About training Ranged

Ranged xp scales directly with damage: every hitpoint you deal on the rapid style pays 4 xp, so training is all about maximizing damage output per hour. Most accounts cannon or quest through the early levels, then throw chinchompas at stacked maniacal monkeys from the mid-50s onward, which is by far the fastest (and priciest) route to 99. Budget and AFK players camp sand or ammonite crabs instead, while free players safespot ogress warriors in Corsair Cove for xp plus rune drops.

Did you know: Maxing Ranged the AFK way means one-shotting 54,310 sand crabs at 240 xp apiece, over 320 hours of beach camping, for the same 13,034,431 xp a black chinchompa blitz at maniacal monkeys can deliver in under 20 hours of throwing.
