against monsters that use {{Icon|Melee}}.
There are three Ranged combat styles: Accurate, Rapid, and Longranged.


When using the Rapid or Accurate styles, 0.4 Ranged experience is earned per point of damage dealt. When using the Longranged style, 0.2 Ranged experience and 0.2 Defence experience is earned per point of damage instead.
== Mechanics ==
There are three Ranged attack styles: '''Accurate''', '''Rapid''', and '''Longrange'''. Each Ranged attack uses [[Equipment#Ammunition|ammunition]] (ammo), which is equipped to a dedicated gear slot. Bows use arrows, crossbows use bolts, and javelins and throwing knives act as both a one-handed weapon and their ammo. Ammo can be created in {{Skill|Fletching}} or obtained by killing monsters.


In addition to affecting what experience is earned, each Ranged combat style has a special bonus:
0.4 Ranged XP is earned per point of damage dealt with a Ranged weapon. When using the Rapid or Accurate styles, this XP is applied directly to the Ranged skill. When using the Longrange style, the XP is split evenly between Ranged and Defence.


* When using the Accurate style, the player's [[Combat#Ranged Accuracy Rating|Ranged Accuracy Rating]] is slightly increased. Details can be found on the [[Combat#Ranged Accuracy Rating|Combat]] page.
In addition to affecting how experience is distributed, each Ranged attack style has a special bonus:
* When using the Rapid style, the player attacks 0.4s faster.
* The Longranged style does not provide any bonus, although in earlier versions it provided a slight increase to the player's Melee Evasion Rating.


==Experience Boosts==
* '''Accurate:''' +6 Hidden Ranged Level, slightly improving the player's [[Combat#Accuracy Rating|Ranged Accuracy Rating]].
* '''Rapid:''' -0.4s Attack Interval, making the player's attacks 0.4 seconds faster. This is the recommended style for increasing XP per hour.
* '''Longrange:''' +3 Hidden Ranged Level and +3 Hidden Defence Level, slightly improving the player's [[Combat#Accuracy Rating|Ranged Accuracy Rating]] and [[Combat#Evasion Rating|Evasion Rating]].


Ranged experience earned can be increased by 7% by equipping the {{ItemIcon|Gold Emerald Ring}}, which is additive with the 1% increase from {{PetIcon|Pyro}} and 5% from {{ItemIcon|Firemaking Skillcape}} for a maximum increase of 13%. Raising Ranged to level 99 will unlock the {{ItemIcon|Ranged Skillcape}} for purchase from the [[Shop]]. Equipping the {{ItemIcon|Ranged Skillcape}} gives a 50% chance to preserve ammunition.
== Skill Level Unlocks ==
Increasing the {{PAGENAME}} skill allows the player to equip more powerful Ranged weapons and armour. The player's accuracy and damage with any Ranged attack style also scale with Ranged level.
{{SkillUnlocks|{{PAGENAME}}}}


== Material Unlocks ==
== Skillcapes ==
Each bow, crossbow, javelin, throwing knife, arrow, bolt and armour material requires a certain Ranged level to be equipped. Below are some tables detailing which Ranged level is required for which material.
The standard and superior [[Skillcapes|skillcapes]] for this skill can be purchased from the store for {{GP|1000000}} and {{GP|10000000}} after the player reaches {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|99}} and {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}}, respectively. Reaching {{SkillReq|{{PAGENAME}}|120}} requires the {{Icon|Throne of the Herald Expansion}}.
