Ranging Guide

This is my Ranging Guide in the No.1 Game, Runescape.

I will show you how to get 99 Ranging Fast and unlike anyone else would for Free2Play Members and Pay2Play Members.

This might seem surprising, but it's a good guide. Ranging is one of the best combat skills in the Game followed by Strength, Attack, and Magic. It is known to be very handy because you can attack melee users from a distance.

Magic is a deep weakness of Ranged Players, so it's best to make sure you stock up on food if your attacking a mage pk group.

I will explain fully what you have to attack and how long it'll take to get 99 Range.

This is for Pures or Weak Ones (Ones with Def, Atk and Str under 60 and 1 Ranged).

First Tips:

In order to get fast ranged exp, click the Combat Tab and switch to Rapid. That will give you exp for Ranged and Constitution. Make sure you don't waste too much money buying 10,000 Arrows and do not buy any Crossbows or Bolts. And do not buy Poisoneus Arrows when Training.

Levels 1-15:

Attack Cows in Lumbridge. Starting at the Lumbridge castle, go north, east, north, and when you see An Area with cows in, you've found the Cows. They are Level 2, and sometimes it's a little crowded. If you are at Low Prayer and would like to get your Cooking up, pick up there Raw Beef and Bones. Bury the Bones and the next time you make a fire, cook the raw beef. You should have a Normal Longbow with Bronze Arrows, but if you have a good amount of money, buy at least 50-100 Iron Arrows.

Levels 15-25

Attack Barbarians in Barbarian Village. You might need at least 20 Strength and Defense, otherwise you are more likely to die. They are Levels 9-12 and have Bronze Spears (I think). Bring Lobsters, or the Beef that you might have taken from the Cows and cooked. Levels 15-25 are the rough levels, so make sure you are equipped with the right weapons. Use an Oak Longbow with at least 100 Iron Arrows (About 200-300 Recommended) and try to wear the Hardleather Body and Chaps. You'd be hitting a lot of 0's, so try to find a safespot (only 1 in Barbarian Village).

Levels 25-40

Attack Level 12 Minotaurs in the First Floor in Stronghold of Security. The Stronghold of Security (SoS) is located down the hole in the ground in Barbarian Village and known to be a very handy place to train any Combat Skill. When you go down the hole to the SoS, the first monsters that you will see are the Goblins. Pass the doors on the east-side and there should be Level 12 Minotaurs or maybe even Level 14 Wolves. Keep with Iron Arrows, and just switch to Willow Longbow. Keep with the Baic Leather Body and Chaps, and make sure you don't put too much weight on, otherwise your Defense and Attack Bonuses will decrease.

There are Level 27 Minotaurs, so don't get muddled up.

Level 40-50

When you reach Level 40, you should then sell your Iron Arrows to get better ones. Use a Maple Longbow and Steel Arrows. Complete the Non-Member's Quest Dragon Slayer so you have the ability to wear Green Dragonhide. Get The whole Green Dragonhide set (Even Coif if you have enough) and buy leather boots or something. Now go to the Wizards Tower, located West and South of Lumbridge Castle, go to the Top Floor, and attack the Lesser Demon. The Lesser Demon is Level 86, and luckily it is locked up, so you a free to attack it without it managing to attack you. It has a lot of health and therefore, is very good for training. Sometimes it's a little crowded (mainly in F2P Worlds) and sometimes not. The Demon usually takes 15-30 Seconds to reappear once you have killed it.

Level 50-55 (Member's Strategy)

This is for Free Players and Member's, though it's more suited for Members. Keep with Steel Arrows and buy a Magic Bow, a Blue Dragonhide Body, Blue Dragonhide Chaps, Blue Dragonhide vambraces. and a Blue Dragonhide Coif. Blue D'hide Coif is expensive, but it's worth it. Now Go to the 2nd Floor of Stronghold of Security, go through the east doors and then you should be with the Zombies Level 44. Exit by going through the east doors and then go through the next east doors and you will reach the Level 35 Flesh Crawlers. Attack the Level 35 Flesh Crawlers. In Member's World's, it's always very crowded. In Free to Play Worlds, it's not very crowded. Flesh Crawlers have a high health and there highest damage is about 40 or 50. Take Lobsters or Swordfish with you so you don't die, and they can drop rares, so make sure you have free spaces in your inventory.

Level 55-68

This is a very popular way to train Ranged. Buy a Brass Key from the Grand Exchange (May take long, just increase the price by 50%), leave the Grand Exchange and Go west. Keep going west until you find a Little House with a Locked door. Use the Key on the door and the door opens. Go down the Ladder inside the house, which will take you to Edgeville Dungeon. Attack the Hill Giants which are Level 28. It's usually not very crowded, but sometimes it is. Though it sounds like Level 35 Flesh Crawlers are better than Hill Giants, they are not. Hill Giants have a high health and reappear really fast. They also drop Big Bones which give 15 Prayer Experience.

You might want to buy the Focused Magic Longbow and you might ant to buy Red Dragonhide armour, so when you reach Level 60 you can wear the Red Dragonhide.

Level 68-78

This is a very uncommon way, but it still works. It will take quite long, but it does quite work.

First, make sure you switch to a Dark Bow and make sure you have either Mithril or Adamant Arrows. You should sell your Red Dragonhide, buy Black Dragonhide, get Level 70 Ranged and then wear your Black D'hide. Black D'hide is the last and best D'hide you can get.

Strategy 1. On the 2nd Floor of SoS, attack the Level 53 Zombies. You should have at least 60 Defense, and make sure you temporarily use the Dark Bow's Special Attack, which can be activated by clicking the bar in the Combat Tab.

Strategy 2. In the Varrock Sewers (A Dungeon on the East Side of Varrock Castle) there are Level 42 Moss Giants. Attack these, as they have a high Defense and Health, and they drop big bones. They hit over 80 Damage, so make sure you find a safespot. There are Many Safespots in the Area of Moss Giants. Here is how to find a Safespot:

Find a Spot where you think the Targetted or Attacking Monster cannot reach you or cannot pass to reach you. Try to hide in a small Gap that the Targetted Monster cannot fit in and has to stay at Least 2 Steps away from you.

These two strategies are risky.

Level 78-99

Now you should either buy a Runite Crossbow with Adamant or Rune Bolts (About 1,000 of them) or Red Chinchompas. Red Chinchompas are explosive ranged weapons that hit targets on a 3 by 3 Grid. They are very costly though.

Go to Crandor and up the hills to the dungeon. There should be some Lesser Demons at Level 85. Find a SafeSpot (Lots of them) and start attacking the Lesser Demons. They have extremely high health meaning awesome exp, and with Chinchompas you can hit both at once! Depending on your Ranged Level, with Full Black Dragonhide, a Runite Crossbow and Rune Arrows you can hit at least 140. That will give 70 Exp to both your Ranged and Constitution!

You can always go back and buy other armour you might of unlocked at Level 80 or 90.

Level 90-99 (For the ones who get bored)

This is for the ones who don't want to keep killing Lesser Demons. Attack the Ogres that are scattered around Feldip Hills. There levels are 60-120. The Level 120 Ogres are very dangerous as they hit perfect 300's, so I'd aim for the ones about Level 80-90, as they can only hit up to 140. There are not many safespots in feldip hills, so bring Lobsters or the best you can bring. Chinchompas are the best for training against Ogres.

Enjoy killing Cows, Barbarians, Minotaurs, Lesser Demons, Flesh Crawlers, Hill Giants, Zombies, Moss Giants, Lesser Demons and Ogres! Hope this Guide helped you get Level 99 Ranged.
