Ranged

From the Pantheon Wiki

Ranged allows you to attack from a distance using bows, crossbows, and thrown weapons. It offers an accuracy stat, strength bonus from ammunition, and unlocks powerful equipment tiers from shortbows up to the Twisted Bow. Many endgame bosses are significantly easier with high Ranged.

Pantheon notes: Chinchompas offer the fastest XP once available. For bossing, the Twisted Bow excels against high-Magic targets like Nex's Magic phase. Toxic blowpipe is the go-to training weapon from 75 Ranged. At 150x rates, Ranged 99 is achievable in one or two dedicated sessions.

Training methods

Base XP values match the original. Pantheon applies a 150x multiplier — multiply any base value below by 150 for in-game XP.

LevelMethodLocationBase XPNotes
1-40Iron / mithril arrows on shortbow — Sand CrabsHosidius, Zeah30Cheap and effective. Pick up arrows between kills to save gold.
40-70Rune arrows / Maple shortbow — Slayer tasks with cannonSlayer task locations60Using a cannon on tasks massively accelerates Ranged XP. Requires Dwarf Cannon quest.
70-85Toxic blowpipe (mithril darts) — Nightmare ZoneNightmare Zone, Yanille150Blowpipe heals as it attacks, making it semi-AFK with absorptions. Fastest Ranged XP before chinchompas.
80-99Red / black chinchompas — Ape Atoll dungeonApe Atoll Underground1500Chinchompas hit 3x3 AoE. Red chins at skeletal monkeys give the fastest Ranged XP in the game — expensive but unmatched.
85-99Slayer (blowpipe / crossbow) — Nieve / Duradel tasksTask-dependent180Productive dual-purpose method. Prioritise Ranged tasks (Dragons, Wyrms, Hydra) for best XP.
