Why train Ranged?
Ranged is the workhorse style for a huge share of PvM, and it scales harder with gear than any other combat style — the right bow or crossbow changes what content is possible.
ScapePath links your Ranged level to the ranged weapon and armour paths and to the bosses that demand them, so you can see which upgrade unlocks the fight you're aiming at.
61 is the Rune crossbow, 70 opens the Armadyl crossbow and blowpipe, 75 covers Masori and most bows, and 80 is the Twisted bow requirement. Match the level to the weapon your target content actually uses.
