Range

Ranged is one of the three combat classes in Katagon. It involves using bows and crossbows to take down opponents, and wearing armour based off of various monsters' hides. The Combat Triangle dictates that Rangers are strong against Mages but weak against Melee fighters.

Ranged Attack
To the left of the Inventory button is the Equipment menu. From here, players can view their combat stats. Ranged weapons increase in accuracy as the minimum Ranged level, required to wield the bow, increases. Ranged armour does not hinder the accuracy of Ranged weapons, nor does it improve Ranged accuracy. However, wearing a piece of Melee or Magic armour piece, instead of the Ranged counterpart, reduces the effectiveness of Ranged combat.

Ranged Shop
All the beginner's equipment is in Raum Urda-Stein's shop, located west of the Slayer Master in Yanille.



Ranged Weapons
Bows are the original ranging weapon, and require two hands to wield.

Crossbows are weapons that are well-liked by rangers, generally due to bolts having more damage than arrows and because some crossbows are faster than bows and can be wielded with a shield or other off-hand weapon. They use bolts instead of arrows, some of which can be gem-tipped, or enchanted for a chance of a special effect when striking.



Ranged Armor

 * Leather armor is good for beginning rangers. It is very cheap and can be made with the Crafting skill. Leather armour can also be bought at the Grand Exchange.
 * Spined armor is Fremennik armor designed for rangers. Spined armor can be bought from the Grand Exchange.
 * Dragonhide armor is the most popular ranging armour. Green, red, and black sets are available to wear with the required Defense and Ranged level. Players can also use Crafting to make dragonhide armor from tanned dragon hides.
 * Players have a chance at aquiring Karil the Tainted's equipment, by killing the Barrows brothers, as a possible reward from the Barrows minigame.
 * Armadyl armor is obtained by killing Kree'arra in the God Wars Dungeon, and is considered the second-best Range armor.


 * The Pernix set is obtained as a possible reward from killing Nex in GWD, and is considered the best Range armor.
