I'm at 40 ranged right now. About how many arrows would it take to gain just under 64,000 experience points using a willow shortbow on the rapid attack style? Right now I have 1300 steel arrows, but will use different kinds if advised to do so. I'd be wearing full green dragonhide, snakeskin boots(what boots should I wear?), and an archer helm.

If you plan on picking up the arrows the 1.3k may be enough, 2k would do for sure unless you are fighting a high level monster that you would lose arrows on.

What would you suggest that I train on? Also, what is the best way to get arrow shafts? I hate chopping normal logs...

Normal logs are the only way to get arrow shafts quickly sorry. I recommend that you train on Moss Giants, they are good exp at lower levels and give many good seed drops that will earn your arrow money back hopefully.

  • Author

Thank you. What boots should I wear? I've been wearing snakeskin because I can't think of anything else. I won't start training until I get one more crafting level to make green dragon bodies. Is there anything that you can do to green dragon bodies/chaps such as studding like normal leather or [bleep]es on vambraces? I always high alch my armour on accident...

Unless you want to buy ranger boots (2M+ :o) then snakeskin boots are perfect. And no, you can't add studs to dragonhide, only [bleep]es to vambraces.

 

 

 

And I suggest you get a yew or maple shortbow, they're really cheap and provide a better range attack bonus.

I should, but I like to make my own stuff. Willow is the best that I can make, and I have a magic shortbow from a treasure trail reward that I'll switch to at level 50.

Ok first do Animal Magnetism so you dont need to pick up your arrows. Secondly, get a yew bow! They are less than 1k, it doesnt matter if you can only make willow, they suck! Yew is the best you can use. If you dont have the money, mine 3 coal ores. :lol:

It doesnt matter since you can upgrade it for free when you get 50 ranged.

I thought that the upgrade costed 999 steel arrows?

No, and even if it did, they're the same except the metal of randomly generated items. They both pick up all fired ammo.

It costs 75 Steel arrows to upgrade the attractor to a accumulator.

 

 

 

You need to pay 999 GP if you loose it, I think you swapped those two numbers :P.

 

 

 

The accumulator will make steel arrows whereas the attractor only gives iron and steel arrowheads. (All other stuff is the same) The accumulator gives 2 more range attack and mage defence bonus.
