[[Range]] is a [[combat]]-related [[Skills|skill]] that | [[Range]] is a [[combat]]-related [[Skills|skill]] that allows players to deal damage from a distance using bows. Training Range increases your accuracy and damage output when using these weapons, and also provides some [[Hitpoints]] [[experience]] with each successful hit. | ||
Ranged combat is especially useful for "safe-spotting" enemies—standing behind obstacles such as rocks or half-walls to avoid taking damage while continuing to attack. This makes Range one of the safest and most efficient combat styles, particularly during low-level training or when fighting tougher enemies. | |||
As part of the "[[Combat#Combat_Triangle|combat triangle]]", Range tends to perform well against opponents using [[Magic]], since a high Range bonus also improves your resistance to magical attacks. However, [[Strength|melee]] users can still be dangerous if they manage to close the gap. | |||
Several pieces of [[equipment]] enhance ranged performance, including: | |||
* [[Emerald Necklace]] – modest Range bonus | |||
* [[Gold Emerald Necklace]] – significantly higher Range bonus | |||
* [[Helmet Of Ranging]], [[Archer's Gloves]], and [[Archer's Boots]] – strong boosts to ranged stats | |||
