Skill Overview

Ranged is one of the three combat classes in Ascenda. It involves using bows, crossbows, blowpipes, and thrown weapons to damage opponents from a distance, and Ranged armour can mostly be made from animal hides. Players who specialise in this skill are known as rangers or archers.

The combat triangle dictates that rangers are strong against mages but weak against melee fighters.

The ability to attack from a distance means that a player can safespot a melee monster while fighting from safety. Keep in mind that some melee monsters have high Ranged Defence, so a high Ranged level may be needed. Crossbows are useful against monsters with high Defence, as they are very accurate.

Players can toggle whether they want ammunition on the ground to automatically be equipped or remain in the inventory when picked up by talking to the Ranged combat tutor.

Ranged Attack Style

Range Attack Style

Image	Mode	Description
	Accurate	Increases your Ranged accuracy, making attacks more likely to hit your target. Best used against enemies with high Defence.
	Rapid	Reduces your weapon's attack speed by one game tick, allowing you to attack faster. This is the preferred style for maximizing damage per second (DPS) in most situations.
	Long range	Increases your attack range and shares experience between Ranged and Defence. Useful for attacking from a greater distance or training Defence alongside Ranged.

Ranging Cape

A player performing the ranging cape emote.

The ranging cape is a Cape of Accomplishment awarded to players who have achieved 99 Ranged. The skillcape and its respective hood can be bought from Aaron the Armour salesman in the Ranging Guild for 99,000 coins. When the ranging cape is equipped, it grants players the ammo-saving effects of Ava's accumulator. Completion of Animal Magnetism is not required to benefit from this perk.[1] By default, the cape will only provide the 72% ammo-saving effect of the accumulator, not the improved 80% savings of Ava's assembler. However, Vorkath's head can be used on the cape to increase its ammo-saving rate to 80% to match the assembler (an assembler cannot be used as a substitute). This consumes the head, and will upgrade all ranging and max capes currently in possession or purchased in the future. Note that upgrading the cape does not give it the ranged strength and accuracy bonuses of Ava's assembler.
