Hi everyone,
I created this topic to know wats is the best thing to wear for fast ranged xp

I'll be 73 in range when ill be member

tell me the best armour for ranged att bonus
and the best weapon (crossbow or bow)!!

[Ballin]

I have to say c'bows r the best cause u can wear shields with them.
I dont know wat best range armor is... But i would say Karils

[OnYx Jester]

At 73: Full black d'hide, glory, archer helm, rune c-bow, God book and snakeskin boots. If you have the Barrows gloves from Recipe for Disaster, use them as they have a better range attack bonus (I think Dragon does too.)

If you want you can use a Mage short, the bonus doesn't change that much.

EDIT@ABOVE: Karils is practically a rich mans version of black d'hide. It cost more and you need to repair it. Not worth wasting you money on it.

Thank you verry much i think ill go with black d'hide and rune crossbow
but wat should i use as bolt(are steel good??)

[OnYx Jester]

Mithril ones are pretty cheap and do more damage, esp. the enchanted ones that poison, but if you only want to buy steel there is nothing wrong with that.

[Ballin]

I see high levels using mith bolts, If ur semi-rich then i suggest using emerald(e) bolts because they can poison.

[tha_d0gg]

Thank you again  
for your help

If you really want the BEST outfit for ranging, meh,

Full Range 3rd Age
Fury
Rune Knives (p++)
Snakeskin boots
Ava's Accumulator, (not attractor)

Mkay?

[Joe Schmoe]

For all-purpose ranging armor, go with black dragonhide. If You can afford it (sans the crossbow it costs around 900K), Karil's without (barrows version) crossbow has a slightly less range attack bonus than black d'hide, but it's magic defense is considerably better, which works better for meleeing monsters with magical attacks (infernal mages, pyrefiends, etc.) than the black d'hide does. It's physical defense is considerably worse however, but since most People who range use safe spots this is irrelevant.

Rune 'c bow
Black d-hide or Karlis
Ranger or d boots
I'm to sure what kind of bolts i don't range-try onyx bolts

While pking bring:
Manta rays
Range potions(4)
Rune 'c bow
Black d hide or Karlis
If you plan on standing there and fighting them wear d boots/if u plan on running around and attacking use range boots.

Note: if your rich enough replace your Karlis and black d hide with 2erd age range.

[turkeyboyag]

This is my setup:
Zamorak d'hide coif
Gnome amulet of defence
Ava's accumulator
Rune crossbow
Book of balance
black d'hidebody
Black d'hide chaps
Black spiky vambracers
snakeskin boots
ring of wealth

[Zephyr]

Armadyl is better than 3rd age.  But im assuming its out of your price range.  Ranger boots are also better than snakeskin, but snakeskin is far cheaper.

Nope, Ranger Boots > Snakeskin. Also why Rune Knives over a Rune C-Bow?

[Serendipity]

For training purposes.

Full range void, accumulator, archer's ring (i), ranger boots, fury, iron knives, zam book.
Alternatively, replace knives with chinches for 350k+ range exp/hour.

For decent pking without risking huge amounts of cash.
Netiz, full black d hide, b gloves, snakeskin boots, rune c bow, zam book, accumulator, broad bolts (same as addy, but cheaper than mith.)
