- 1Recommended set: Leather
- 2When players have access to any of the veteran capes it is recommended to use those instead due to their superior armour and style bonuses.
- 3If players want to use an all-styled cape instead, they can use any of the team cape variants, which offers slightly less armour, but can also be used for melee and magic combat.
- 4A free and viable alternative is the hybrid pathfinder armour, which can be used up to level 20.
- 5If a player cannot afford the Ring of Luck, it is recommended to use the Ring of potency or any variation of the Explorer's ring instead.
- 6The amulet of power can be replaced by an Amulet of accuracy, obtained for free after the completion on Imp Catcher quest.

- 1Recommended set: Green dragonhide armour, Maple shortbow, Adamant arrows, Asylum doctor's ring.
- 2If players have previously unlocked the discontinued starfire cape, it is recommended to start using it at this point, as the tier 40 variant offers the highest stats of any cape in f2p.
- 3The cape will remain capped at tier 1 for ironmen though.
- 4If players instead want to use power boots, they can obtain basilisk boots by trading with members.

Alternatively, if you have enough Dungeoneering tokens for a gravite chargebow, this can be a very good substitute for the magic shortbow and rune arrows, as it is the strongest shortbow in F2P, and it requires no ammo to use but degrades after a period of time.
- 1Recommended set: Blue dragonhide armour, farsight snap shot necklace (with Dungeoneering 50), acadia shortbow, rune arrows, explorer's ring 4.
- 2Alternatively, if you have enough Dungeoneering tokens for a gravite chargebow, this can be a very good substitute for the magic shortbow and rune arrows, as it is the strongest shortbow in F2P, and it requires no ammo to use but degrades after a period of time.
- 3One can also utilise gravite knives as they are the strongest dual-wielding Ranged weapons in F2P, costing 20,000 tokens more than the chargebow.
- 4Watch their charges and recharge when it's the right time.
- 5If players instead want to use power boots, they can obtain turoth boots by trading with members or buying them from the Grand Exchange.
