Starter tips to keep in mind
-Always wear the best d'hide you can buy. Don't waste money on god armors (unless you have millions to spare) and don't buy karil's, black d'hide is better than karil's anyway. Unless you have nothing else to do with your money (like me ) then don't buy armadyl either. It's good but the extra (10ish) range bonus isn't worth the extra 24m unless you have hundreds of mil.
-Crystal bow is a blue dragon killers friend. If you are killing blue drags for experience/money, I recommend you use the crystal bow and range them in Gu'Tanoth Dungeon. The bow is accurate and powerful and at the 130k a recharge stage the loot far outweighs the greatly increased kill speed and experience.
-Knives! Knives! Knives! Bronze knives are only 13-14gp each and are fast and powerful (for bronze weapons ). For monsters like ogres or places where you can't or do not want to pick up your ammo (i.e Pest Control, Ogre Pen) knives are your friend. Cheap + Mediocre Power + Fast = Happy Face
These are especially good if you have void knight ranger because the extra damage bonus on bronze knives is a phenomenal one.
-Your Using Rune Arrows??? Use Steel or Mithril arrows when you can pick up your arrows, it will cost less.
-Broad Bolts. Roughly equivalent to mithril bolts (perhaps slightly stronger) these bolts are cheap and powerful. Use them for higher leveled monsters like Aviansies or Fire Giants.
-(PKing Tip) Dark Bow!!! Yes we all know and the love 48, 48 decent of dragons at 99 ranged. The ability to one hit all but the highest level players is very exciting. When using a dark bow to pk, bring a rune c'bow and emerald enchanted bolts to use as damage dealers, then finish them with a Descent of Dragons. Many people start with Descent of Dragons, and this is fine, but you are more likely to get a kill when they have less than half hp left because you can't rely on a max hit every time.
-(PKing Tip) If you don't like the dark bow or don't want to risk it, try a rune c'bow with onyx(e) bolts or dragon(e) bolts.

1-15
What to Wear
Since you are just starting your journey to Range training to 99, you won’t really be able to wear and wield any special types of armor, bows, or arrows. Just grab a standard bow and an Oak bow, iron and steel arrows, and some hard leather armor. If you are a member, you can grab some spined gloves and boots, with an Archer’s helmet, if you have 45 defense and have completed Fremennik Trails. The reason you need a standard bow, Oak bow, and both iron and steel arrows, is because at level 5 you can switch from standard and iron arrows, to an Oak bow with steel arrows. It just saves you a trip to the bank if you wish to keep training and get the most Range experience as possible.
Where to Train
When you start following this Runescape Range guide and begin training at level 1, you have to start slow. You are going to want to train on Hobgoblins until you reach around level 15. There are two recommended spots to train on Hobgoblins. The first spot is near Lumbridge, right across the bridge that leads towards the gate to get into Al Kharid. Once you cross that bridge, take a left and there will be Hobgoblins all around the walking path and in the hut to the left of the walking path. The second spot for hobgoblins is west of Varrock and southwest of the Grand Exchange. If you head west out of Varrock, walk along the path and before you cross the bridge entering into Barbarian Village, TAKE A RIGHT THERE AND THERE WILL BE HOBGOBLINS
16-50
What to Wear
Continuing on with this Runescape range guide, for Levels 16-50 follow the skill guide, which is provided once you click on your Range skill icon, to see what you can wear after you achieve each level, until you reach 50. Once you reach 28, you can finally use a Bone Crossbow with Bone bolts (if you are a member). These crossbow and bolts are very cheap and hit hard as well. You can use these from here on out until 99, if you decide to do Pest Control. If you decide to use Red Chinchompas, you can at least use these up to level 70+, depending on when you start using Red Chinchompas. However, we will get into those levels on the next page. Armor for training these levels is up to you. Look at the guide by clicking on the Range skill, in your stats section, and pick out stuff based on what level you are in Range. You don't need to worry about defense bonuses for training these levels, because you will be hiding behind a wall to train to 50.
Where to Train
My favorite place for great Range experience, and also Magic experience for lower levels, is under the hut at level 28 Hill Giants, located west of Varrock, southwest of the Great Exchange, and north of the Hobgoblins. You need a brass key to get in the hut, but you can buy one at the Great Exchange for around 160 gp. Once in the hut, go down the ladder. When you get down in the tunnels, head south all the way until you hit a wall of bones. There is a spot where you can hide behind the bones and attack the Hill Giants, without them even hitting you! You can, if you wish, collect the drops. They often drop Limpwroots, which if collected from level 16-50, could make you some good cash. Once you achieve level 50, you can now move onto the next section of this Runescape Range guide.
Level 50-70
What to Wear
Now that you are level 50+, you can advance in your Runescape range training techniques and you should be wearing either blue, red, or black dragonhide armor, based on what level you are. You should still be using the Bone Crossbow and Bone bolts, and you can decide to wear any other type of gear for defense bonus or range attack bonus. You don't have to worry about dying, since the best way to train these levels is at Pest Control.
Where to Train
For these levels of this Runescape Range guide, I would say the best way to train is at Pest Control. Although you might hit low and get slow experience while actually playing the game, you will get fast experience from the points you earn. Use all your points for range experience and it shouldn't take you too long to level up. You will get faster experience than you would just training on monsters, as long as you get into a good world where the boats are winning. Another reason this is a good place to train once you hit 50 is because you can't die and lose your items! Plus... you earn money every time you win! Could you ask for anything more?!?!
To get to the Pest Control Minigame, head to Port Sarim located south of Falador. Go to the Squire and take the boat to their outpost. It costs nothing and you'll end up on the island where Pest Control is located. Once you get there, there will be 3 different boats, pick the boat based upon your combat level and start killing monsters! Make sure to get at least 50 hitpoints of damage off the monsters, or else they say that you haven't proven yourself worthy of points and money. Collect points and turn them in 100 at a time. Doing this will get you more experience than turning one or ten points at a time.

Runescape Range Training from 70-99 Range
Once you get to 70 Range, you really come to a fork in this Runescape Range guide. You need to make the choice to whether you will continue doing Pest Control to get to 99 Range and even make money from getting the skill cape, or do you want to go the fastest way possible and spend some money, in order to get 99 Range in only a couple of days. The next two sections of this Runescape Range guide will explain both ways to get 99 Range, in order to help you make the decision for which way to get the skill cape is right for you.
OPTION ONE
Level 70-99 : Pest Control
What to Wear
To train at Pest Control past 70, you really should get the full Void Range set up, which includes the gloves, top, bottom, and the Void Ranger Helmet. You can obtain these by turning in points you earn playing Pest Control to a Void Knight. Total, you will need to obtain 850 points to get the full setup. You can keep using the Bone Crossbow and Bone bolts if you have been using them; however, like said before, if you have 55 Slayer, you can choose to use Broad Tipped Arrows, which is highly recommended as they deal tons of damage! If you are serious about getting 99 Range fast, you should get Broad Tipped Arrows, as Bone items will hit less.
Just keep playing Pest Control all the way to 99 Range. You might want to join a Pest Control clan so you can always find good worlds. Just log into a Pest Control marked world and you should see people advertising many different clans for many different leveled players. If you don't get into a Pest Control clan, it might be hard for you to get 99 Range with Pest Control, because often the best worlds that win every single time are not the worlds marked as "Pest Control Worlds" by Runescape. Clans will often times go to a non-marked world to get away from lower level players. That is why, if you can get into a PC clan, you can ensure 99 Range to come fast by getting into those secret winning worlds!
OPTION TWO
Level 70-99 : Red Chinchompa Guide
For the Red Chinchompa guide, you are definitly going to want full Range Void armor, and every piece of armor that will give you Range attack bonus. Some items recommended are the Ava's Accumulator, Amulet of Fury, Ranger boots, and Archers ring. Of course these are not mandatory; however, you will be spending tons of money getting 99 Range with Red Chinchompas, so you will need all the bonuses you can get to get the highest hits possible, resulting in the most experience earned per Chinchompa possible.
In your inventory, make sure to have a couple of food items, one teleport tab to Varrock, and the rest should be Prayer Potions. I usually take about three Monkfish and 24 Prayer Potions for each trip. Each trip you can use about 2-3k Red Chinchompas. The number of Red Chinchompas needed is different for everyone; however, you can plan on spending 25-30 million gp if you start from 70 and go to 99!
