Umanyar Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ever since I created my first account, I have always wanted rang3e to be my first skill. Ive pushed it, and dropped it for melee numerous times, but now I feel like getting it to 99 before the EoC update. Obviously, I have a decent amount of experience ranging, but I was looking for some different ways to train besides range slayer (dont hate, I love range slayer). And no, I refuse to chin (partly for cost, but mostly because I think chins ruined the skill). So what are some other ways besides the norm to get some decent range xp? Im looking for my fun ways than just xp/hr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Paul Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Any particular reason you want the cape before EoC? Range slaying (I don't mean cannon here.. using c'bow/knives) seems like it will be quite good after the update, and that is always fun, especially since you like slayer. You can always try out aviansies, I guess. Not sure how the bot situation is there, though. Not exactly great xp/hr. Working on max and completionist capes. 2435/2475 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnTheCop Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 i assume your trying to stay away from cannoning aswell? then your best shot is to find something with low defence and high hp (range slaying, lrc, ect), or something you dont have to click alot doing.

Umanyar Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 I just feel like getting it finished before the update, not sure why. And Aviansies were overloaded with bots when I was there doing some arma a while back, plus i did 70-85 there, so its super lame and boring for me. What im really looking for are methods besides the usual, like maybe a minigame that has decent xp (besides pc), or a monster that is just fun to kill for whatever reason.

JohnTheCop Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 if you like sc you could get sc coifs there for double xp while training, its not the most efficient but it dulls the pain of training for some people incuding myself "Happiness depends more on the inward disposition of mind than on outward circumstances."Benjamin Franklin "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quyneax Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'd go get dragonbane bolts, other than that, void and such should work if you practice. You don't need a lot of attack bonus, as her defence is abysmal.

Syd Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 The Queen Black Dragon offers good ranged xp, great profit and it's something else. Absolutely yes. I've been doing QBD lately to finish my melees, but I also tried to range it and found it to be easiest way to kill it. Just check some youtube videos and you should do fine. Also, if you haven't already done, do Song from the Depths quest if you plan to kill QBD. It reduces queens damage quite a bit, and makes it alot easier to kill. Don't worry about dying, it's great exp nonetheless, and you can recover your items in 2 minutes with Port Sarim lodestone. :) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannneh Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Queen Black Dragon is a simply AMAZING exp method, expecially for range. Though, in simple terms. If you can't kill TzTok-Jad, you can't kill the Queen Black Dragon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
