Ranged Power Leveling

Pay attention to that a shortbow fires arrows faster than a longbow. How often you inflict damage depends on the value of your ranged attack of your equipment and the ranged defence of your opponent. This also applies in the reverse situation; how much you get hit depends on the value of your ranged defence.

Wielding a better bow or wearing special leather armour will increase your ranged attact. Ranged Defence works in the same way. For example, scorpions naturally have good solid body armour which would be hard to hit. How hard you hit increases with a higher ranged level and better arrows. A higher ranged attack only affects how often you hit.

Different types of bows give different ranged attack boosts; you need to have a higher ranged level to wield the better ones. The Magic Longbow and the Magic Shortbow also have the advantage of having special attacks. The special attack for the Magic Longbow has a 35% drain rate and shoots an arrow with a chance to hit higher than normal. The Magic Shortbow's special shoots two arrows extremely fast and has a 55% drain rate.
