RuneScape Pure Range Guide

This is the ultimate guide to pure range. No non-combat skilling or food is required and it takes 1-2 weeks playing a few hours a day to get from 1-70 ranged.

STEP ONE: Make your character on tutorial island and train your range level to 3. After that, log out and set some recovery questions just incase.

STEP TWO: After completing tutorial island, go to the house beside the lumbrige guide and go down the ladder. Then talk to Sir Vant and offer to kill the dragon and he should give you two experience lamps. Use both of them on range. Then proceed the barbarian village, and there if you are in a populated world, there should be many people fishing trout and salmon. Just ask for 10 cooked trout/salmon as you will need them to get the fancy/warrior boots along with the 10k. After you have gotten the food, go down the ladder in the middle of the barbarian village and complete the levels until you get to the end and get the boots. If you are having trouble, you can just go online and search for the fastest routes to the end of each level. After you have gotten the boots and 10k, go to the underground tunnel where the cockroaches are, (just above barbarian village) and read all the signs. Proceed upstairs and write the safety test. Hopefully you passed:) unlike me who actually failed it many times. If you passed, you should get two experience lamps, each giving 500 exp to any stat. Use them both on range and you should have around 13 range with 10hp. Then you should go down the ladder into the evil lair of the cockroaches, but dont worry they arn't agressive:). Find the GIANT chest and take the 10k with the safety gloves.

STEP THREE: Now that you have 20k, you dont need to skill for more money unless your going to train attack to 40 which is quite expensive if your not a very good pker and die a lot like me. Sell all the stuff from the tutorial island and buy all the necessary materials. I think all of them are leather chaps, leather vambs, leather coif, leather body, studded chaps, a crossbow with 1000 bronze bolts and 1000 bronze arrows with a willow shortbow. Start off using the crossbow and it is reccomended that you power range becuase bolts are only 2gp each.

STEP FOUR: Now there are several places you can start off training where you wont need food. If you like having runescape money, (im not one of those people), and you would rather train slower with tons of money for later, you can kill chickens in lumbridge and collect the feathers, or range cows behind the fence and pick up the cow hides. Another option, if you want to skill and make money is you can power range on cows behind the fence, or on level one of the barbarian stronghold on the goblins through the first gate. Power ranging is where you just shoot without picking up the arrows. Do this until 20 range, as this shouldn't take too long.

STEP FIVE: If you have any leftover bolts, sell them and take your 1000 bronze arrows and willow shortbow along with your new studded chaps and head over to the good old monks. Range here from 20-30 range, and just heal on them whenever you have low hp. If your lazy like me and dont like to click, you can just leave your arrows on the ground, but this should go rather quick. When you are done, sell the remaining arrows.

STEP SIX: You should have around 12k cash left. Now, there are a few options you have. If you like skilling, or have a stat that is already a pretty decent money maker, you either make money by skilling, by combat, or just keep training without making money because you wont need any non-combat skills in this guide. Now buy 2k bronze arrows with the remaining cash and a maple bow. Now go back to barbarian village to the level 27 minotaurs and range them from behind the wall. Collect ALL the iron arrows, and this is the part i really stress ALL if you dont have any non-combat skills to make money for you.

STEP SEVEN:After you have 40 range, sell ALL your iron arrows to the grand exchange. They usually never sell during the day, but it is assured that they will sell overnight. With the cash you have made, buy dragonhide vambs and chaps and a coif and sell ALL your equipment that you previously used except for the maple bow. With the remaining cash, buy as many bronze arrows as you can. Now you will be training on hill giants from 40-50 range, so you will need to buy a brass key. Again, no food is needed as there is a safespot on the farside wall where you can range from behind the jagged rocks. It is required that you collect all the big bones if you haven't skilled for money and bank them every time you have a full inventory.

STEP EIGHT: Now that you have 50 range, sell ALL the big bones for cash unless you are a skiller and want to bury the bones. Then buy as many bronze arrows as you can, leave 500 in your bank, and head over to the cow field beside the crafting guild. Here you will be power ranging from 50-70 range, meaning you will rapid shoot without picking up your arrows. Oh no, but not on cows, you will be power ranging on the hobgoblins across the river. Again, no food is required and this will go really quickly. Once you run out of arrows, take the 500 bronze arrows from your bank and go back to the hill giants and kill them until you get enough money for 10k bronze arrows, which should only be about 5-7 inventories. Then head back to the crafting guild and power range hobgoblins again. Repeat as many times as necessary, and if i am not mistaken, i believe it is about 60k bronze arrows (60 000) power ranging from 50-70 range.

STEP NINE Now that you have 70 range and 48 combat, you are able to hit 12 with adamant arrows, and you have 1 in all your other combat stats, there are a variety of things you can do. You can PK (player kill) just for fun like I did to test my pure out, and it worked amazing because he owned. You can train your strength and range/2h like I did after I had my fun pking. Another thing you can do is skill for money if you need it, which probabely most people will do after this like I did right after i got 70 range. Or you can do whatever the hell you want. Be a tanker, (range+defence), train prayer, do quests, walk around, quit runescape, ANYTHING!

NOTES: - dont use warrior or fancy boots from barbarian village because it decreses your range bonus and always use your range gear to make the training go fast. It might not seem like it, but in the long run it saves you time.

NUMBER ONE RULE: HAVE FUN. PLEASE TAKE REGULAR BREAKS AND DONT GET FRUSTERATED. TAKE PKING BREAKS IF YOU WANT.
