In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels. The cutoff is approximately level 40. {{Skill|Ranged|Longrange}} should likely be used before this cutoff to also get an amount of {{Skill|Defence}} XP! | In general, {{Skill|Ranged|Accurate}} is more effective at low levels, while {{Skill|Ranged|Rapid}} is more effective at higher levels.

For the earliest parts of the game, it is recommended to stick with Longbows, since Arrows are the most plentiful ammo source. Javelins are more powerful than bows, and can be used if you want to powerlevel a bit, but the effort it takes to make enough for each level bracket is more than the effort required to just use arrows. Additionally, {{ItemIcon|Ice Arrows}} are equivalent to {{ItemIcon|Rune Arrows}} while not having a level requirement, and so can be used from {{Skill|Ranged}} level 1. If you can comfortably fight {{MonsterIcon|Frozen Archer}} with your {{Skill|Melee}} setup, these can carry you through training ranged without even looking at {{Skill|Fletching}} | |||
