Range!

[Sqaz]

Hello, I have a question, I have a combat level 40 mage with 50 magic and was told that ranging does not make my combat level go up any. Is this true?

[Chaz]

i'm not sure actully

[Sqaz]

Hmm could you ask around because some noob attacked me in wild, died and lost so much I couldn't even fit it in my inventory.. I alched most of it though except the range things.

[Chaz]

i have 30 range 35 mage and 41 attack n i'm lvl 50

Sometimes does but you would be ownage with 70 range 45 combat lol with 60+ hp ownss

[Sqaz]

I could own you so bad :P I need to find out for sure about the range though because my mage is pure and I don't want to taint the power. That's not your main is it?

[Sqaz]

How often does it advance?

[Mohwar.]

Some guy from forum had a pure ranger and had 80 range he was level 55 or so but u could be ownage trust me on that =]

[Sqaz]

Hmm I don't think I will, it'll only taint my mage Gibe and oh what a nice name gibe is.. good name for runescape look it up in the dictionary :P

[Mohwar.]

But if you got 70 range for example and ur like level 50 you could raise some mage def and prayer

[Sqaz]

but I am level 50 and if I got level 70 range wouldn't that make me around level 60 combat?

Range hardly effects combat. And i mean hardly effects it.
Where you may need 4 melee stats for a combat level, youl need maybe 10 range levels for 1 combat level. So id say go for it

Is ranging expensive?

[Ashley 12344]

Not really. If youve done plague city and biohazard you can get bronze arrows 1 gp ea.

[Sqaz]

That didn't realy help much, are you saying I shouldn't taint my mage? Not realy sure why you were talking about habbo.

I think weve already worked that out.
Dude, whats all your combat levels?

[Arrow Hit U]

I have a level 70 ranged 55 magic 50 attack 48 strength account and its level 48 combat... Basically as long as range/mage is higher than the other, the other wont effect combat until it becomes higher than the other. :confused_

[Sqaz]

So what you're saying is only one will effect my combat, whichever one is higher? Can anyone else verify this? If so thank you for your help Arrow.

That's me. I'm 80 range, but I foolishly got 10 defence when I started the account, then the other day got 11 by accident, put my combat up. I'm now 59 combat. :'( The lowest combat you can be with 70 range, unless you use a cannon, is 48. If your magic or melee stats are higher than your range, it won't put your combat up, it works the same way around. If you have high range, your attack, strength and magic don't put your combat up. Defence and prayer will. If you plan on making a pure ranger, just get range up, not defence or prayer, nor mage, attack and strength until you are 70 range if you want the best results. Most people make their character a hybrid after getting 40 range, but if you wait you can get your strength much higher, giving you an advantage.

u aint josh.. u werent the guy with 80 range n 55 combat

[.:rare.:.trader]

don'#t trust what no one sais just wait and see wot it sgoes up 2:D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[Sqaz]

my mage has 30 defence I think and only defence, I will not be raising strengh attack or prayer. I have a level 15 I think guy with pure strength and I think has some attack but no defence, should he be the one I train mage?
Question, when traing range you work on strength not defence?
Question, Just for my 100% assurance. my mage pure defence and magic, level 50 magic, if I get 49 range, just keeping defence my combat wont raise at all correct?

Range:

Won't get your combat level up as long as you had Attack and Strength Levels

Pure Rangers could get to 70 range and be able to train to 40-60 In Strength or Attack

if you wern't a Pure Ranger

Say you had

50 Str
50 Atk you could train up to 1.5 of both levels so you could be 70 range? or So I'm not that good at Maths ;)

[Sqaz]

So I should use my account 5i? the account that was going to be a pure pker before I discovered magic.. he has no defence only attack and strength.. He's only around level 15 I think, didn't realy bother with him after all my mage fun..

[Rizla]

u aint josh.. u werent the guy with 80 range n 55 combat

Thought he meant me, because I posted my stats a few days ago.

So I should use my pure pker, only stats training are strenth and attack. Do they both need to be raised to prevent leveling up from range?

Use a calculator

www.rsbandb.com (http://www.rsbandb.com)

go on calculators then combat, enter your stats and it tells u how many lvls of each thing it will take to give u a combat lvl

That has nothing to do with what I'm trying to do. Should I pure my pure mage or pure pker to use range? as long as my attack and strenth are higher then my range my combat level wont advance, correct?

[Sqaz]

See when I attack, my defence goes up causing me to advance a level. Does my defence not go up when I'm using range?

[Rizla]

Your defence won't go up when you use range, as long as you don't use longrange.

[Aiden$]

my range is 77 and my hitpoints 70 lol

[Rizla]

My range is 80 and my HP 69, 3k from 70 :) And I'm not even 60 combat.

[Sqaz]

So from the information I've listed, 50 magic 30 defence 0 attack, 0 strength (gibe), or 19 strength, 14 attack, 0 defence (5i), which one should I train range with?

[Sqaz]

I think I get it, I'll train 5i the one who was going to be my pker into a ranger using the first and second attacks.
