Earthman Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 After I'll max melee, I'll slay with range until I hit 99 range. I'll also be using a cannon. Now I just don't know what gear to use. I was thinking of using this gear: I don't really know what weapon to use, I could switch out the weapon, but I think the armor is the best for ranging. Thanks in advance. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JmmyV2 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Use a Karil Crossbow for high defence tasks, and rune knives/dragon darts for low defence tasks. Chaotic crossbow is overkill in terms of accuracy, and horribly slow. Edit: For things with really low defence, use void over fsh. The ~5% damage increase is usually better than a load of accuracy.

Leon S Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Knives are pretty expensive. Whenever I range slayed I would use either a zaryte bow or a chaotic crossbow + runite bolts. The high accuracy makes your cannon more accurate as well, which is useful. What is your Magic and Summoning level if I may ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crabman27 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Dragon darts are a nice alternative to rune knives, they're a fair bit cheaper. Also dont forget the +40 damage boost in kuredals (spelt wrong I know) with rings. Swift gloves might also be a nice if you want to invest the time.

Earthman Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 95 Magic and 83 Summoning, I have 86 or 87 Summoning banked though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon S Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I would get 99 Magic first before ranging. Use a cannon on every task possible for some good range experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quyneax Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Glaiven boots would offer 2 more ranged attack. I wouldn't use an unholy book with ccbow, unless you were using bane bolts or dragonstone bolts (e). Karil's deals more damage than rune bolts afaik.
