Ranged

This page is out of date (v0.20).

Ranged

Ranged affects how good the player is with ranged 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.

Players using Ranged will gain Combat Triangle bonuses against monsters that use Magic and penalties against monsters that use Melee.

Combat Styles

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.

In addition to affecting what experience is earned, each Ranged combat style has a special bonus:

• When using the Accurate style, the player's Ranged Accuracy Rating is slightly increased. Details can be found on the Combat page.
• 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

Ranged experience earned can be increased by 4% by equipping the Gold Emerald Ring, which is multiplicative with the 1% increase from Pyro and 5% from Firemaking Skillcape for a maximum increase of 10%.

Material Unlocks

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.
