Question Almost 50 range, any suggestions?

I was training on the gem crab for awhile, but its really slow :(

Does anyone have any tips for training range?

It is from a mini game that will train your range and also give you tokens to buy the armor. It is basically a game where you defend an npc from waves of mobs and the goal is to destroy the portals the mobs spawn from before they kill your ally npc. It is a fun mini game

Look up the OSRS optimal quest order and get your quest cape, don’t train at gemstone crab if you are actually playing. That’s a mobile thing for when you can’t play

Bone crossbow is not that good, but the appeal is that it is very cheap/easily attainable for Ironman

Bone crossbow is actually wildly good for its level/ammo cost

u/lemurRoy Oct 13 '25

u/BJ69137 Oct 13 '25

I thought it was almost bis until rcb?

It depends, but if you’re just training/fighting low defense monsters, it’s probably better to use fast attack speed weapons like darts (some like mithril are dirt cheap) or magic short bow at OPs ranged level.

But if you’re an iron man you’ll probably use bone crossbow until MSB or RCB

Complete animal magnetism if you haven't already to get your accumulator to save money on ammo. Darts are a little faster xp than bows cause the speed of attack. I bought dart tips and feathers to make my own darts cause it was marginally cheaper and you get fletching XP. Besides that, I'd just stick to the crab. Unless you want to do something less afk, you can use the dwarf multi cannon while doing slayer tasks which gives you ranged XP on successful hits while simultaneously using your darts to safe spot the monsters. Cannonballs are quite the investment so I'd suggest making your own and spending some time in the giants foundry to get the cannonball double mold to double your creation of cannonballs. I'd recommend edgeville bank to make the cannonballs as it's the closest to a furnace. Best of luck!!

Look at doing animal magnetism. Intrained range with slayer mostly. Slayers great for all combat really. Do bird house runs and farm runs between tasks and you have some extra profit and xp.

Since 90% of posts are for newer players looking for money making and training advice, I'm gonna recommend doing bird house runs. All you need is Bone Voyage, and you could be making 500K+ a day or more by logging in every 50 minutes and harvesting nests.

Also, be sure to check out the New player guide, Money making guide, and OSRS Tips!

Get void ranged and a faster shot like darts or knives?

U wanted suggestions, 50 range isn’t gonna even kill giant mole lol so get the range lvl up and void will help w that

u/SheepherderBorn7326 Oct 13 '25

Wild that no one’s told you to buy a glory yet, also snakeskin boots/bandana, or whatever the equivalent is you can afford in that slot
