(Off-topic: Hello everybody, I am the same Just Somebody from earlier, the one who did . I have come out of sin. Nice to be back in Sal's) From what I gather, ranged has shifted radically for p2p at the time that I was inactive. However, I am f2p, and things have not really changed - it is still bow and arrow, or pathetic peashooter known as the crossbow. With the launch of dungeoneering, the most powerful weapon I can get is the sighted maple longbow. I had thought that it would be, but I Had a member who said that"longbow neglects" period. So I feel the topic merits further evaluation.

Here is the information I gathered so far: Shortbows fire somewhat less than twice as quickly as longbows, and I'm pretty sure both are on rapid. Ranged stat bonuses are irrelevant to max strike for variety - only range lvl and metal over the arrow issues. Watching a person with lvl 60 range, iron arrows, sighted maple longbow, did not create damage that has been spectacular by any means I comprehend. The counterargument is, high ranged stat bonuses higher average harm, which can translate into faster kills over time.

And seriously, here is a point of theory: why a scimi (or even a rune sword, for that matter) defeats the battleaxe is that it can hit twice at time a battleaxe hits once. Assuming somebody hits max 150 using a b'axe, the scimi can strike 2x130 or even 2x100 at cheap RuneScape gold precisely the same period of time and beat the harm. This point is much stronger from the shortbow-longbow question, since the longbow does not even hit harder than the shortbow. The dice are more significant than ever - if a shortbow strikes for at least 50% of the maximum hit every moment, the longbow can't match it even scoring max hits on every shot. Pardon the big words, and thanks ahead of time.

If you've got a 200k budget, I advise you to consider: Sacred clay helm. Sacred clay platebody. Sacred clay platelegs. Mystic boots. Finest RFD gloves. Explorer's ring. Your best cape. I also highly recommend you get 70 Magic so it is possible to utilize Black Salamanders. Otherwise use slayer dart with a god book, and take a melee weapon in your devise, equip some affordable bolts (broad), and have a crossbow in your devise (such as Ahrim.) .
