F2P Ranging Advice

Featured Replies

Looking for a good spot to train my range up to about lvl 68. I have level 54 ranging and 54 health and will be wearing full dhide. F2P. Looking to not use to much food. Any suggestions on where to train and about how many arrows this will take if I pick them up?

if youre wearing full dhide, then you have access to crandor. great place to train range either on the 2 lessers north of the cave entarnce, or the 3 moss giants south of the island. probably the best spots for range in f2p period

Looking for a good spot to train my range up to about lvl 68.

 

I have level 54 ranging and 54 health and will be wearing full dhide. F2P.

 

Looking to not use to much food. Any suggestions on where to train

 

 

 

I trained my ranging up to 80 on the 2 lessers on the top of Crandor Island.

 

If you do it right, you don't need any food at all.

 

 

 

I always hit the lessers with a Curse spell to pull them over to my safe spot.

 

It doesn't matter if the Curse fails or not. The idea is to pull them over to you.

 

After they die, their loot and your arrows are all in a nice tidy pile in front of you.

 

You, normally, never take any damage at all from them.

 

 

 

...and about how many arrows this will take if I pick them up?

 

The master ranging formula is:

 

ArrowsNeeded = ExpNeeded*(1-p)/(2*Maxhit)

 

Where p is the portion of arrows that you pick up and is about 0.75

 

and Maxhit is the maximum hit for the arrow type for your level.

 

The formulas for Maxhit by range level and arrow type are, roughly

 

 

 

Bronze = (Range+14)/9

 

Iron = (Range+15)/9

 

Steel = (Range+14)/8

 

Mith = (Range+13.5)/7.5

 

Addy = (Range+16)/7

 

Rune = (Range+18 )/6

 

 

 

So, for a range level of 54 using iron arrows, we have

 

Iron Maxhit ~= (54+15)/9 = 7.6 ~= 7

 

Exp Needed = 15764

 

ArrowsNeeded = 15764*(1-0.75)/(2*7) = 282 iron arrows

 

 

 

So, I would bring, maybe 300-400 arrows.

 

 

 

You might also want to bring teleport runes to teleport to Fally or Lumby

 

as well as Hi-Alch runes for the occasional rune med or mith chain.

 

 

 

There are safe spots on the North and East sides of the Lesser area.

 

 

 

Hope this helps.
