Ranger Armor Guide in Runescape
Know What Types Your Character Can Wear
There are many different types of armor out there to be found and crafted in the free mmo game of Runescape. For Rangers there are specific kinds of armor that are really designed to bring out the ranged weapon skill set. To learn about the various types, they’ll need to be broke down into neat categories.
Starter Armor for Rangers
There are these four types of armor that is good for a starting ranger.While some of these have a wee better defense than others in this range, all are still considered just basic armor pieces.
- Leather – Leather armor is weak but it does give some defense. This is better than nothing on a Ranger.
- Hardened Leather – This armor is a bit heftier than regular leather, and it will be better than that in help to the character.
- Studded Leather – This armor will require 20 in Defense and 20 in Ranged skill. It will add some defense and is better than hardened leather and basic leather.
- Snakeskin – This armor will require 30 in Defense and 30 in Ranged skill. It will add a heavier feel and a bit better defense to the Ranger. This is a crafted armor piece.
These starter armor pieces are listed in order of level of worth, snakeskin being better than the studded leather, studded leather better than hardened, and so on. It is the dragonhides where the really good ranger armor starts.
Dragonhides
There are four types of dragonhide armor that are dependent on which dragon the armor comes from. These will all have different requirements to wear, and a little different defenses.
- Green Dragonhide – This is the “starter” dragonhide armor and it requires the skill level of 40 in defense and ranged skill. It has a defense against magic while being lighter weight than some armors.
- Blue Dragonhide – This is a step up from the Green and it will require a 50 in ranged skill and a 40 in Defense. It is for members and not for F2P players. It gives bonuses to Rangers and better defense capabilities.
- Red Dragonhide – This is also a member’s only armor piece, requiring a 40 in defense skill and 60 in Ranged skill. There are much better bonuses to the Ranger for this piece as well as better defense.
- Black Dragonhide – This will need a skill level of 40 in Defense and 70 in Ranged skill. It is the best magic defense of them all and the highest level of Ranger bonuses.
Dragon armor is usually the armor that Rangers in the game will have at the highest level. While the rare armor is what they all strive to get but usually fail to achieve.
Rare Armor
There are also two pieces of rare armor for Rangers that can be worn. Between the two, they are quite elusive. Strive for these pieces, but realize that the dragonhide armor is quite nice and will work usually just as well.
- Armadyl – These will drop from the warriors that they are named from. It is the best ranger top with great bonuses and will require a 70 in ranged skill and a 70 in defense as well.
- Third Age Range – This requires 65 in Ranged and 45 in defense skill. It is considered the rarest Ranger item in the game. Many will just use dragonhide instead of Third Age due to the high probably of not getting it in the game.
These are truly the cream of the crop in Ranger armor items, they are the ones that every bow weaponed character wants to have. They have the most worth in the game, give the most help in Runescape, and really have great bonuses.
