Archery Competition Guide

Submitted by tzpsky on Tue, 06/26/2007 - 11:58.

The Archery Game in the Ranging Guild is the place to go if you're looking for Ranging Experience and prizes for the points you make. Just remember, the game can be found in the Ranging Guild, so you'll need at least level 40 Ranging to enter!


Getting Started

The Ranging Guild itself can be found a short distance southwest of the Seer's VillageA map of the ranging guild and north of Ardougne. A Ranging Guild Doorman will be guarding the door, and only those with a Ranging level of 40 or higher may pass.

Ranging Info

It also appears that the higher your Ranging level, the better you'll do at the competition. You'll hit the targets more often, and you'll earn more points by being more accurate.

Before making your way to the competition, be sure to bring enough cash. Each game costs 200gp, and you'll need to pay each time you want to play again. It's a safe bet to bring around 2,000gp, as the game can often get addictive!


The Competition

At the southeast end of the guild, you'll find the Archery Competition. Speak to the Competition Judge and he will tell you that you can take part in the Archery Competition. You must pay 200gp in order to enter the competition each time, so be sure to bring as much money as you need!

Talk to the competition judge

Tell the judge that you would like to try, and then give him the 200gp. He will give you 10 Bronze Arrows to use in the game; equip them and walk over to the nearby Hay Bales.

Runescape Game Improvements

Submitted by tzpsky on Tue, 06/26/2007 - 11:46.

Ever got frustrated when you couldn’t right click and quick bank with Gundai? Ever wondered why the Monks of Entrana have memory loss and search you every time? These are but two small annoyances which have been changed as part of a collection of disparate but subtle alterations to the Runescape game - all suggested by you, the players!

In the first of our ‘Improvement Project’ updates we’ve bundled together a whole host of little additions to the game that many of you have suggested. Most of these are improvements to existing features, adding new detail or extra benefits. We have identified many more in addition to these, so there will also be a steady flow of them coming out over the coming year.

In the first batch we have additions that range from useful to humorous Runescape gold.

First up, we’ve rebalanced the crossbows to make them a really appealing option for rangers. This means that your crossbow will fire faster and hit harder. We’ve also made grapples tradeable at every stage in their construction. It was a bit odd having them untradeable as soon as you add a bit of rope. Onyx bolt tips bought from the TzHaar are also cheaper now. With all these adjustments, we feel that the crossbow is a really viable choice for the discerning ranger.

We’ve also rejigged the combat selection so now you’ll stick to the same fighting style after you log out. This means that when you log in again, you’ll automatically use your preferred style - no more defending yourself by hitting someone over the head with a staff when you have plenty of Runescape gold!
