Range Weapon Progression

Intro:

For this guide, I'm not going to cover Items that have no unlock requirement like quests so that you can just go to the grand exchange and buy it.

Arrows are used for ammunition with bows. They do not affect the accuracy but do add damage bonuses. A higher level arrow adds more damage but can make ranged combat very expensive. The type of bow wielded may limit the amount of damage that arrows add. For example, if a tier 50 bow is used with tier 60 arrows, the damage added by the arrows will not be tier 60 but rather tier 50 (i.e. the level of the bow). Non-members cannot use Saradomin, Guthix, Zamorak, Dragon, Dark or Araxyte arrows. All arrows except for the God arrows and Araxyte arrows can be fletched by members.

Bolts are used for ammunition with crossbows. They do not affect the accuracy but do add damage bonuses. A higher level bolt adds more damage but can make ranged combat very expensive.  The type of crossbow wielded may limit the amount of damage that bolts add. For example, if a tier 70 crossbow is used with tier 80 bolts, the damage added by the bolts will not be tier 80 but rather tier 70 (i.e. the level of the crossbow). Gem tipped bolts can be enchanted using the Enchant Crossbow Bolt spell.

People tend to go have the idea to go straight for a tier 90 weapon and get tier 80-90 armour after but then struggle with mid to high level bosses which they wanna kill to make money to buy the weapon. They tend to think is because their weapon is too weak or not high enough levels or they're not skilled. But most of the time the trouble isn't the DPS its the survivability so I would suggest getting a tier 80-87 weapon and tank armour like death lotus until you can afford a good weapon and Armor.

 

When To Buy T92 Weapons?

When you have nothing else to literally buy as listed below:

  1. Got all T90 weapons and armours perked fully

  2. All jewellery 

  3. Max cape

  4. All the other ability codex's

  5. All the prayer codex's

  6. If you have done all this then start with buying the weapons then armours last
