Introduction
Ranged is a combat class that allows players to attack enemies from a distance, as does Mage. Thus, the two skills are essential for fighting players who train Melee. Players who train Ranged are referred to as rangers or archers.

According to the combat triangle, Range is effective against Magic, and weak against Melee. Ranger armour provides high defence against Magic, but is relatively weak against Melee. Ranged does however have the advantage of having high accuracy at any level.
Ranged combat, like magic, allows players to attack from a far distance. This makes it possible to avoid taking any damage by hiding behind an object that the player can shoot over but their target cannot get around. Places that this can be done are called 'safe spots'. One common "safe spot" is in the Edgeville dungeon with the Hill Giants. Ranged is a favoured attack choice in PvP combat - it's fast, accurate, and could kill someone in a matter of seconds. Ranged is also found to cost less than Magic depending on the arrows used.
