Features

All of the features that the Ranged Guild has to offer are listed below.

Stores

There are a variety of ranged-related stores in the Ranged Guild.

Tribal Weapon Salesman

The Tribal Weapon Salesman, located in a tent on the southwest side of the Ranged Guild, will sell you all kinds of javelins and throwing axes - from bronze to rune (excluding black) - all for under 572gp.

Armour Salesman

The Armour Salesman, located in the first building on the left as you enter the guild, will sell you a variety of leather ranging armour, all for quite low prices.

Bow & Arrow Salesman

The Bow & Arrow Salesman, located in the same building as the Armour Salesman, is one of the more useful merchants in the guild. He sells a variety of Ranging Equipment, from shortbows to Willow Longbows; from arrow shafts and arrowheads to Rune Arrows. They won't be too cheap, however!

Archery Contest

The Archery Contest is located in the South-East corner of the guild. To start the contest, you'll have to pay 200gp to the Competition Judge. He will give you 10 Bronze Arrows. You may use your own Bronze Arrows to play this contest. You will also need a bow.

The objective of this contest is to stand behind the haystacks, and fire your arrows into the targets. You will gain points depending on how close the arrows were towards the bullseye. A high ranging level will make you score bullseye more often.

You will gain points depending on how close your arrow was to the bullseye. When you have shot 10 Arrows, you will gain an Archery Tickets for each 10 points you accumulate. These tickets can be exchanged for various items with the Ticket Merchant in the building next to the Tribal Weapons Salesman.

Tower Archers

If you go up the ladder in the middle of the guild, you'll reach the top of the middle tower. There are four other towers around the middle tower. Each tower contains Tower Archers, with varying difficulty depending on their level. It is simply a place to train.

You can get the arrows fired by the Tower Archers, ranging from Iron to Adamant, depending on their level. Be warned, higher level archers can hit often and hard. You may use Protect from Missiles if you wish.

Bear in mind that you will need a longbow to attack the archers. When the Tower Archers respawn on a tower, the Tower Advisors in the middle tower will tell you.

Tanner

Also in the Ranged Guild, on the northeast side, stands a Leatherworker (a tanner), for all your leatherworking/tanning needs. Just bring tanning materials and money, and he'll get the job done. (see the Tanning Section of the Crafting Guide for more info.)
