'''Ranged''' is one of the ten [[Dragonwilds:Skills]] in ''Runescape: Dragonwilds'' and is one of the three combat styles. Fighting [[Dragonwilds:Monsters]] using ranged combat levels a player's Ranged to vain various bonuses that enchance their effectiveness with the skill.

Players use [[Dragonwilds:Ranged weapons|Ranged Weapons]] in combat to earn Ranged experience. The higher the tier of the weapons and ammo used, the higher the base damage and, thus, the more experience earned.

In addition, players can gain experience from [[Dragonwilds:Skill Tome - Ranged|Ranged Skill Tomes]] and the [[Dragonwilds:Tome of the Dragon Slayer]].

==Equipment==
===Weapons===
[[Dragonwilds:Ranged weapons|Ranged Weapons]] can be divided into three major classifications:

* [[Dragonwilds:Longbow|'''Longbows''']] require [[Dragonwilds:Arrows]] and must be drawn while aiming, providing players with an advantage in long-range combat. Fully drawing the bow takes more time than shortbows but provides higher base damage and an additional damage bonus. Attacking without aiming will instead use a [[Dragonwilds:Melee]]-based attack to push away close enemies.
* '''[[Dragonwilds:Shortbows]]''' require [[Dragonwilds:Arrows]] and can be drawn without aiming, allowing players to release arrows in close combat quickly. Shortbows have lower base damage than their longbow counterparts but have an increased firing rate.
* '''[[Dragonwilds:Crossbows]]''' require [[Dragonwilds:Bolts]], are optimal at short distances, and fire quicker than shortbows. They are also a one-handed ranged weapon, allowing players to utilise [[Dragonwilds:Shields]] to [[Dragonwilds:Parry]].

===Ammunition===
* '''[[Dragonwilds:Arrows]]''' are used with [[Dragonwilds:Bows]] and can be modified to apply [[Dragonwilds:Debuff|Debuffs]].
** [[Dragonwilds:Weapon Barbs]] applies [[Dragonwilds:Bleed]].
** [[Dragonwilds:Weapon Poison]] applies [[Dragonwilds:Poison]].
** [[Dragonwilds:Fire Oil]] applies [[Dragonwilds:Burning|Burn]].

* '''[[Dragonwilds:Bolts]]''' are used with crossbows and can be enchanted with [[Dragonwilds:Gems]] using [[Dragonwilds:Magic]] for added effects.
** [[Dragonwilds:Enchanted Bronze Bolts]] use [[Dragonwilds:Opal|Opals]] and provide a chance to apply a knockdown effect.
** [[Dragonwilds:Enchanted Blurite Bolts]] use [[Dragonwilds:Jade|Jades]] and provide a chance to apply an area-of-effect damage.
** [[Dragonwilds:Enchanted Iron Bolts]] use [[Dragonwilds:Jade|Jades]] and provide a chance to apply a knockdown effect.
** [[Dragonwilds:Enchanted Steel Bolts]] use [[Dragonwilds:Red Topaz]] and provide a chance to recover [[Dragonwilds:Lifeward]] .

===Armour===
[[Dragonwilds:Ranged armour]] provides a base defensive stat but also provides a stacking passive bonus, the more of the same combat type (i.e., melee, ranged, mage) you equip. Players can mix and match within that type. For example, a player wearing a [[Dragonwilds:Ranger Hat]] (ranged), [[Dragonwilds:Green Dragonhide Body]] (ranged), and [[Dragonwilds:White Platelegs]] (melee) will get the second tier of ranged set bonuses and the first tier of melee set bonuses. The ranged armour set bonuses are:

* 1/3 -40% stealth speed
* 2/3 -33% ranged attack stamina cost
* 3/3 +25% weak point damage

==Boosts==
Players can consume [[Dragonwilds:Potions]], eat [[Dragonwilds:Food]], or equip [[Dragonwilds:Trinkets]] to increase Ranged experience or increase damage and, indirectly, the experience.

* [[Dragonwilds:Sweet Veg Ball]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 5 minutes (300 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Wild Pie]] - Grants a 10% XP boost for 10 minutes (600 seconds)
* [[Dragonwilds:Inspiring Amulet of Ranged]] - Provides a 5% XP boost for Ranged while worn
* [[Dragonwilds:Amulet of Accuracy]] - Increases critical damage by 12.5% while worn

==Experience mechanics==
Players who deal regular damage will receive <math>0.25 \times damage\ dealt</math> experience depending on the maximum health of the enemy. Players who deal critical damage will receive <math>0.5 \times damage\ dealt</math> experience, depending on the maximum health of the enemy. For example, if a player deals 88 regular damage to a [[Dragonwilds:chicken]], the player will only receive 5 Ranged experience, since the maximum health of the chicken is 20 hitpoints (20 hitpoints x .25 experience factor = 5 experience).

==Levelling==
''See [[Dragonwilds:experience]] for a table of the experience required to reach each level.''

Levelling Ranged grants access to both passive benefits as well as unlocking [[Dragonwilds:Spells]] and other abilities.
