Ranged Strength



Ranged Strength is one of the Equipment Stats. It is shown in the equipment screen on the 2007 servers, as that feature was added on 31 July 2014. 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. The Crystal bow is the only weapon to provide its own ranged strength stat, as it makes its own arrows. Darts, knives, Javelins, Chinchompas and red chinchompas.

Below are the ranged bonuses of ammunition. Note that damage is also affected by the speed of the weapon used. Rune knives deal damage very quickly, despite having a max hit of less than 20 damage. For this reason, Most ranged weapons are better used in rapid stance. Accurate stance will deal more damage per hit, but it is not worth the decreased speed. If accuracy is needed, A slower weapon such as a crossbow will provide the needed improvement, while dealing more damage to compensate for it's slower speed.

Because cannonballs are fired from a dwarf cannon, and not directly from a cannon, they do not have a ranged strength stat. Cannonballs have a max hit of 30 regardless of the player's ranged level, although their accuracy depends on the player's highest attack bonus, regardless of whether it is slash/stab/crush/ranged/magic. It will take into consideration the highest attack bonus of one of those.
