Help me bring me up to date on ranging

[Cheeter]

So with the return of free trade I wanna start duelling with my pure again.
But I haven't played in like 5 years so I'm a little behind in knowledge of items.

I got 88 range and a def of like 40.

What items should I get? Heard something about a packpack which retrieves arrows.

Thank you

The backpack that picks up arrows.

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Chaotic_crossbow - Level 80 Range and Dungeoneering Crossbow
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Zaryte_bow - New GWD Bow (expensive)
http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_bow - Pro Spec Attack Bow (60 Range)

I think people use Magic Shortbow and switch to a Rune Crossbow with Dragon (e) bolts in PVP, but I'm not sure.

The backpack is basically ava's attractor/accumalator/something else i can't remember. It is a quest reward, each upgrade requires a different quest

Attractor = Animal Magnetism with Range < 50
Accumulator = Animal Magnetism with Range => 50
Alerter = Do No Evil

First off I would like to say I respect you a lot for hidden reasons pm me fi you wish to know.

2nd Zaryte bow is a Very strong bow and has unlimited ammo it is defo worth it just not now wait for it to drop

Ava accumulator is a quest it retrives like 80% of your arrows

What is your range level I can tell you the best way to get it up.

No problem, I think I help people to PK because I fail at it myself

Hmm, unlimited arrows you say.
What are the unlimited arrows compared to? Runite, addy, dragon?

In terms of speed, damage and accuracy, the Zaryte bow is identical to a Chaotic crossbow when used with Rune bolts. However, a shield may be used with the Chaotic crossbow, whereas it cannot with the Zaryte bow

but has +115 to ranged strength bonus while strength of other bows usually depends on the ammunition (max +60 with dragon or god arrows or +70 with a full Crystal bow). This makes the Zaryte bow the strongest and third slowest bow in the game (behind the Ogre bow and the Dark bow), but not the strongest ranged weapon as it is surpassed in strength by the hand cannon, several types of bolts and Morrigan's Equipment.

Looks pro.
