Pay-to-play Ranged training

The following guide gives advice on training the ranged skill from levels 1-99. 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.

Preface
Please note that rings, helms, necklaces, boots, and shields are your choice to wear since they don't provide a large range offensive bonus.

Weapons
The following table shows you what the best advised equipment is to train ranging. For ammo its recommended you use iron or steel arrows and use Ava's attractor or accumulator.

The Crystal bow costs a lot of money but offers the greatest experience of all save cannoning and red chinchompas

Bone bolts can only be used with the Dorgeshuun crossbow or Zanik's crossbow. Zanik's crossbow requires The Chosen Commander.

If you have the required 55 Slayer for broad-tipped bolts, use them as they are cheaper than mithril bolts, but as strong as adamant bolts.

Equipment
From worst to best. Note: Only use Void Knight equipment if you are using the entire set at once. Otherwise, it is quite useless for ranging.
