Forgotten ranger

The forgotten ranger is a monster encountered in Daemonheim. Their combat level normally corresponds to a tier of armour of the same type. For example, level 20 Forgotten Rangers wear Tier 2 equipment (Subleather armour and a Seeping elm shortbow) while level 80 ones wear Tier 5 (Dromoleather armour and a Spinebeam shortbow). This condition is also noticeable on Forgotten warriors and Forgotten mages. Like other forgotten human monsters, Forgotten rangers have high accuracy and can deal decent damage for their level, but have low Defence and Constitution to compensate. They are weak against slashing weapons, so those with battleaxes and 2h swords should have no trouble taking them out. Low-level rangers can easily be defeated in any combat style by a high-level player. On the other hand, he/she will have difficulty killing high-level rangers without Protect from Missiles, since these monsters can even hit fairly accurately against high-tier melee armour. It seems like this monster has a smaller variety of levels as compared to their Forgotten warrior and mage counterparts(that is, the one wearing tier 3 items is always level 40, while Forgotten warriors in tier 3 armour can be level 38, 40, 44 and so on.) They are not very dangerous to those wearing a Shadow silk hood, and are generally the given the lowest priority in a room on a hooded team (Unless it is the only monster in the room, in which case it will usually be very powerful, usually level 200).

Weapons and ammunition
All weapons dropped by this NPC include arrows of different tiers as well as bows of different tiers. Whichever version of this monster you are killing has a potential to drop the shortbow they are wielding (or its corresponding longbow), as well as the same tier of arrows (around 1 to 50+ arrows may be dropped). For example, Gorgonite arrows and entgallow bows can only be dropped by level 84 forgotten rangers.

Armour
Whichever version of this monster you are killing has a potential to drop the armour that they are wearing. For example, Tyrannoleather bodies and chaps can only be dropped by level 96 or 114 Forgotten rangers.

Trivia

 * If you look very carefully at the rangers arrows, they are shooting mithril arrows. The camera must be very close to the ranger so you can tell what he is shooting. All rangers shoot mithril arrows regardless of their level. This includes Sagittare when he is not using his magic-based arrow attack. This was fixed on 28 February 2012.
 * Although they wield shortbows, they can attack from very far distances, possibly due to using the 'long-range' stance.
 * Although forgotten rangers never wield longbows, they can drop them.
 * Thok calls Forgotten Rangers as cowards who cannot fight, since he thinks bows and arrows are weapons for cowards.
 * Forgotten Rangers using Sagittarian equipment are the weakest of their high combat level, since their max hit is very low compared to others around their combat level, though the low damage makes up for high accuracy.
