Best place to bot range?

Lol, pretty sure you're friend was trolling you because you can only hit cyclops with melee (If you're referring to the ones in the warrior guild)

Anyways, Here's a rundown of the 3 accounts I've botted Ranged on:

-Account 1: 86-99 Range at Turoths
-Account 2: 96-99 Range at Abyssal Demons
-Account 3: 93-98 Range at Turoths

If you can't kill Abby Demons I suggest you get 55 slayer and attack Turoths, I was getting about 40k xp/hour in a dhide setup.

Low ban rate, TONS of turoths so you don't have to worry about how many people are there, and about 200-250k loot/hr (Torstol/Snap Seeds, Leaf Bladed Swords, Mystic Robe Bottoms, Effigies)
