Ok, I have noticed as everyone that 70% if not more of the RS players on the F2P Worlds are combat players with the regular full armour and sword. So i decided that beng like everyone else was becoming quite boring... so I have thought about it and really want to get into ranging and archery as an F2P player. The only problem is: my level is too low and I dont knoe where to start. Overall Im only lvl 31 combat but my ranging level is a measley 3... I mean thats horrific. So I have tried to level up a few times but end up wasting over 1k on supplies (I only have 117 K right now) and almost dying except for the fact that Im carrying lobbies everytime I "attempt" to level up. so i dont knoe what to do, should i wait till I have a good amont of money or just go for it and also anything additional about other stuff relating to ranging and archery would be helpful

YES! GOT ANOTHER ONE! Lol, I'm a big ranger, I luvs it lots, and it's good that you're going ranger, if you ever switch to p2p you can own like, everyone ;o. But at level three, just buy bunches of bronze arrows and whatever the highest bow you can use is, and just go shoot like, chickens or cows until level 10 or so, upgrade your bow and then...oh bugger, I don't know )_( sorry, f2p was a long time ago for me, but definantly do the cow/chicken thing to level 10, or higher, like, 15-20 if the boredom doesn't kill you, but it's worth it. Good luck!

i was f2p when i first got ranging up. go to the cow pen south of varrock and stand by the quick-access. kill a cow, run over get the stuff, run back. do that until u get strong enough to fight them 1 on 1.

I don't know why everyone is recommending cows. I used chickens for training low range and here's two good reasons why.

1. Fastest f2p prayer xp. In f2p the chicken coop across from lumby is the fastest way to get prayer xp. So many new players eager for a few quick gp kill chickens, take the feathers, and leave the bones. I learned this trick late, yet I got 43 prayer before I got 50 combat.

2. Merchant Feathers. Again, many new players want fast cash. While running around, picking up bones and burying them, buy feathers cheap. You can start with as little as 2k gp. Buy feathers at 3gp or less. Kill chickens when not busy burying bones and buying feathers. That's how I made my first 100k and I was ignorant of forums at that time. I sold so many feathers at 5 ea, I could have made so much more.

1. Cows drop the same bones

2. Hides are 100 each.

SUPER EXTRA NUMBER 3: Cows have more hp, therefore less clicking/easier to get exp.

never shoot anything that you can 1 hit with range, big waste of time in changing mosnters to shoot/picking up arrows drops.

True, but you have to run all the way to the bank. Feathers are stackable and you just stay in one place.

At level 3 range, he's not going to 1 hit them.

The thing I liked about the coop is picking up bones everyone else left behind, and so very close together. Usually I spent more time picking up bones and burying them than ranging. So it's a very good way for a f2p to increase prayer.

My prayer is 62 now and I haven't done the ectofunctus or shade burning things outside of the quests. I just bury every bone on the spot. Ya, even the regular bones, even dragon bones. I just range a lot, high alch the good stuff, and don't bank often.
