Ranged

Players train the Ranged skill to do more damage and have more accuracy with their ranged attacks and to be able to wield stronger and better ranging weapons.
Ranged can be trained in any form of range combat with any range weapon against Monsters or other players in the Wilderness. All attack styles will train the Ranged skill, however Longrange also partly trains Defence. In Emps-world you gain 40 Ranged experience per hit when using a ranged-only combat style.

A player can boost the Range skill by using Ranging potions or Super ranging potions made with Herblore, or by using range boosting Prayers like Eagle Eye.

Weapons based on Range level

A higher Range level will enable you to wield more and different kinds of range weapons and ammo. You can buy most ammo, bows and crossbows from Lowe in Varrock. Higher class equipment can be fletched, smithed or obtained from some monsters.
