OSRS Ranged training guide

Ranged combines single-target weapons, Cannon damage, Venator Bow ricochets, and Chinchompa area damage. Projectile type matters against modern light, standard, and heavy defences.

Quick tip: Planning 99 Slayer? Use Cannon and Venator Bow during Slayer before paying for a dedicated 99 Ranged grind.
