Ellac Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Bane ammunition is fairly good I hear, you unlock it during Rituals of the Mahjarrat quest. I can't tell you much more since I can't do the quest myself. :P. You could also use broad-tipped bolts or some of those fancier enchanted ones, depending on what you kill, paired with a rune cbow. Or a handcannon and ammo. If you can afford it, I hear zaryte bow is also decent. But chances are if you can afford one of those it would be better to train range with a cannon or chinning (or both!). Lastly, I would advise against range-slaying unless you're dead-set that you'll only train range via slayer. I already mentioned that you could chin, and you could also just cannon tasks for slayer while meleeing and then chin for the last few levels/xp. As for gear, use either elite void or if you don't have that then the best range-boosting armour you have, such as black dhide. Shield should be an Illuminated Unholy book, switching it out for other shields where needed. Thanks to Iglw for the amazing signature! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 my best advice would be to just chin it all and do slayer with melee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evita_deade Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 it is so expensive to chin @ the moment road to max cape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troacctid Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Knives and darts complement the Ferocious Ring nicely, so you should use those against the lower-defense monsters in Kuradal's dungeon. Blisterwood stakes are actually great against vyres. Bane bolts are...okay against dragons--not better than melee, but if you're going to use ranged, they'll be better than any other ranged option. Nechryaels are chinnable in the Chaos Tunnels. Most other tasks, you'll just be using a rune crossbow with broad bolts, or maybe a hand cannon if that's what floats your boat. And there's always the ol' cannonballs, of course, which you should make liberal use of. If you don't have Armadyl, it'll just be black d'hide, since Void is obviously no good and there aren't really any other options.

JPMC Mate Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Hellhounds, Greater Demons, Gargoyles (all in Kuradal's Dungeon with knife), Blue Drags, Metal Drags (also all in Kuradal's Dungeon), Black Demons (with cannon and ranged), etc. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base. Also, re-read what you just said: one 15 second delay (which is an exaggeration to begin with) ruins floor times? You are beyond ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghjkl Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 range is never comparable dps to melee on slayernot even darts in kuradal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMC Mate Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Honestly, it does not matter to him ghjkl. He wants to range slay so stop talking about it. For the record, btw, in her dg, it is, so you're wrong there. Really? Cause as I recall it was you who was the one cussing me at base.

Quyneax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Rune knives with rigour, overload, void in Kuradal's: max of 299.Rapier with turmoil, overload, Bandos in Kuradal's: max of 690.

Knives are twice as fast. Rapier is more accurate. Rapier wins.Well, it's not quite that simple, since that doesn't take into account the ferocious ring mechanics...the flat damage increase to every hit favors faster weapons more than slower ones, so you can't just add 40 to the max hit and get an accurate DPS from it. Plus rapier has more overkill, knives lose attack ticks if you pick up drops, FSH with range armour is more accurate than Void, the numbers change significantly based on stats and gear (not relevant in this case, but it matters if we're making blanket statements), and is it even worth overloading on greater demons? I mean, IIRC, the rapier is still better DPS at maxed stats, but that can't be the right math to prove it.

Quyneax Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Aye sorry my bad. The correct way would be 339 damage per 4 ticks average vs. 365. Full slayer helmet would make it more accurate but the max hit would be lower as well. It's not 'worth' overloading greater demons per sé, it's just a pain to withdraw extremes from my perfectly even stacks of potions :/.
