Help with a ranger...

Featured Replies

My long time RL m8 asked me if I had any rs2 pkers. I said no, asking him why. He told me he wanted to pk with me on rs2, and that he had a ranger (1 att, def, str) that's 65 ranged. He wants me to match it, so we can pk it up with the same stats.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Anywho, I spent a couple mins, made a quick 600k, bought heaps of bolts to train with, bronze-steel arrows. After 1 day, i got 33 ranged, but it's going pretty slow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I got p2p on my account, so my question is, what's the best places to train ranged and at what levels?

I mostly range at the varrock guards in the upper floor of varrock castle, there are fences where you can stand behind and enough guards ;)

With 1 def you can use dragonhide chaps and vambraces. (green is 5-6k, blue 15k and red and black 25k per "pure set").

 

 

 

Good and cheap armour is:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Coif - (100-500gp)

 

 

 

soft leather body - (100-200 gp)

 

 

 

power/glory ammy - (8-10k/50-60k)

 

 

 

best dragonhide chaps and vambraces - (5-25k)

 

 

 

Normal cape/wildy cape - (50 gp)

 

 

 

boots of lightness - (free, need to have started temple of ikov quest, no requirments to start it)

 

 

 

No ring/ring of life (4-5k)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You could also use some other items with 1 def. But they are really expensive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Robin hood hat - (4-4.3 mil)

 

 

 

Ranger boots - (around 2 mil)

 

 

 

Archer ring - (1.3-1.45 mil)

 

 

 

Obby cape - (250k)

Stronghold of secirity minotuars.. there is a fence to range them

Hey Nicrune007 , Whats Your Username?

twss.jpg

99 Ranged on 2/6/07 99 Hit Points on 9/5/08 99 Defense on 26/4/08 99 Attack on 14/2/09 99 Strength on 25/2/09 99 Slayer on 13/9/09\:D/

If you have p2p, you should go to pest control after you hit 50+.

 

 

 

I trained my pure from 55 to 70 there in one week. Faast ;) If you're not member, you should shoot hobgoblins at the crafting guild.

@pansy, I just skimmed through the guide. It SUCKS.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's what I did:

 

 

 

Cows: 1-20

 

 

 

Pked:20-35

 

 

 

Lvl 2 Stronghold of Security:35-Now(56) It's a small room to the EAST, with 3 Giant Rats and 2 Flesh Crawlers. Stay in the middle and range the Flesh Crawlers, their 23 hp so about 100 exp per kill and are an EXTREMELY fast spawn.

 

 

 

Have fun ::'

The ladder on level one will take you a floor lower, to level 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I gained from level 1 to 40 on cows in a day and a half.

Ok.. let me rephrase that...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Where is the building located on the map of RuneScape?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I play rsc.. we don't have any of that fancy stuff

Do you know where the Barbarian Village is? I can't get a picture now... west of Varrock and south of Edgeville. Use the handy world map in the game screen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Stronghold of Security is in the center of the Village, shown by an exclamation point on the map. Just find the hole in the ground, surrounded by coal and tin rocks. Explore through it, but don't go too far - there's some dangerous stuff, especially for a pure with 1 defense.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Try killing minotaurs - they're on the first floor you arrive on. You'll figure the place out easy enough, as long as you're not a half-wit.

Blackarch is actually right, its a bad guide. And I'm 80 range, I know a bit more than you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Small guide

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

F2P version

 

 

 

1-10, kill cows or chicken for this

 

 

 

10-40, Minotaurs are good for up to 40 and you can end up with alot of arrows. Always stay with iron arrows

 

 

 

40-60, now I can't really remember this portion, Guards would do well here

 

 

 

60-75, Moss Giants are your best bet here

 

 

 

75+ Lesser demons

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

P2P version

 

 

 

1-10 cows or chickens

 

 

 

10-40, minotuars are excellent here

 

 

 

40-60 experiments or rock crabs here

 

 

 

60-70, Personally I pced here, however Ogres in King Lathus training camp are excellent exp

 

 

 

70+, Fire Giants in waterfall are excellent exp here or if you have 65+ slayer and have got to smokey well part in DT, Dust Devils are the way to go as they are not as crowded as Fire Giants

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I reccommed using iron arrows or iron knives for rock crabs. 80 range and I still use iron arrows, inexpensive and fairly good due to more accuracy than Bronze. They can be bought on fourms for 25gp each, its the average price I've seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stronghold of Security is marked by a ! in Barbarian Village, you'll see a rock with a big hole in it, climb down there.

If i was u i would probably go training on minatours in stronghold of security start with the lvl 12 ones then once u have like 50 range move onto the lvl 27 ones thats what i do i have a pure ranger with45 range another reason y u should do this is because minatours drop iron arrows so all u need to start out with is like 100 iron arrows and by the time u have 65 range u will have more than 1k iron arrows probably oh and 1 more thing make sure u always use rapid it fires faster and i think it hits just fine ok 1 more reason u should range the minatours is because there are barricades that minatours cant get past

Ignak2.gif

Why make it more difficult for yourself?

 

 

 

Cows in crafting guild from level 1 - 40. Easy.

 

 

 

40-50 on minotaurs. (collect arrows)

 

 

 

50-60 lessers.

Ok, I've been training on the goblins (level 5, 11, 13). These minatours you all speak of... how is it possible that they won't attack me while I range them?
