March 16, 201214 yr So i am going to be doing some ranged training while doing slayer tasks and wanted to know what kind of setup would be good. A.e. What gear should i be wearing (requiring minimal quests)Should i be using darts, throwing knives, a bow, crossbow? Also what kind of ammunition should i be using? Any and all tips would be very helpful, thanks.
March 16, 201214 yr A rune crossbow with broad bolts is god for general slaying, rune/dragon darts for kuradals dungeon if you have access. For a good gear setup, it really depends on how much money you are willing to spend. Armor is pretty much Arma>black dhide, unless you can afford the armor from Nex (the name of the ranged set is escaping me right now). Boots should be range>snakeskin, and gloves should be culinaromacer gloves 9, or black dhide vambraces if you dont have 9 or above. Ranger ring and amulet of ranging if you can afford them, then DFS/zammy book in the shield slot, though both are quite expensive if you dont already have them. This guide is also a good place to start. Its a little dated, but should work fine still for you. Just check the ranged section, the 4th tab i believe, and it will give you as basic overview of range slaying.
March 16, 201214 yr Range slaying is really slow especially at your level. You are better off with meelee + cannon.

March 16, 201214 yr Karil's crossbow is the most powerful weapon for ranged slayer on mid-high defence, rune knives (dragon darts for cheap) on low defence and on medium defence in Kuradal's.

March 16, 201214 yr i happen to read up on this quite a bit, and it all depends on what monster you get as a task, for the most part i use black dhide or a blessed set, arma book, snakeskins, range ammy or fury (depending on what it is) and darts for lower, rune c'bow and broad tipped bolts for higher, the thing is i can afford armadyl (iv had it like 10 times) but i only use it for bosses really, and if its something you need to pray on i use mitre and god cloak, but the best info i can give in general, otherwise you'd have to be more specific iOwn....
