Ranged Strength



Ranged Strength is one of the Equipment Stats, a bonus to specific stats based on what is equipped. It is NOT shown in the equipment screen on the 2007 servers, as that feature was added on 25 march 2009. This article is intended to remove confusion as to which ammunition deals more damage. One example is iron bolts vs bone bolts. The ranged strength stat shows that bone bolts are better, even though their level requirement for use is lower. Ranged strength can only be affected by the type of ranged ammunition you are using and a few select pieces of weaponry (crystal bow, sling, kayle's sling, boogie bow, and zaryte bow), as they do not require ammunition. Chinchompas and red chinchompas do not require a weapon, such as a crossbow, as they are the weapon and ammunition themselves.

Below are the ranged bonuses of the ammunition. Note that damage is also affected by the speed of the weapon used. Rune knives deal a huge amount of damage per second, despite only dealing 1-7 damage with each hit.
