Ranged

Ranged is a bow, ammo, and a tile you can hold. This page is the RuneScape sheet. Chinchompas are a funded method, not the start.

Ranged in RuneScape

Words on this page

Chinchompa: throwing animals that hit a pile and cost coins. Ammo: the arrows or bolts the bow eats. Weakness: the style that monster hates.

Unlock

Your bow tier follows Ranged. Chinchompas want Hunter, and a spot the wiki still lists. Quivers follow their own quests.

The route

  • Early

    Method
    Use a shortbow on Taverley Slayer or in Lumbridge.
    Place
    Stand far enough that you are safe.
    Click
    Click the monster.
    Leave
    Leave knives behind once the bow is better.
  • Mid

    Method
    Do Slayer with the best bow you can repair.
    Place
    Stand on the task.
    Click
    Click the monster, and let some tasks walk to you.
    Leave
    Leave crystal and ascension bows until you have already paid for them.
  • Late

    Method
    Stay on Slayer, or throw chinchompas if you can hold the tile.
    Place
    Stand on a spot that is yours.
    Click
    Click the pile, then eat.
    Leave
    Leave a public tile you cannot keep.

Inventory

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Use the best bow you can repair. Bring the ammo that bow wants. Bring only what this method uses. Leave the spare gear in the bank.

Money fork

Ammo is the bill. Chinchompas cost a lot. Slayer with a bow you own is the cheap road. Check the wiki.

Iron fork

If you cannot buy the supplies, gather them yourself. Stay on the earlier step until you have them.

Kit

Wear a Slayer helmet on a task. Use the best bow you can repair. Bring the ammo that bow wants.

Mistakes

Do not throw chinchompas on a public tile you cannot hold. Do not buy a top bow with no ammo money.

Stop

Stop when you have the level you came for. A quest, a prayer, or a weapon. Level 99 is a cape. You do not need it to use the skill.

Official notes

XP rates move. Use the live wiki for the number. This page is the route.
