Ranged

Ranged is a skill in RuneScape Classic that is levelled by shooting ammo at monsters or other players. Using ranged, players can attack enemies from a distance but ranged cannot be used in combat.

Ranged, like magic, influences your combat level as you level it higher.

Bows
Bows are made using the fletching skill and are two-handed.

Crossbow
Like bows, the crossbow fires ammo but instead of arrows, it shoots bolts. There are only two crossbows in RuneScape Classic, only one of which can be purchased at the Varrock archery shop. The other is the Phoenix crossbow, which can only be received from the Shield of Arrav quest, through trade with other players, or from a general store, if someone has recently sold one there. The Phoenix crossbow is rumoured to be more accurate than the standard crossbow, although both have identical stats.

Ammo
Arrows and bolts are made using the smithing and fletching skills.

Players cannot wield arrows. Having the arrows in the inventory while wielding a bow will allow the arrows to be fired. The higher levelled the arrows, the more damage they inflict against opponents.

Darts
Darts are made using the smithing and fletching skills but can only be made after completing the Tourist Trap quest The higher levelled the darts, the more damage they inflict against opponents.

Throwing knives
All throwing knives except Black are made using the smithing skill. Throwing knives can also be used in melee combat. The higher levelled the knives, the more damage they inflict against opponents.

Equipment
RuneScape Classic offers no equipment which raise the ranged bonus.

Dwarf cannon
Dwarf cannon is a powerful weapon, which fires cannonballs. You must complete the Dwarf Cannon quest to have access to it. Dwarf cannon cannot be used in player killing.
