View source for Pay-to-play Ranged training

{{See also|Free-to-play Ranged 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.

==Recommended Armour==
[[File:Decent range gear.png|thumb|A player with good ranged training equipment for experienced players.]]
[[Void knight equipment]] with a ranged helm can be used instead for a 20% range increase.

[[Archer Helm]] becomes a good substitute for the snakeskin bandana at 45 defence and completion of [[The Fremennik Trials]].

'''Note:''' ''If armour is available as a set at the Grand Exchange, prices will be based on the set price.''

|The Green d'hide body requires the completion of the quest "[[Dragon Slayer]]". [[Yak-hide armour (legs)]] may be substituted for Green d'hide chaps for an extra 2 range bonus, however the armour bonuses between the two are more noticeable than in previous cases.

|[[Black d'hide coif]] -obtained from the activity [[Fist of Guthix]]- can be used to substitue the bandana
If you're a relatively wealthy player, or happened to obtain [[Ranger boots]], these are better than snakeskin boots.
|-
|75 Range, 75 Defence
|[[Armadyl armour]]: [[Armadyl chestplate]], [[Armadyl chainskirt]], [[Armadyl gloves]], and [[Armadyl helmet]] with [[Glaiven boots]]
|88
|[[File:Coins 10000.png]] {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEP|Armadyl chestplate}}+{{GEP|Armadyl chainskirt}}+{{GEP|Armadyl helmet}}+{{GEP|Armadyl gloves}}+{{GEP|Glaiven boots}}}}}}
|This is among the most expensive equipment, but is also the very best. [[Karil's armour]] may be used instead, with although less bonus, but an added set effect. [[Ranger boots]] or [[Snakeskin boots]] can be an alternative to Glaiven boots.
|-
|80 Range, 40 Defence
|[[Royal dragonhide armour]]: [[Royal d'hide body]], [[Royal d'hide chaps]], and [[Royal d'hide vambraces]] with [[Glaiven boots]]
|74 (without helmet)
|[[File:Coins 10000.png]] {{formatnum:{{#expr:{{GEP|Royal dragonhide set}}+{{GEP|Glaiven boots}}}}}}
|This armour set is a lot cheaper than Armadyl but just as good, it's ranged attack bonus is the same over all, the body has 1 less ranged defense than an [[Armadyl chestplate]] so it make's it a great choice for people with less money. [[Glaiven boots]] are a pricey choice they are the best, but if you are looking for something cheaper [[Snakeskin boots]] or [[Ranger boots]] are a very good choice. The helmet slot can be filled with [[Snakeskin bandana]] for a cheap option or with one of the higher priced items such as [[Armadyl helmet]].

==Side Equipment==
====Shields====
Any of these shields are '''highly''' recommended especially if using thrown items such as darts and knives, or when using a crossbow. Note that if you have not done the required quests for these items you can use an [[anti-dragonfire shield]] or a [[chaotic kiteshield]] for the defence bonuses. You can also use shields like spirit shields, which give no negative attack bonuses, for the same effect.

A highly recommended shield to use is the void deflector, with a dragonhide body.
If possible, enlightened versions of these books are suggested.

==Recommended Weapons==
The following table shows you what the best advised equipment is to train ranging fast.

'''Note''' Training for maximum efficiency will obviously cost much more than a slower method. The following costs will be used assuming you're power leveling, which means not stopping to pick up ammunition. Picking up your ammunition may be slower, but also more profitable. Using [[Ava's device]] past level 30 will greatly increase your profit by collecting the ammunition without a decrease in xp/hour as well as providing a good range bonus in cape slot.

!style="width=300px"|Slow weapon (name,range bonus, range strength,cost/shot)
|-
|1-5
|[[Iron knife]],+5,+4, {{GEP|Iron knife}}.<br />Can be used with shield slot item. Very high attack speed, recommend to train on lower leveled monsters
|[[Shortbow]] with<br />[[Iron arrows]], +8,+10,{{GEP|Iron arrow}}.<br />Two handed, more accuracy, for higher leveled monsters, moderate speed.
|[[Kayle's sling]],+5,+6.5,0.<br />Requires no ammunition, slightly stronger then iron knives, though slower. Two handed.
|-
|5-10
|[[Steel knife]],+8,+7,{{GEP|Steel knife}}.<br />Fast, not recommended as it costs quite a bit, level up with bronze until you can use black knives. One hand
|[[Steel dart]],+5,+4,{{GEP|Steel dart}}.<br />Same stats as bronze knives, but much cheaper. Can also be substituted with Kayle's sling.
|[[Oak shortbow]] with<br />[[Steel arrow]], +14,+16,{{GEP|Steel arrow}}.<br />Considerable accuracy, really cheap and hits pretty strong. Two handed
|-
|10-20
|[[Black knife]],+10,+8,{{GEP|Black knife}}.<br />Cheaper than steel darts, and stronger.
|None available, (Black darts are too expensive)
|None available, use other weapons
|-
|20-30
|[[Mithril knife]],+11,+10,{{GEP|Mithril knife}}.<br />Fast, hits really well considering speed, and average price.
|[[Mithril dart]],+8,+7,{{GEP|Mithril dart}}.<br />Exact stats as steel knives, and much cheaper.
|[[Willow shortbow]] with<br />[[Mithril arrow]]s, +20,+22,{{GEP|Mithril arrow}}.<br />This is a very big leap in power and accuracy from previous methods.
|-
|30-40
|[[Adamant knife]],+15,+14,{{GEP|Adamant knife}}.<br />Again, this is both expensive and fast, by now you should be able to use [[ava's attractor]], highly recommended.
|[[Adamant dart]],+11,+10,{{GEP|Adamant dart}}.<br />This time the dart has a much better bonus than before, matching that of a mithril knife.
|[[Maple shortbow]] with<br />[[Adamant arrow]]s, +29,+31,{{GEP|Adamant arrow}},<br />this is highly unrecommended though as addy arrows are in high demand for f2p and is quite costly for a slow method.
|}
Past this level, higher leveled knives and darts are no longer plausible due to their cost and meager bonuses.

The following table shows the recommended bolts cost, as crossbows are recommended past level 36

|-
|36
|[[Mith crossbow]],+66 range bonus
|[[Sapphire bolts]],+83 range strength
|{{GEP|Sapphire bolts}}
|[[Emerald bolts]],+85 range strength
|{{GEP|Emerald bolts}}
|Enchanted version of sapphire gives ability '''Clear mind''', which drains '''Player's''' prayer point and restore some to the user.<br />Enchanted emerald has ability '''Magical poison''', which gives a chance of inflicting 58 poison damage on opponents.
|-
|46
|[[Adamant crossbow]],+78 range bonus
|[[Ruby bolts]],+103 range strength
|{{GEP|Ruby bolts}}
|[[Diamond bolts]],+105 range strength
|{{GEP|Diamond bolts}}
|[[Ruby bolts (e)]] has the effect "'''blood forfeit'''" which takes away 20% of the target's current lifepoint for 10% of user's current life point.<br />[[Diamond bolts (e)]] provides the effect "'''Armour piercing'''" which will lower the target's ranged defence.
|-
|50
|[[Hunters' crossbow]],+55
|[[Kebbit bolts]],+28
|{{GEP|Kebbit bolts}}
|[[Long kebbit bolts]],+38
|{{GEP|Long kebbit bolts}}
|At first it may seem this crossbow is inferior to others, but it has an attack speed of 6, wherein the other crossbows have attack speed of 4, much slower, therefore, this crossbow is recommended when fighting low health low defence monsters (I.e, [[Chaos druids]])
|-
|61
|[[Rune crossbow]],+90
|[[Dragon bolts]],+117
|{{GEP|Dragon bolts}}
|[[Onyx bolts]],+120
|{{GEP|Onyx bolts}}
|Dragon bolts enchanted gain the ability "Dragon breathe", which inflicts dragonfire damage. Enchanted Onyx bolts gain the ability "Life leech", which inflicts extra damage and replenishes user by 25% of the damage dealt. However, these bolts are very expensive. The cost of using these bolts for training is similar to [[Chinchompas|chinchompa]] .

• XP rates can be reduced substantially if even one more person is training in Darkmeyer; it is a single-way combat zone, and Vyres may crowd around the other player more than around you, making auto-retaliate less useful for training.

• Unless a player has cremated a large number of [[Vyre corpse]]s, they will not achieve the high hits necessary to earn the best XP rates.}}

==Special Range Weapon==

===Chinchompa===
====Locations====
[[Red Chinchompa]] and [[Chinchompa (item)|Gray Chinchompa]] are multitarget ranged weapons which hit up to 9 enemies in an area of 3x3. They are useful in multicombat areas with many enemies such as, but not limited to, the following:
*The [[Mummy|Mummies]] in the [[Chaos Tunnels]]
*The [[Skeleton (Ape Atoll)|skeletons]] in the [[Ape Atoll Dungeon]]. Optimal experience for time and money. ([[Monkey Madness]] required to a certain extent)
*A Combat Ring in your home.
*The [[Dominion tower]] special mode fight [[Revenge of the Evil Chickens]]
*[[Bandit Camp (Kharidian Desert)]] (needs a Zamorak or Saradomin item for multiple attacks at once)
[[File:Killing mummies with chins.png|thumb|Fighting mummies in the [[Chaos Tunnels]], using red chinchompas.]]

====Inventory====
[[File:Chinchompa inventory.png|thumb|Recommended inventory and armour for [[Chaos Tunnels]].]]
Because in multicombat areas more than one enemy can attack you, it is highly recommended you use protection prayers. Your inventory should consist of mainly prayer potions, with one or two food in case of poisoning and diseases, and other potions such as super restore and/or ranging potion. Also, an emergency teleport could be taken in case you run into trouble. You can replace the antipoisons with an enhanced excalibur, as the healing will exceed the poison damage, allowing for more ranging and prayer potions.

====Experience gain====
[[Red chinchompa]]s are undoubtedly the fastest ranged experience within the game, but most expensive. The 2nd most economical location* for training is the [[Ape Atoll Dungeon]]. The ranged experience you receive depends upon your armour, your ranged level, and whether or not you are using ranging potions. An average setup with full void will provide you with the following estimated experience per hour at ape atoll.

Mummies are roughly 150k XP per hour slower at all levels because at Ape Atoll they all pile on one square with about 10-15 at a time.

*85 = 300-340k XP each hour
*86 = 340-345k XP each hour
*87 = 350-355k XP each hour
*88 = 360-365k XP each hour
*89 = 370-375k XP each hour
*90 = 380-385k XP each hour
*91 = 390-395k XP each hour
*92 = 395-405k XP each hour
*93 = 410-415k XP each hour
*94 = 420-425k XP each hour
*95 = 430-435k XP each hour
*96 = 440-445k XP each hour
*97 = 450-455k XP each hour
*98 = 460-465k XP each hour
*99 = 470-475k XP each hour

Although this method at Soul Wars is a fair bit slower than the Ape Atoll Dungeon or Mummies alternatives, it seems that not only the XP per [[Red Chinchompa]] ratio is higher, but you can also choose to spend the Zeal on [[ranged]] XP which makes this less costly and still gives amongst the greatest range XP possible in game.

*[[Skeleton]]s in [[Ape Atoll Dungeon]] ([[Monkey Madness]] required to a certain extent)
*[[Mummy|Mummies]] in the [[Chaos Tunnels]]
*Other Players in [[soul wars|Soul Wars]]
*PoH Combat Ring
*'''NOTE:''' If going to Ape Atoll dungeon, you will notice the lack of skeletons in the beginning. In a matter of minutes after killing, more will spawn. Also, go to a populated world, which will give you faster spawns. In addition to that, one must also prevent the skeletons from turning to a pile of burning bones. They will turn to burning bones after being alive for too long. This may be prevented by chinning with other players, in packs of 2-3. Although it may seem as more people means less xp, it doesn't. The fewer bones that burn make it far easier to have 20+ skeletons at once to throw chins at. Having more skeletons '''WILL''' get you more exp per chin and overall. Also, having more people means that at least one person is likely to draw aggression from the skeletons, ensuring that they do not wander the room.
*'''NOTE:''' Although Mummies in the Chaos Tunnels aren't as fast as Skeletons in Ape Atoll Dungeon, -150k exp pr hr less- it saves you money while you are in there considering the [[Rune scimatar|Rune Scimitars]], [[Rune sq shield|Rune Sq. Shields]], and [[Ancient Staff|Ancient Staves]] make up the amount of money you spend on Prayer Potions, or even the cost of the Red Chinchompas if you are lucky. (does not cover both costs at the same time).
*'''NOTE:''' Using Red Chinchompas at Soul Wars can be very difficult as for it to be effective you will need a few requirements. First of all, a busy world. Having a Soul Wars Clan to help take over both graveyards helps as the only real effective spot is outside the opponent's spawn area (near their avatar) as if they have a grave, less will spawn and there will be more high levels attacking you. Standing next to where your opponent comes out of the barrier and throwing Chinchompas on oncoming victims is effective, however when they run you will run after them which is not desired. The best thing to do is to stand right where everyone comes out of the barrier - so most people won't see you - and chin a few people until someone decides to stand next to you and attack you. From there having <u>Auto Retaliate ON</u> is highly recommended as most people won't run. This method does involve taking a lot of damage so do always stock up on bandages and try to wear the best armour you can. For this reason [[Armadyl armour|Armadyl]] is recommended over [[Void armour|Void]]. '''P.S''': If sometimes you find you throw a Chinchompa at someone, it explodes but causes no damage symbol to appear, be happy. It simply means that others are soaking the damage for them. This makes it easier to target just one person. *Remember to always use the Attack Style <u>"Short Fuse"</u> for optimal results. It is also beneficial to use the [[soul split]] prayer from the Ancient Curses prayer book to maximize survival time to increase experience gain.
*'''NOTE:''' To gain optimal experience throwing Chinchompas in a Combat Ring, gather around twenty people and have them stand in any one spot in the ring. Now, all you must do is simply throw the Chinchompas at the people. This method can rack in around 200k xp/hr. Useful for those who do not have enough cash to buy Prayer Potions.
*'''NOTE:''' Using the "Knock-Out" aura can increase your xp gain in groups.

===Cannon use guide===
====Locations====
*[[Slayer]] tasks (e.g. [[Dagannoths]], [[Kalphite soldier]]s, and [[Black Demons]])
*Multi-combat zones with safe spots
*'''NOTE:''' While the Black Demons are NOT particularly cost-effective for range training (as compared to the green dragons, which produce an exorbitant profit), many of their locations -particularly in the Taverley Dungeon- go quite unnoticed by most players as potentially some of the quickest experience given in the game. Taverley, for example, produces a fire rate almost double that typically found in the Green Dragons area near Clan Wars and has the added bonus of not requiring the [[Anti-Dragon Shield]], [[antifire potion]]s, or [[super antifire potion]]s. However, the Black Demons WILL hit rapidly, heavily, and accurately when you must leave your safe spot, so lower levels must be wary to either activate Protect from Melee or to ensure their health and armour are strong enough to defend them very briefly to reload the cannon. When cannoning Black Demons, you may wish to bring prayer potions so you can continue to use Protect from Melee during extended trips.

====Restrictions====
The cannon '''cannot''' be set up in the following locations:
*[[Ancient Cavern]]
*[[God Wars Dungeon]] (God chambers)
*[[King Black Dragon Lair]] (the [[King Black Dragon]] will destroy it)
*[[Kalphite Queen]]'s room in the [[Kalphite Hive]] (the Kalphite Queen will destroy it)
*[[TzHaar]] city and activities ([[TzHaar Fight Cave|Fight Caves]], [[Tzhaar Fight Pit|Fight Pits]])
*[[Slayer Tower]]
*[[Fremennik Slayer Dungeon]]
*[[Activities]]
*[[Chaos Tunnels]]
*[[Pest Control]]
*[[Bandos's throne room|Bandos' Throne Room]]
*[[Kuradal's Dungeon]]
*[[Tarn's lair]]
*[[Grotworm Lair]]

====Inventory====
*[[Cannon base]], [[Cannon stand]], [[Cannon barrels]], [[Cannon furnace]] and [[Cannonballs]].
*[[Food]], depending on where you are using the cannon.
*[[Prayer potion]]s, if prayer is needed in the location.
*[[Ranging potion]]s if you want to boost your Range level. Note that the cannon's accuracy is affected by your Range level and the attack style you are using. Also ranging level will only increase cannon accuracy if you wield a ranged weapon. Please note that the cannon's accuracy will not be affected as heavily as your own range stats.

====Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza====
This gives Ranged xp as well as Magic and Agility, but can only be attended weekly. Depending on your levels, the experience varies but it could be high. Going to this circus is recommended and High ranged attack bonus and ranged boosting prayers will be an advantage. High magic attack bonus and magic boosting prayers is an advantage for the Magic too. It only takes a few minutes to complete.
