Zachneap Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I have 49 range. i'm aiming to train it to much higher levels and i am curious on your input. What is the most efficient (cost per exp) method to reach 60? 70? 80? i was thinking to use a goblin crossbow and bone bolts. but i'm looking for a bit more input. (using sc armor of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All_Is_Great Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Well, if you kill something that gives drops, you actually earn money. My suggestion is train to 60 range via cheap stuff like bronze knives/ arrows on yaks/ experiments. Then go to green drags with a rune cbow and mith/broad bolts.

funion987 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 I can tell you that I got up to 72 range without spending more than about 6-8k. It's pretty simple, really, although it may be more time-consuming than you might have the patience for. Mine coal and mithril, or, alternatively, coal and iron. Then, smith that coal and iron into steel bars, or that coal and mithril into mithril bars. Make the bars into arrow heads or unfinished bolts. If you are making arrows, fletch arrow shafts. For both arrows and bolts, buy feathers (or kill/hunt for them), and attach them to your unfinished ammunition. Use magic shortbow and/or rune crossbow to fire your self-made ammunition. A very cheap method in my opinion. As far as shooting the ammunition, maybe try moss giants. There is a good safe spot at Crandor Isle, and the giants have some pretty good drops. It's what I used, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yidso74 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Grab a Dorgeshuun C'bow and some Bone Bolts. The bone bolts are about 4gp a piece and they hit pretty hard. Its how ive been leveling my range. I dont pick them up, but if you did there would be even more money saving qualities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgehog Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 god that is an awful way to train. Awful? Maybe. Budget? Very. Its awful training as in it sucks. You aren't saving anything by mining the ore, smelting the ore, smithing the bars, and fletching into arrows. To make only a little bit of ammo would take a huge amount of time. You could easily buy iron/bronze knives and train then make money in the time your method takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aslan Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Bone bolts are 2 gp.There's no cheaper training than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funion987 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Bone bolts are 2 gp.There's no cheaper training than that. How about arrows that cost you 0 gp? To make only a little bit of ammo would take a huge amount of time. You could easily buy iron/bronze knives and train then make money in the time your method takes. You do have a point more or less.

Deltaer Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 god that is an awful way to train. Awful? Maybe. Budget? Very. Actually.. by making your own ammo, it's more costly. The opportunity cost is way too large. It's completely inefficient. I'll use this as a simple example. Why not just kill greens for an hour and make 400-500k? Then buy your ammo.. Instead of wasting an hour to make... I don't know how many, but probably less than 100k worth of arrows. SPECIALIZATION is the key people. Do whatever makes you the best money. I could understand making your own ammo before the grand exchange, as it was harder to find buyers/sellers, but not now.. it's just stupid.

Lap Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 This is what I did to 60 range. Use glory tele to Karmja, and head West. There is a Moss Giant island all the way west of Brimhaven. There are 5 moss giant spawns, and the island is rarely crowded. There are 2 cake spawns and many safespots. They drop big bones as well, and sometimes drop ranarr seeds and half keys! 45,657th to 99 Range 29/09/09 , 41,018th to 99 Mage 13/11/09__________________ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not read the post above yours? I said I get it now. Yes, I can see that however you do not spend money on ammo, it's wasting precious time that could be used to get (more) money. I suppose the only "advantage" with my method is you get xp in mining, smithing, fletching, and woodcutting. But since the question was not, "What is the way of training range where I can incorporate the largest number of skills at a time?", that has little significance within this thread.
