Christian (or should I call you Useph?)

Useph.

Okay, thanks for the tip. I guess I'll stick with Iron. And after reading what Christian (or should I call you Useph?) said, I've decided to not waste Tokens on Sight, since I barely use range. XD

I would never waste my tokens on sights, not that it's a waste I'm just not a ranged person. As far as the name, most of the members want to call him useph, but he wants to be called Christian. I call him Christian so you can go either way.

The only time I'd buy a sight is if I was going to use it in very high level combat in f2p. In members there are simply better weapons (although it will give the magic longbow +140 range, the most accurate weapon in the game), but rune arrows only hit about 260 at 99 range. The bolts I train with using a Rune Crossbow will easily hit about 400 at 99 range. Typical PKing bolts hit over 550 at 99 range. I think you see the point.So for f2p, if you're going to be fighting other players, especially those in strong armor, you'd want one. Keep in mind, if you're going to take the time to get a sight, get adamant arrows too.Also, keep in mind that the sight should not be used in dangerous PvP combat (like PKing), as you WILL lose it if you die, it protects over almost nothing.Either way, in your case, I'd save your tokens and buy something else .

I'm putting a pin on this, just in case a massive swarm of new guides floods in soon.

Good guide but I just find training range quite annoying to pick up my arrows everytime.Also to get to 1-99 range what would the estimate be for how many bronze arrows I would use.

do the quest animal magnetism and you wont have to

Also to get to 1-99 range what would the estimate be for how many bronze arrows I would use.

Wrong philosophy. Who cares? Buy 10,000 arrows and see where that gets you. If you're really going hardcore buy 50,000. Take it one step at a time.If you really care about an estimate, I'd say that not picking up arrows, you'd use 300k-500k bronze arrows. Picking up arrows is a waste of time, so don't bother with it. If you're a member do animal magnetism and it will happen for you. But as a member you're better off training with bronze knives than with bronze arrows.

USEPH! (Or Christian) THE BEST GUIDE MAKER IN HISTORY! NUMBER 1 ON GOOGLE FOR 99 RANGED GUIDE. HE'S BACK! WITH THE .......... GUIDE!No honestly you should make another one!

[PunkChick]

Christian, i thought i might add that mirror shields have a +10 range bonus, although they don't provide much in the def category :S. I still find it a bit more useful than losing some range though IMO.

Would you recommend Zanik's Crossbow? It has a good special but since you are the range expert, I thought I'd ask you.

[Matthew]

I don't know how I missed this guide for so many months of being active on the forums... It's probably the best Range guide I've ever read I need to use this since one of my goals is to get 70 Range. Thanks Christian

Personally, for training I wouldn't use it. I'd use steel+ knives, as they're faster. Although, I think the bone bolts are pretty cheap, so in that respect they're good.

[TGxXLiteXx]

I really like your guide! Will be using this for my range training for sure!
