The top OSRS Ranged Gear currently available depends on whether or not you're an F2P or P2P player.
In this post, we'll take a look at ranged gear for free play and subscribing members.

We also provide information on how to get the equipment, how much it will cost, and the best way to use it.

The most convenient way to acquire equipment that is ranged is to purchase it directly through our OSRS Items marketplace. You can also buy some inexpensive OSRS Gold and get your equipment on the Grand Exchange!

Which Ranged Gear is the best for F2P players?
Green D'hide as well as an Maple Bow are the best range equipment
To be able to equip it, you will require at least a range of 40 levels.
You will require around 10K gold to purchase the equipment
Other requirements are not required
Range gear isn't available to F2P players. Similar to melee gear, you'll reach the cap at level 40. P2P members are only allowed to use equipment that is higher level.

The gear listed below should be bought when you reach 40 levels.

Coif
Cape
Amulet of power
Maple bow
Green d'hide body
Green d'hide chaps
Green d'hide vamb
Leather boots
Everything at this price point is incredibly inexpensive. A basic cape is more effective than a team cape. They have the same benefits, but they are lighter than the 0.4kg capes for teams.

Adamant arrows are recommended at this stage. They are the best choice for players who play F2P. Each arrow is worth around 70 gold, meaning that it could be the most expensive part of your gear.

Even if you purchase 1,000 arrows you will still pay less than 100K.

Remember that rings don't offer any benefits, so this slot is unsuitable for F2P players.

F2P players don't have any other gear and it's so inexpensive that there's no reason to shop for other range gear.

Which is the best Ranged Gear for players in P2P?
Armadyl is the top range gear that comes with an additional gear
Additional equipment includes Twisted Bucklers, Pegasian Boots, and Barrows Gloves.
In order to wear this equipment you must be at least 75 in defense, and in range.
You'll need around 180 million gold
A less costly option to 1.3 million is offered.
You may have special requirements for specific gear.
The gear options available to P2P players are vastly increased. This set is the best.

Most gear can be purchased from the Grand Exchange. However, some items require additional requirements.

In the beginning, we'll examine the equipment you can buy directly from the Grand Exchange without any requirements.

Necklace of Anguish 16M
Dragonstone dragon bolts (e) - 1.6K each
Armadyl Crossbow - 32M
Armadyl Chestplate 42M
Armadyl Chainskirt - 34M
Armadyl helmet - 4.5M
Pegasian Boots - 36.5M
Twisted Buckler - 10M
The total cost for this gear without accounting for the bolts is 175 million. It's not cheap, but it is very expensive.

If you're short on money, a cheaper alternative is available below. The gear you choose to use is two levels lower than the gear above. This gear is only equipped if you have 40 defense and 70 ranged.

Guthix Coif 75K
Guthix Dragonhide 130K
Guthix Chaps 90K
Guthix Bracers 6K
Guthix d'hide boots - 900K
Amulet of Glory - 12K
Black d'hide Shield 18K
Crossbow rune - 10K
The total cost for the equipment is 1.3M which is more than 10 times less than the first option.

Once you have completed the first set of base gears It is now time to switch to the second gear. You will need to have specific requirements for the gear below.

Barrows Gloves
Archers Ring (i).

It is essential to upgrade the accumulator in Ava to gain her assembly. It is only available after you've completed the Dragon Slayer II quest. You'll need to speak to Vorkath to upgrade the accumulator. Vorkath will give you 75 mithril Arrows, as well as the accumulator, or 4,999 GP. Vorkath can be found in Draynor Manor.

To get Barrows Gloves, you must complete the Recipe for Disaster quest. You need to have at minimum 175 Quest Points in order to complete the quest. Once you have done this, you can purchase gloves for 130K at the Culinaromancer's Chest in Lumbridge Castle.

To obtain the Archers Ring (i), first you need to purchase the standard Archers Ring at the Grand Exchange for $4.6M. You can then put it in the form of 650,000 reward points from Nightmare Zone.

If you're not keen to invest the time, you can just use the basic Archers Ring. If you cannot spend the money, you can opt to not bother with the item altogether.

You will be able to have the best available stats for range if you collect all the P2P gear we have chosen. Your character will have the ability to range attack and gain +236.

We offer several options below for alternative choices for gloves, capes and ring slots.

If you are unable to pay for the Archers Ring, another option is to buy the recoil ring that is cheap. This ring only costs 1.2K but it will be able to deflect as much as 40 hit points of destruction before being destroyed. It's a potential game-changer in PVP.

For PVE the best option is undoubtedly the ring of wealth. This ring costs 14K and it gives the player better drops when fighting monsters.

We'd recommend getting the Ava's Assembler item If you're not interested in putting in the time then you can opt for the Infernal cape or Fire cape. If you're not interested, the ranging cape is a good option. No other capes will offer you any benefits that are ranged.

The Spined Gloves can be a more affordable alternative to the Barrows Gloves. They need 50 defense and offer +4 ranged attack and defense.

The Armadyl gloves are available for purchase at the price of 2.7M depending on the money. These give you an extra 11 ranged attack as well as +1 Prayer. The Barrows gloves are, on the other hand offer you +12 attack/defense
