Get your first two bows (level 5 lets you use {{ItemIcon|Oak Shortbow}}) from the {{MonsterIcon|Ranged Golbin}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Golbin Village}}, and use the {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} from the {{MonsterIcon|Frozen Archer}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Icy Hills}}. These are almost as strong as {{ItemIcon|Rune Arrows}}, which you can start to use at level {{Skill|Ranged|40}}, but are much easier and cheaper to farm, and can be equipped from the very beginning. | Get your first two bows (level 5 lets you use {{ItemIcon|Oak Shortbow}}) from the {{MonsterIcon|Ranged Golbin}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Golbin Village}}, and use the {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} from the {{MonsterIcon|Frozen Archer}} over at the {{ZoneIcon|Icy Hills}}.

Literally all your next upgrades, except if you go out of your way to get the {{ItemIcon|Yew Longbow}} from the Holy Archer at level {{Skill|Ranged|40}}, will come from the {{ItemIcon|Bandit Chest}}. At level {{Skill|Ranged|30}} you can upgrade to the {{ItemIcon|Maple Longbow}}, at level 50 you can use the {{ItemIcon|Magic Longbow}}, and finally you will get to use the {{ItemIcon|Redwood Longbow}} and the {{ItemIcon|Ancient Longbow}} at levels 60 and 70. | Literally all your next weapon upgrades, except if you go out of your way to get the {{ItemIcon|Yew Longbow}} from the Holy Archer at level {{Skill|Ranged|40}}, will come from the {{ItemIcon|Bandit Chest}}.

Once you get into higher levels you may consider using the {{ItemIcon|Adamant Arrows|Adamant}} (worse than {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows|Ice}}), {{ItemIcon|Rune Arrows|Rune}} and {{ItemIcon|Dragon Arrows}} you’ve collected from the {{ItemIcon|Bandit Chest}}. If you’re farming {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite}} for food you may also use {{ItemIcon|Ancient Arrows}} in {{Skill|Ranged|ranged combat}}. | An alternative (but less efficient) route for early ranged training is to kill {{MonsterIcon|Thief|Thieves}} in the {{ZoneIcon|Runic Ruins}} for [[Ranged#Throwing_Knives|throwing knives]], which, due to their higher attack speed and inherent 15% ammunition saving, can help with early training. | ||

Most of your ranged armor upgrades will come from the {{ZoneIcon|Spider Forest}}, moving through {{ItemIcon|Green D-hide Body|Green D'hide}} at level 40, {{ItemIcon|Blue D-hide Body|Blue D'hide}} at level 50, {{ItemIcon|Red D-hide Body|Red D'hide}} at level 60, and finally into {{ItemIcon|Black D-hide Body|Black D'hide}} at level 70. Upgrading ranged armor is much easier than for melee armor, as you can buy {{ItemIcon|Leather}} from the shop, which can then be used to buy {{ItemIcon|Green Dragonhide|Green}}, {{ItemIcon|Blue Dragonhide|Blue}}, and {{ItemIcon|Red Dragonhide|Red}} dragon leathers for upgrading their respective armor tiers. Alternatively, killing dragons in the {{ZoneIcon|Dragon Valley}} can provide all chromatic dragonhide, including {{ItemIcon|Black Dragonhide|Black}}. {{ItemIcon|Ranger Hat}} and {{ItemIcon|Ranger Boots}} are a nice bonus for saving ammunition while training, but after level 70, ammunition will be plentiful thanks to {{MonsterIcon|Raging Horned Elite|Raging Horned Elites}}, so they aren't necessarily worth the time to grind out. | |||
