Training Slayer with Ranged

[Dangarous]

I haven't trained Ranged in YEARS (aside from going from 88-91 purely using cannon during slayer) and going from 85-88 with Chins at Ape Atoll.. and while I was getting 85 slayer (which I just got) I've finally maxed out my combat stats.. 99 Defence, Attack, Strength, and HP. I'm currently just training Slayer for the hell of it.. but I was thinking of ranging a decent amount of my tasks, but with all the new ways to train Ranged, and the countless new Ranged equipment out there.. I don't know where to start...

 

So, I have a few questions:

 

1. I have 91 Ranged, 99 Defence, 85 Slayer, and about 15M to spend on supplies.. I got potions covered already (about 12M worth lol) So.. what should I buy? What kind of armor? Crossbow? What kind of bolts/arrows?? I am basically new to Ranged.. with my stats I know that sounds [developmentally delayed]ed...but it is what it is lol

2. Which tasks would you recommend I ranged?

 

Anything else you want to add to help me out would be greatly appreciated... THANKS!!!

Chin nechs and other chinable tasks. Use dragon/rune/addy darts in kuradels dungeon for low defense tasks.

 

Keep using a cannon.

 

For armor use fsh with arma top and bottom, ranger boots, archer (i), sw cape, zammy book. On chinning bring a cross bow to finish off low hp nechs. On really low defense tasks (LRC) use full void+deflector+ACP.

their damage output @ 100% accuracy is proportional to the following:

 

Handcannon: 256.8

Karils Crossbow: 238.0

Zaryte Bow: 214.8

Broad Bolt/Crossbow: 196.8

rune dart: 234.0

 

Costs:

Hand cannon: 250k gp/hour in ammo, and i'd say 350k-600k gp/hour in hand cannon explosions depending on FM level

Karils Crossbow: 850k gp/hour in ammo, + some more in repairs

Zaryte Bow: ~250-500k gp/hour in repair costs assuming this bow degrades the same way as chaotic crossbow. ~500k gp/hour for chaotic crossbow repairs depending on what kind of combat zone you're in.

Broad Bolt/Crossbow: 120k gp/hour in ammo, if no accumulator, ~500k gp/hour for chaotic crossbow repairs depending on what kind of combat zone you're in.

Rune Dart: 300k gp/hour in ammo, if no accumulator

 

Rune darts look to be the best option here, unless you have the money to justify dishing out 500-850k gp/hour on a hand cannon

Which of course, plenty of people do.

And rune darts are better in Kuradels due to the fast attack speed. In there they have higher raw dps then any other ranged weapon (correct me if I'm wrong Grimy).

 

Keep cannoning everything.

 

As for gear go FSH, fury, avas, black dhide body and chaps, snakeskin boots, barrows gloves, unholy book.

 

Upgrade the dhide to arma when you can, and the snakeskin boots to rangers boots.

 

Kuradels ring in her dungeon, ranger ring everywhere else.

But you shouldnt be slaying in there anyway of course. Unless you have an Abby Demon task. (steels and irons are definately not dartable)

untrue. i find hellhounds, greaters, and gargoyles to be very dartable. you can sorta do blue drags, but its a tossup between crossbow and darts then. but yeah, definitaley a crossbow or metal drags.

 

(small hijack) grimy, do you think d darts w/ accumulator (what im currently using) or karils cross with sw cape is better (using rigor 100%)

[Nifflin]

d darts = rune knives.

 

I think karils is better but I'm not 100% sure.

Agh. I was referring to the fact that there are better places to do those tasks, or its better to not do them at all. If you insist on doing garg tasks (lol) then yes, you can rune dart them there. Hellhounds should be cannoned in resource dungeon. Greaters skipped or cannoned in rev dungeon, Blue drags skipped or cannoned in resource dungeon.
