Range suggestions needed

[re4p3r1]

hi there people. well heres my dilemma i dont know whether to continue saving for the crystal bow or go out and get the dark bow. i originally had my mind set on the c bow but i found out that it looses its effectiveness as it goes down i dont want to have to constantly fill up for maximum effect so now i'm thinking about getting the dark bow the 2nd best range weapon in the game if i'm correct. but i noticed that its considerably slow and i dont want to buy something that i'm gonna later regret.

 

 

 

 

 

what should i do? stick with c bow or go with dark bow? or maybe you know something better?

 

GO

depends what u need ur range weapon for, if ur training use either rune crossbow or mage short for best xp, and dark bow is a lot slower then mage short unless ur firing d arrows. and if u have to save up for the cristal bow then its not worth it because u will feel disappointed after using the 2500 shots or so

Take it from a 99 ranger, neither are good. Crystal is outdated and Dark is overrated. Stick with Rune Crossbow and Mith bolts for a good mix of cost and exp. Or you could use a Bone Crossbow for decent exp but for a very cheap cost. Always use an Unholy(Zamorak) book with crossbows as well.

bronze-iron knives at caged ogres :) or level 50 giant spiders in the stronghold of security for this (idk your defense) so i will guess its atleast 70

 

 

 

torags helm

 

best d hide body and chaps you can wield

 

best shield you can wield

 

zammy god book

 

range boots or snakeskin boots

 

fury or glory

 

cb brace or vambs red or higher

 

and finally of course, bronze to iron knives

 

 

 

inventory to take

 

 

 

a few super def (if def is low)

 

a few range pots to last a few hours

 

4 of each is fine

 

with monks or higher

 

and then i sometimes take iron-addy arrows with msb and once i eat 1 food i spec every once in a while just for kicks and giggles

 

 

 

 

 

gl with range

Well as RobinHoodie says crystal is outdated, and dark bow is overrated. I suggest using knives for training (if you're training on low level monsters) and rune c'bow for more challenging monsters with high def.

knives own for training :thumbsup: and rune c'bow owns for higher level monster killing \

Crystal bow is actually much, much better than rune x bow with mith bolts..

 

 

 

its just underrated because it degrades, and people are usually too tight to reapair it, or too lazy to degrade one and keep the other 10/10.

i couldn't have said it better, however i'd like to add that bronze knives are amazing exp from 85-99 and that full void works better than black dhide on monsters 135 and lower; unless you can afford full armadyl, thats a different story.
