Ranger boots are a rare item received from a level 2 Treasure Trail. They increase the ranging attack bonus by 8. Less wealthy players usually replace Ranger boots with Snakeskin boots, which gives +3 range attack, and cost about 1560 times less. These boots are considered the best level 2 clue scroll reward, and are regarded as the rarest level 2 clue scroll reward, in front of Wizard boots. They have a requirement of level 40 Ranged in order to wear.
Ranger boots are commonly used in conjunction with a Robin Hood hat. This item can fluctuate in price on the Grand Exchange by a considerable amount. In 2004, a common price for them was about 400-500k. For a while, it was stable at about 3.9 million coins. In mid 2008, it quickly increased up to about 5.3 million, after which it steadily fell to about 4.3 million in October 2008. Now the price is slowly decreasing, though it once exceeded 30 million coins, and is currently at around Expression error: Unexpected < operator. million coins, and has started dropping due to the introduction of Glaiven boots, which are higher in stats, and more recently, Armadyl boots, which are almost identical in stats to ranger boots, but significantly easier to find, and Pernix boots, which are superior to Glaiven boots. All of these options provide players with more choices, thus freeing up the bottleneck in ranged footwear among higher level players.
Ranger boots originally resembled the green coloured Fremennik boots, but were changed due to players scamming other players by switching ranger boots with Fremennik boots.
