Category:Ranged weapons

Ranged weapons are used with the Ranged skill. Ranged weapons include bows, crossbows, darts, knives, javelins, etc.

Certain weapons such as Crossbows or Bows require ammunition, bolts and arrows, respectively.

Thrown weapons (can be used with shield)

 * 1) Darts - Fast projectiles. Speed wise, they're on par with knives. However, they're not as strong as knives ranged bonus wise. The strongest dart is Rune.
 * 2) Throwing Knives - Fast projectiles. They're made purely from their respective metal. The strongest knife being Rune.
 * 3) Javelins - Slow projectiles. Their speed and power aren't very good compared to darts and knives, and are rarely used because of their inefficiency and inconvenience.
 * 4) Throwing axes - Slow projectiles. As with javelins, they're slow, inconvenient, and aren't very strong. A notable feature of the rune throwing axe in particular is its special attack, chain hit.

Bows (cannot be used with shield)
Bows are ranged weapons that require  both the weapon and shield slot. In addition, they also require ammunition, in this case, arrows. There is but one exception to the requirement of ammunition, and that is the Crystal bow, a reward from the quest Roving Elves. There are two variatons of the bow, the shortbow and longbow. The shortbow is a faster, less powerful bow that shoots from a closer distance. A longbow is a slow, powerful bow that shoots from a longer distance.

Here are the bows and their information (apply for both short and longbows)

Miscellaneous Ranged Weapons
There are items that don't categorize as bows or projectiles.

One of those items is the Dwarf Multicannon. More information on this item can be found here, at its main article: Dwarf Multicannon.
