1000th post is in a runescape thread and will be the most geek post to. WOW2ME
anyway phatuis click the spoiler, yes it is long lol
SPOILER: Range 2h Guide
Attack the monks, and when you and on low hp talk to them and ask them to heal you. It should only take you around 2 hours to get to 40 range.
From 40-50 range, you train at the Barbarian Village Hall, This should take a few hours, so be patient.
From 50-60range get a key and go down to hill giants and get them from safe spot bring a lil food
From 60-70 range, buying 1-2k mith, and head to karajama. Go to the safe spot near the lesser demons and kill lesser. This should take from 2-3 hours, and remember to bring a full lob pack.
After all this hard training (Few days) you should be 70 range, 49 cb. Get yourself str ammy, iron scim, steel scim, black scim, mith scim, addy scim and rune scim. Now head back to good old monks =)
First train attack to 30, this will take around 1 hour. The reason you get 30 first up and not 40 is because it will be a good fallback not to accidentally train attack levels.
Now train strength to 50. Bring decent food and to to Alkharid. The warriors there are perfect prey and good exp. Train to 40 attack, then to 68 str. If you want to do this fast, buy around 20 str pots. This process if very slow so patience is the key to success.
Now that was the hard part, now heres the fun part - learning to KO!
The art of KOing with range/2h is like a glitch. The bow will automatically fire an arrow as soon as it's raised, even if you eat, run or switch weapons. Pures take advantage of this and use r2h to get in some decent 16-19 damage.
There are 3 main types of KOing
Quick switch
Bait and switch
Delayed switch
Quickswitch
To do this you will need to practise. As soon as your bow is lifted, you click on your r2h, then click attack on your victim. This must be done very quickly. The timing of when this is used is also important. Use it when they are on a bit less than half hp, and if done correctly, and with a bit of luck, you will kill them.
Bait and switch
This is useful if you are fighting someone who is hitting you hard, or just at the right time. To do this you range once, then run in any direction a few squares. You quickly pull out a r2h and swipe. Your victim will think you are running, and if they are less than 20 hp, will certainly get a surprise.
Delayed Switch
The delayed switch is extremely useful, and is the key to killing safers. It is not full proof, but is extremely effective. First you fire a shot with your short bow. As soon as damage is seen, you switch to r2h and swipe. This should be instant, and your opponent will have no idea when you are going to do it. Master it and own with it.
or you could do what i did. range 10 above str and str 20 above att. not the best idea but it allows you to go pk at early levels
