1)Why go there?

Common situation for a f2p pure training ranged. You reach level 50-55,then nothing seems good-Mossies too crowded,same with hills,Lessers too strong for now,rest is too weak. And ice giants are full of pesky ice warriors,meaning you never see pures there,or rangers in general. With this guide you will xD

2)Equipment and recommendations

50 ranged,55 is even better.

2-3k of bronze-steel arrows,use higher if you can. Also bring 10-20 lobsters or higher.

Hp shouldn't matter,same with melee stats and defence.

Having 25 mage for teleport to Varrock or even better,37 for Falador Teleport. 55 Mage is definitely good as you can alch the goodies there.

For equipment,go for the largest range atk bonus as possible.

Maxed range bonus here i think:

3)Getting there

Remember Thurgo's Peninsula?? Where was that pie loving dwarf and the cave above? Yes,it is right there. Enter,if you can't navigate thru,follow this map,credits to the Tip.It Dungeon Maps. The entire area is single combat.

The red line signs the way,the blue circle the spot you will be in. Got there?? Good,read on.

4)Meet your enemy

Once you get there,you will see tons of Ice warriors-Level 57,they have 59 hp-THE reason for this guide. These will "pj",cause horrible damage vs your 1 def,you will get NO ice giants at all.

Ice giants-level 53,rather poor defences,70 HP. Level:HP ratio is why we are here. These drop Mithril Maces,Black Kiteshields and Mithril Sq Shields.

5)Playing it safe

You are clever dude,but i am getting owned,what now???

This happens all the time if the Ice Warriors aren't non agressive. Hard to put them in non agressive state with the lack of safe spots,hence no rangers and LOTS of higher lvl full runers.

Whatcha gonna do? Go to this spot:

Bit of a bad screenie,but it works. Go one step behind the Blurite Rock,better visible in the next screenie.

Now hit the warriors with your bow and arrows. They will almost never get there,and when you shoot them,they moonwalk and get stuck here:

You can safely range now till they never atk you. Sometimes they go off the icey corner,just lure them back to the blurite rock and they should moonwalk back to the corner. Don't wander too far off once they get non agressive,or they get agressive again and HEAD HERE:

3 giants reachable,totally safe. Joy.

Shoot till your heart's content. You should hit alot with around 55 ranged.

6)Rewards

Good range exp,with easily pickable arrows. Also,Nature Runes,and other alchable goodies. Not that bad for F2P.

Me-Writing the guide

Tip.It -For the Ice Cavern map

To all my friends,xD and to that nice ice corner that makes it all easy.

Hopefully you will find this guide atleast moderately helpful.

i like this guide ( anyway i m p2p XD)

but i thin k some1 has already posted sometime ago

anyway, 8/10

u can also add a full drop list ,, and some other spots to be in

Nice guide, 10/10

Well,i have seen Ice Caves guides,but only for melee or higher def....None on how to safely range these giants on a 1 def account though.

7/10 but well done

In your table of contents you put "Why go there and why?" :wall:

10/10. Excellent guide.

awesome! this was just what i needed 10/10 :thumbsup:

not bad at all but a drop list would top it off! 7/10

sweet, i just made a pure (for fun), this is perfect.

great guide, it will be useful when i train range in f2p. Its better than when i was just finding a spot trying to range the warriors.

good guide, post it several months ago when my pure was ftp ffs.

very nice guide 10/10 keep it up :XD: :thumbsup: \ :pray: =D> :D

great guide, im training there right now :D

nice guide 8/10

but when a random event occurs, (most of the time gravedigger event)

another 15mins will be needed for the warrior not to attack u

u will suffer a lot hp from that.

awesome guide! 10/10

Perfect \ :thumbsup: . 10/10
