This channel is easily the best f2p level guides

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello ELMO! Thanks for the comment and the awesome feedback buddy 😁😁😁 hoping to get a full set of guides for F2P done ASAP… 😅🤷🏻‍♂️ god knows when that will be though 😂 maybe Christmas 🎄 stay safe and thanks again 👍👍👍

It’s the only one I use as a dedicated f2p only player

[@ROYGBIVDoReMiFaSoLaTiDo-w4p]

I agree!

[@kg30004]

Thank god for people supporting F2P

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Cheers kg30004! I'll always try to keep supporting F2P! Love this side of the game!

[@turmuthoer]

2 things regarding Moss Giants: 1) I believe they are actually the fastest ranged XP all the way to 99 in f2p, since they have much lower defence than Ogress Warriors. I think people prefer to switch to Ogress Warriors at higher levels because they offer much more valuable drops and are more AFKable, even if the XP per hour is lower. 2) An alternative training location to the Varrock Sewers is Crandor. Five or so spawn on the southern end of the island and they can be easily safe-spotted using the nearby Adamant and Coal rocks. It's a bit trickier to get to, especially if you're low level since you have to run past lvl 82 Lesser Demons, but this also means that there's rarely anybody else training on them. It also isn't a multi-combat area, so other players can't steal your kills.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello TurmutHoer! Thanks for all the comments man, really good hints and tips! Apologies for my delay in replying, I've been struck down and spent the last few days recovering... Yeah point 1 is certainly true, Moss Giants are far easier to kill than Ogresses but I recommend switching between the two just to farm some good drops to make some money out of your training, and to mix things up a bit. 👍👍👍 I never twigged the fact its not a multi combat zone on Crandor, so yeah definitely a useful one for ironmen if they don't want there kills stealing! 😎😎

[@ScarryHarry93]

Crandor only has 3 giant spawns...I should know since I recently lived on that island getting all my melee stats up to 70 lol.

[@godlike0337]

​@@TheLumbridgeKnightbro goes to crandor you have to go to varrock down under where the deadly spiders are you can save spot the hill giants from there or you go to karamja for the demons

[@e-genes2727]

I get the same exp per hour on both spots.

[@WeezyManiac]

Hey man, I know this is an old comment but I tested this and you’re right. In a nutshell from my testing, Ranged lvl 75 the following results: Ogresses - Corsair Cove: 1k xp every 3 minutes (e.g. 20k per hour) Moss Giants - Varrock sewers: 1k xp every 2 minutes (e.g. 30k per hour) This means it’s 50% better xp wise, however, the loot table is indeed shit compared to that of Ogress. Added bonus with the loot pool drop of Ogress is that they drop all the runes to enchant lvl 3. Basically you can live out there, especially since there’s a bank not far away.

[@rawrtehehe2134]

Pretty well put together as far as f2p goes,I do however have 2 issues/suggestions with it. 1 Accurate even pre 30 is lower overall dps than Rapid. Always use Rapid 2 Starting at range level 5 Iron arrows give +1 to your max hit over bronze arrows. Considering the costs bronze should never be used either.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello RawrTehehe! Thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍👍👍 Some great points! 🤦🏻‍♂️ totally missed the GE price points got too focussed on Ironmen 😅 showing my bias there… I’ll update the description to try to reflect what you’ve suggested 👍

[@M0odez]

1. is not true: it depends on whether accurate boosts your max hit over rapid. If it does then accurate will be better than rapid.

[@johnmichaelmorrow1589]

@@M0odez that’s not true. Rapid fires 33% faster, so after your max hit is 4 with rapid even if it was 5 with accurate that’s only 25% more max hit than 4, so rapid is still better. So with only a few minutes of gameplay where the max hit goes from 1-2 or 2-3 before rapid is always better, mind as well just always use rapid.

[@M0odez]

@@johnmichaelmorrow1589 I meant only within levels 1-30 as per the original comment.

[@scaleonkhan183]

This is super helpful. Love the visuals. Thank you!

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hey Scaleon Khan! Thanks for the comment dude! 👍 Glad you found it useful and liked the visuals! 😁😁😁

[@dubinmarks1]

For anyone watching right now (non iron man) mithril arrows are only 5gp so 1/3 the price of steel arrowd on the GE so you probably want to use them as soon as you have the level to do so

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yes this is a great point! The price is crazy low so of course take advantage! 👌👍

[@gregoryhoffman3184]

❤❤❤Here I am just reading through the comments and I seen you replied to a comment nine days ago on an older video. You sir are very in tune with you community and have my up most respect!❤❤❤❤

Cheers for the comment InfamousNyro! 🫡 The feedback is much appreciated sir 😁😁👍👍

[@Anc1ntkn1ght]

Very helpful video mate, just got back into osrs a few months ago and I love your videos and content. Keep it up 😃

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Anc1ntkn1ght! Thanks for the comment bud 👍👍👍 Glad the video was helpful! 😎 Appreciate the positive feedback man 👌👌👌 Got loads of ideas and material just need to get the editing done 😅 hopefully got guides for the rest of the F2P skills coming…

[@americankraken7442]

Only tidbit I'd add is training on minotaurs in the stronghold there is a safe spot on the first level and they drop arrows to train with, I'd use this over the giant frogs.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Ahh yeah I do like the Minotaur's! And its a lot less crowded that the frogs at peak times! great tip cheers! 😀👍

[@Venoxium]

Great video. I planned on getting Ranged and a lot of other skills up before becoming a member. I spent quite a while doing Iron ore runs from the Mining Guild in order to buy a Bond and want to make sure my skills are good enough to go through Members content and earn enough GP for another one.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Venoxium! Definitely a wise approach if you ask me! I always aim to get dragon slayer and the F2P quests done before going members. 🤔 That said you can accelerate extremely quickly just starting off straight in members 🤷🏻‍♂️ Guess it’s just preference. I love doing F2P just cos there’s so much content in P2P it’s hard to keep up/catch up 😅 If you have the combat and the runes/arrows farming gem drops for Jewellery and rune drops for high alc from the ogresses can be very profitable too! A good extra step for ironmen is you can also use rings of forging to make steel and sell steal bodies in Varrock for a good profit. 🤔 I need to make a video on that a few ppl suggested it in my money making video and it’s definitely a good idea! Thanks for the comment and the feedback bud! Good luck getting your bonds! 👍

[@luisnieves1844]

Sticking with lumby knight for all my guides. Love your work and your edits! Can tell you are passionate about this. Subscribed and like all your videos homie. Keep on hustling!

No worries man! Thanks for the comment and support! Welcome back! 👍👍👍

[@EthCirah]

Thanks you sir this was instructive on how I can level my 1 atk/1 def... On the topic of the crossbow, I was given a free xbow with 3k bronze bolt by a random and used it with a sword for easy swapping between melee/ranged training for the 20 first levels.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Nice work scoring the free bolts! And thanks 🙏 EthTgeSpurned for your comment and feedback 👍 Hey if someone gives you a load of free stuff early on why not use it? Like you said the first 20 levels are pretty fast. The shame with crossbows is just how limited they are… By now I think at least up to Mith should be added to F2P. 🤔 Id have to look up the stats to be certain, but I think if they did that then, crossbows would potentially be the best range weapons in F2P 😅

[@Shenskinvarg81125]

Hello Aroynt! Thanks for the comment and the feedback it’s much appreciated 😁😁😁👍👍👍 glad you liked it!

[@GamesAndWhales]

The one and only application I can come up with for Longbows besides aesthetics (and it's *very* niche) would be something like taking advantage of the increased range in PvP. Best case scenario I can think of for this is playing defense in Castle Wars and doing the whole battlements archer thing. For folks wanting to try that the Maple Longbow has identical stats to its short counterpart but fires two ticks slower on rapid... *or* non-ironmen can grab a Willow Composite Bow off the GE and try to split the difference. You lose 7 Ranged Attack Bonus and you're limited to mythril arrows (which as a fringe benefit are about 7 times cheaper off the GE), but you only lose one tick off your fire rate compared to shortbows if you're both on rapid, and your rapid ties with shortbows on any other style.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah that’s true, if you were going to use it PvP I’d probably carry a short bow and switch to it once your opponent was within range. For none irons the composite bow seems a good option… Shame there isn’t a maple composite…

[@t-yoonit]

I range train on the level 7 dark wizards in draynor. At 55def and 40 range I don't need any food and it's ridiculously easy to stack runes and wizard bodies. Even at low range levels you can tank hits and you have fishing, a bank, and WC/FM resources where you'll never zero out your run energy. Draynor is a skiller's paradise. Great spot for Ironmen.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Tyler Scholten! Thanks for the comments man, some awesome hints and tips there! I should have thought about Draynor as it’s so close to the bank! I just assumed better drops from the level 20 dark wizards so south of Varrock was the best place 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’ll have to add that as an alternative in the video description 👍👍👍 Thanks again bro! 😎

[@t-yoonit]

The level 20s outside varrock are a little better with drop rates on talismans but the rest of the rune drops are basically identical. For early levels, those wizards are arrow sponges and an easy way to build past their aggro and you can skill in peace for all sorts of goodies on draynor beach.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Ahh fair point, and like you said its really close to a bank too! Updated the description to include your feedback, thanks again dude!

[@t-yoonit]

@@TheLumbridgeKnight yeah! I'm in the process of maxing a f2p main so I'm doing a ton of skilling. It's also a main so I don't have a p2p for monetary abuse meaning I'm skilling for at the very least, a balanced profit/exp/sanity rate or purely for profit in the case of smithing, where I'm smithing solely platebodies for hi alch value. It's been a ride but I'm close to maxing cooking and fm simultaneously. The rest is just gonna be a mix of grinds to maintain sanity because I've one shot FM from 63-99 using maple logs which is over 90k logs lol.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Wow you have some staying power man! I did a month of getting two accounts to 99 FM at Wintertodt and that just burnt me out lol took a 2 month break from the game after 😅😅😅 Definitely mix it up man! Burn out is real 🤣🤣🤣 Stay safe and good luck brother!

Thank you for the awesome comment man 😎 It is much appreciated! Glad you like the videos! 👍👍👍 Stay safe man!

[@walruslegion]

Bit late to video but as others have said, monk robes and a holy symbol at greater demons in deep wildy at the demonic ruins means your overheads never run out as the prayer regen from the area offsets it, those demons have a chance at dropping a rune full helm too but you can get PK'd easily being so remote, it's how I got my first one on my ironman. I just took barronite mace so only thing I risked was the loot drops, they give decent prayer xp from the ashes too

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo walruslegion! All good buddy! It’s a great technique to be fair! I’ve got it on the future updates list for sure 😁 I had no idea there was a regen technique in F2P! 😁👍

[@KrazzyKlown]

alternate training areas: Lesser demons in karamaja have an easy safe spot to the south of their peninsula and have decent rune item and runes dorps. For non-HCIM, you can camp Greaters at the demonic ruins in the deep wild with monk robes and a holy symbol; never even have to disable your overhead -- it lasts forever.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo KrazzyKlown! Thanks again for another awesome comment 👍 Both are really good shouts! I’ll have to check out the greater demons on my main 👌👌👌 The only reason I went with Moss Giants and Ogresses in the video is there proximity to a bank and the moss giants have a similar amount of hp but much lower defence, while the ogresses are very similar to the lesser demons but have slightly better drops. Absolutely nothing wrong with heading to Karamja instead of the ogresses though! In fact quite a few people still prefer the classic method of training on lessers 👍 Anyone who does do this should take runes to cast LA or HA with you and plenty of ammo so you don’t need to worry about heading back to a bank too often 👍👍

[@jotnarymir1393]

Also. Mith arrow right now are abot 5 gp much lower then steel arrows and 1 gp more than iron. So very cost effective right now. Also to help with picking up arrow. Swap the pick up arrow option to fisrt on the drop menu list. This is new due to swap drop menu update like i month ago. Saves from having the left click and trying to find arrows in the loot list. Use the sharp eye prayer the drain rate have been reduced heavily so its an option to just have it on while training. Nice guide. 1 more thing flesh crawler is a good afk option for players with higher defence. If defense is a bit low use med rune helm or rune chainbody since them have barely any negative ranged attack bonus. The advantage is since the crawler attack you the arrows not all over the place. Making for easier arrow retrieval. If i dont pock the arrows at level 50 range im getting close to 30k ranged exp per hour drops to 24k if i pick up. Wish avas was f2p

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hi jotnarymir1393! Thanks for the tips! This is some really good advice! Maybe I need to update the guide! 🤔😅

[@ethan6437]

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Victor Seborowski! Thanks for the feedback and comment man 😎 it is much appreciated 😁👍👍

[@connorburrell9]

@thelumbridgeknight I think you should consider Moss Giants at ranged 30-40 instead of Giant Frogs. The chance of dropping a Mossy Key is huge if you are suggesting Giant Frogs until 99. May be less xp per hour but you get a chance at the essence.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hi connorburrell9 thanks for the comment, oh erm I definitely don't think I suggest Giant Frogs to 99. I recommend 30-60 and at 60 move to Moss Giants. Then from 70+ alternate between the Ogresses (for their better drops) and the Moss Giants (For their better XP and of course the Mossy Keys).

[@SargeWolf010]

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Thanks again! Are you staying in F2P or thinking of going P2P at some point?

[@LowestDifficulty]

@@TheLumbridgeKnight ive been playing since 2004 off and on and p2p for years. tbh playing my new hcim on f2p reminds me so much of being a kid and trying to figure out the game and how to make enough money to buy rune armor etc. I think I like the challenges of f2p for hcim and the minimized version of the game

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

I’m probably about the same though I took a long break and just got back into it when a friend told me about them bringing old school out. I definitely have a soft spot for F2P. Though it does make me think 💭 how terrible I was at the game when I was like 14 😂 probably took me months to do dragon slayer and now I recon I could basically get to it in a couple of days maybe less with a fresh character 😂

[@tomsanders6219]

A good tip for IM would be to farm some iron and bronze arrows on minotaurs and farm some range levels on zammy monks this way also farming some sets for magic training seems they drop both top and bottom red robe with prayer bonus.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah, those are some great tips for IM! Thanks tomsanders6219! 😀😀👍👍 I'll make a note to add this when I get to updating this video!

[@calludeus4387]

Omfg! I didn't know about Ranged Tutor toggle on auto equip arrows on pick. When I trained mine, just making way to Lvl 30 (just killing poor Monks really hehe..), I was camping at Karamja Volcano for Imps for their valuable beads until Lvl 50. When Lvl 50 up to current, I'm now Lvl 65 just all camping at Ogress. Haha.. what I got from sold beads and mind talismans, I bought like 50K Mithril Arrows sure to get like Lvl 80s. I also brought magic combat set, staff of fire, robes and runes. Since I got enough Lvl 55 Magic for High Alch, I also made combat style switch when I got more Minds, Chaos and Deaths. Good I got Lvl 60 Magic as well. Camping Ogress is like you can stay forever. 😂 I'm quite on and off playing, got bored.. because you know now an adult.. not unlike when I was playing RuneScape on my teens. 😁 Nonetheless, I really like how you represent your guides in your video such detailed and informative. 👍 Thank you Lumbridge Knight! ☺️

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Calludeus! Firstly, thanks for the comment and the feedback 😁😁😁 it’s much appreciated! Yeah the monks are a good training location, especially when you can get free healing from talking to them! Couldn’t agree with you more on the ogresses when I was doing F2P I’d just switch between ranger and magic there 👌 some good drops 👌 You must be very patient! Killing Imps just to get enough beads for the quest drives me crazy! 😅 their teleport is so annoying 😬😬😬 Question, are you playing as an iron? Yeah, I think most people tend to zone in and out of the game 😅 I’m struggling to get back in full time after playing leagues so much… The grind just drains you 😅

[@faught23]

i train my ranged at karamja volcano, there is a safe spot against lesser demons, i use adamant arrows,takes 30 seconds to kill them, with 320 exp per kill. so within an hour thats alot of exp, although the rarest drop they have is rune med helms

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah that’s definitely a good spot! And Rune Meds are still decent money for training. My only issue with the Karamja Volcano is getting into some of the safe spots can be a pain, like you kill a tone of demons from one position, but sometimes others can get to a point where they ignore the safe spot or your character keeps running out to hit them 😂

[@Glories999]

1-99 in SoS, 1-20 Goblins, 20-30 Minotaurs, 30-99 Flesh Crawlers, if you need big bones, and are under 85 combat afk moss giants in tank gear.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah SoS is certainly a great location. Especially with the Flesh crawlers and giant spiders being AFK-able! 👍😁

[@calripplebear1293]

Can also get a coif from doing the quest for...I think his name is traveler Jon or something. He's at lumbridge and has a combat path (ranged) that will reward you with a coif when you get (I think) 20 ranged

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Ahh yeah fair point! You can definitely get ranged rewards if you have access to the adventure paths. 🤔 I think it’s Adventurer John 😅 but yeah that’s a good point! Thanks for your comments Cal Ripplebear! 😁👍👍👍 for anyone who’s interested in doing this you have to tell the guy on tutorial island your NOT a confident player, if you select that option (or become an Ironman) it won’t be available.

[@KDSRirelandboy1]

I was kind of having the idea that it would be interesting if some mid to high level f2p monsters could drop iron and steel crossbows for f2p players, mainly because that would give F2p some more options in the ranged department, though, this would thoroughly upset the f2p im and hcim's ect. But it would be I think, a fun thing to test perhaps.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Adam! Aww I 100% agree! F2P needs a few more bosses, I think crossbows up to steel or mith and some more magic options! IMO Jagex/OSRS are underselling F2P and by developing it a bit more by adding some of the mid tier options, (that let’s be honest members barely ever use), would probably result in more players and more members. Plus it can’t hurt to have the F2P world be a bit more full! 🤷🏻‍♂️ When I was a kid I dreamt of being a member and that was all off the back of how much I loved F2P.

[@DannyLFC186]

Anything you'd advise for something more afk 40-60? love the videos Lumbridge knight, straight to the point and nearly all bases covered each time!

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Good question… Ranged is a tough one for afk in F2P 🤔 hmm I would say if you have a lot of mithril arrows to spare or you can afford to buy them, try the lesser demons or the ogresses. You might use a lot of arrows but these guys have a lot of HP so you just have to click to collect your fallen arrows and to attack them. Then you can sit back while you safe spot 🤔 unfortunately that’s probably the best I can suggest. You could also try flesh crawlers in SOS just don’t safe spot and they will be aggressive for 10 minutes at a time. Obviously you will need food and decent defence as you will be taking damage. 😅 Hope that helps man! 👍

[@BigRurn]

there are about 16 bronze arrow spawns west of the ferox enclave if youre willing to risk it and world hop.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Rurn! Nice tip man 👍 No harm in trying it if you aren’t a HCIM. Just bank your items before you head out! Cheers for the comment and the tip man 👍👍👍

[@juicyfruut95]

extra tip i havent seen in comments, leather body in varrock building behind east bank

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

haha! That's a great tip, particularly for Ironmen! I'll get it on the list, cheers for highlighting that juicyfruut95! 👍

[@Swaggerknaut]

Doing fresh start at 46ish ranged, wizard can be done foodless assuming 40 def, green dhide and you tag only the level 7 wizards, the level 20s hit for 6 the level 7s hit for nothing, and at least on fresh start the rune/fire talisman sells for way too much, sold a talisman for 11k each? Also maybe an option for iron men is minotaurs for infinite iron arrows

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Ahh that’s cool I went to the Minotaurs on my HCIM but I didn’t seem to get that many arrows 😅 was I doing it wrong? It’s from the drops right? Same with the wizards I did about an hour training as a proof for the video and I didn’t seem to get many rune drops 😅😅😅 bloody RNG!! It’s cursed I swear!!! 😂😂😂

[@Marcus-xl9kr]

I love training at ogresses! I started hunting them at lvl 50 range though. I run into the cave to the otherside by the bridge so i dont bother other players as much. I have 65 range now off and on range training for a couple weeks. But the drops😮 i stayed and didnt leave till i used all my mithril arrows about 2k of them and walked out with over 200k worth of runes and cash. I high alch

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah I definitely think the Ogresses are a worthwhile investment in terms of training and drops! They are a great resource! Just annoying that it can be very crowded! 🤔 I almost never check that side of the cave is it usually free? That’s a great tip if it is 😁👍

[@Marcus-xl9kr]

@TheLumbridgeKnight oh yeah! I'd say 80% of the time it's clear over there and after the 10 or 15 minute agro goes away you have 2 warriors and that one mage and all can be safe spotted

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

I definitely need to remember this spot! 😁👍

[@TegPi]

Ironmen should STRONGLY consider getting mass addy arrows from LMS tokens; then farming tokens more as needed, if your not getting another arrow as drops. 350 arrows per token or 286 token/100k arrows You shouldn't be massing hundreds of thousands of arrows (ie: for 70/80+) from NPC gold vendors.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

This is good advice. P2P only though to earn points right?

[@kiyanharchegani2588]

surprised no one ever talks about monks west of edgeville.... level 5, low def, 15hp and they randomly regenerate 2 hp constantly

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Kiyan, I think I recommend the monks there in my melee guide 🤔 can’t remember why I didn’t use them for magic or range I think it was just because you can do some pretty easy quests to get you to a level where you can train on the giant frogs 🐸 and possibly because the monks are a bit harder to safe spot, though you can speak to them and get free healing too!

[@helloimzane]

I would have included an enemy or two that drops arrows as part of its drop table. Like Ankou

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Ahh a fair point! Thanks for your comment 😁👍 I’ll add it to the update list for the video 😁👍

[@matheuscardoso2745]

What about lesser demons? They have 0 defence against attack styles, and -10 against magic.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Matheus! Yeah a totally valid strategy, I only disregarded them due to their distance from a bank, as catching the boat and running all the way to Draynor Bank in F2P is a pain. With good safe spotting, runes for high level Alchemy and a tone of arrows though, you could stay there for a long time. Moss Giants are still probably better though as there defence is really low, like only 30 or something so you will do a much higher DPS and they only have 19 less HP. I guess you got to weight up the chance to get some rune meds versus speed of XP 🤔 Maybe an alternative to the Ogresses Warriors as their defence is higher. Your call man! 👍👍 Thanks for the comment!

[@genevievenormand1884]

are these arrow counts counting picking up arrows? If so +\- how many arrows would we be looking at without picking them up?

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yeah the counts assume you manage to pick up all your dropped arrows. So the calculations in the video work off a 20% loss rate, and reusing the arrows you have a lot, so you will need a hell of a lot more arrows, so for example, in step 1 to defeat the 140 cows for that step you will need probably 5-6x the number of arrows, so about 1,120. I think looking at this very quickly, (so don't quote me on this), 5-6x the figure in the video seems to be about right, but it will heavily depend on how much you miss and max hit etc. Hopefully that answers your question! 👍👍

[@e-genes2727]

Why the frogs and not the hill giants? The bank is not very far and the loot is decent. They can also be safe spoted.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

The Frogs are better from a pure efficiency/speed perspective 23 hp / 6 def verses 35 hp / 26 def, so you will land more hits on the frogs and they have a decent amount of hp for their level. They only drop big bones though so Hill giants have much better drops and are still a good option for sure, just because of their higher defence you will hit less often 👍 Hope that explains it 😅 Nothing wrong with training at the Hill Giants, plus you might get some giant keys which are needed if you want to fight Obor! Thanks for the comment 😁👍

[@octanewhale7542]

moss giants at 40 is over double exp compared to frogs at 40 with maple and addy arrows

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

The exp isn't doubled. XP rate is dependant on your accuracy and max hit versus the opponents ranged defence. You max hit is based on your level and the arrows you use, so at 40 addy arrows do 1 extra damage. (Due to how cheap they are atm, you can definitely use them). The frogs have a much lower defence, so you will do more damage and hit more versus the frogs, than you would with the Moss Giants. The benefit of the Moss Giants it more HP, so you will have to click less and they give much better drops. Hope that makes sense. 🤔😅

[@buzzandbass3631]

If I use adamant arrows, will that be faster and better due to higher damage and quicker frogs killed? for level 30-60 range?

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo buzzandbass! Thanks for the comment! If you check out the arrow table in this guide: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training it will show you which arrow type will give you max hits at each ranged level. In most cases Addy arrows will offer you the highest max hit, but those are very expensive arrows. Unless you have a hell of a lot of money I’d save them for tougher enemies and bosses. Steel is much cheaper and for most of the levels only a 1 point lower max hit! 👍

[@maxfrischdev]

How were you even able to film the swamp/frogs with No bots there? 😮 I haven't found any f2p server yet, that doesn't have at least 10-20 bots killing frogs and rats at all times.

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

hmm that's weird, you have have left with a shortbow and some bronze arrows. No worries though, speak to the ranged tutor in Lumbridge to get a training bow and 25 training arrows!

[@Sirruthford]

How did you work out the mathmatics to find the amount of arrows needed, I'm trying to work it out

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Sir ruthford2388... I was hoping no one would ask... 😅 And its taken me 20 minutes to work it out as I think I binned some of my notes... Ok so I believe this is how I calculated the amounts (ill use the cows from the 1st section): I took the HP (cows have 8 HP) / Average max hit (from levels 1-20 is 2) = 4 - This number represents the number of arrows needed to kill a cow assuming you hit constant 2's, so 100% accuracy. So to account for arrows that miss I've doubled this number to get 8. I then multiply the average number of arrows by the number of cow I need to kill = 8 * 140 (the 140 is from an exp calculator) = 1120 However, since we will only lose 20% of arrows we only actually need 20% of this number, so 1120 * 0.2 = 224, which is the magic number. Hopefully, that makes sense, I was searching for some kind of guide online, but couldn't really find any thing concrete. So I created this very rough estimation. The average max hit is just from the arrow max hit table on the F2P Ranged Guide on OSRS Wiki so like for bronze arrows 1-5 is 1, 6-14 is 2, 15-20 is 3. So in this case I used 2 as the average.

[@benjaminnavarro3517]

Can you level up range on mage tower with the lesser demon? or its a bad idea (i am level 1 ranged and new player)

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Hello Benjamin Navarro! Hope you're enjoying OSRS bud! You can train on the lesser demon if you want. However, unless you have 33 magic to cast telekinetic grab, you wont be able to get any drops and you will lose all of your arrows. Plus at level 1 range you will use a lot of arrows to kill the demon (as you will hit a lot of zeros). When it comes to enemies you want to look for more than just good safe spots. Enemies with a low Defence and high HP are good because they maximise your DPS, and the higher your DPS the higher your Exp. Hope that makes sense 😅 Welcome aboard & good luck with your training! 👍👍👍

Definitely could use ice giants 👌 but aren’t throwing knives members only?

[@roansino]

Why not changing to mithril arrows when lvl 20?

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Roansino! Erm basically due to cost and the diminishing returns. For example at level 24 and 25 there’s no difference between bronze, iron, steel or mithril. So you should only use them when you can afford them and when they offer an increase to you max hit. Check out the guide on OSRS wiki: oldschool.runescape.wiki/w/Free-to-play_Ranged_training

[@gl22222]

Why not Hill Giants or Lesser Demons?

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Both are good choices, I tend to just go from the Giant Frogs to the Moss Giants, just because they only have a 6 defence level versus the Hill Giants 26. They are still a decent choice though, slot them in between the Frogs and the Moss Giants. Lesser Demons, again are a good choice too, decent drops, but much higher defence than Moss Giants. The lower defence just means you will do more DPS so its just a bit faster, if that makes sense.

[@blazerashbringer2001]

I mean if you rly want to be technically on BOS gear a skill-cape could be better due to defensive bonus it provides they say cooking is the fastest but who is going to do that, plus u always safe-spot anyway

With 33 magic you can use safe spot and grab the loot from distance too. (Needs law runes tho). I might do this for some time before moving to moss giants.

This math doesn’t make sense for Lvl 20-30. To kill 118 barbarians you need more than 166 arrows

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo, thanks for the comment! So all of the arrow calculations assume you recover all arrow fired (so you use the same arrow multiple times). 🤔 There is a 20% chance (I think) of losing an arrow each time you fire it. So you will need to fire more than 118 times but if you make sure to collect your arrows you should be able to do it with about that many 👍😅 Hope that makes sense 👍

Hello Giacomo Berisso! Fair point but the only greater demon spawns in F2P are in the back of the wilderness so I wouldn’t recommend Ironmen farming greater demons there 🤔 maybe standard Ironmen would be fine but for HCIM it would be suicidal.

Fair point though, and thanks for the comment and the feedback 👍

If you're buy from a vendor then do a world switch to keep the cost down. Buy 50 arrows on one world, then go to the next one, check that the store has full stock and do the same again. Repeat this until you have the right quantity you want. Unless you have tones of money and don't care that is... 😅😅😅

Afking in barbarian sewers not an option?

[@TheLumbridgeKnight]

Yo Milan Van Welden, great question/suggestion, 100% you could AFK using the flesh crawlers (floor 2) or the giant spiders (floor 3). The only reason i didnt consider these guys in the guide is that they have higher ranged defence than the other monsters. My first thought was to train ranged to 99 in SOS, but while these guys would still be easy enough to kill and can be done AFK, if you are willing to click once or twice every couple of minutes your DPS versus my suggested monsters would be technically higher. Plus you will get some better drops from the monsters in my methods, particularly useful if you are playing as an ironman. Be a good thing to compare the exp rates and to be honest an AFK based guide would be really useful as in reality not many people are going to be able to click all the way to 99. Though, for me personally, I'd recommend going members when you hit base 50, 99 in F2P would be very time consuming.

Hello Instalocktaka! Thanks for the comment bro! Erm I do agree it’s a tall order going for 99 in F2P but there’s a surprising amount of people going for it 🤷🏻‍♂️ Equally these guides have been getting some really good responses. Plus it just made sense to me to make F2P guides first before looking at members content in depth because there’s way more ways to do things in members so it will take a lot more time to research and learn. Also I’m not sure people are leaving the game. www.misplaceditems.com this site claims to track the player count and OSRS is on an upward trend, which would makes sense considering the game just launched on steam recently. I think a lot of people drop in and out, not doubt but I don’t think the player base is declining?

nahh get to 20 at cows for ranged, thenhead to barb ville pit and go down ladder and train defense there instead with melee. faster than getting it with ranged. def is def either way. so use melee for it since its faster. also because at the minotaurs u get free iron arrows =]
