A ranged pure is a type of free-to-play combat pure account that focuses on training Ranged.

In the free-to-play worlds there are no ranged knockout weapons such as the ballistae or high tier crossbows. Because of that, ranged pures are considered ineffective in typical arranged 1-vs-1 player-versus-player combat, and are pretty rare in general. However, they do find some use in multicombat areas due to their high damage output.

Ranged pures train Ranged without restriction.

In contrary to pures using melee with a rune scimitar, ranged pures can engage in ragging without access to the Protect Item prayer due to how cheap maple shortbow is. When 1-itemming with access to the Protect Item prayer, they can also bring an amulet of power, green d'hide chaps, or green d'hide vambraces to improve the ranged accuracy bonus.

In some cases, maple longbow or willow comp bow might be used for their longer maximum ranges.

Members-only training methods that do not grant Hitpoints experience such as cannoning can be used in order to minimise the combat level.

Ranged pures are largely ineffective in 1-vs-1 combat. While it is possible to stack two ranged hits by running closer to the opponent, this technique is rather ineffective compared to the ranged-to-melee combos.

Ranged pures typically use the best available shortbow set to the rapid attack style in order to maximise the ranged damage outpupt. While they can deal consistent at a distance, they lack the flexibility and versatility of pures that use multiple combat styles.

Ranged pures are sometimes used in locations such as north of Edgeville, the Ferox Enclave, or PvP world Lumbridge to rag other players. They will typically only carry a maple shortbow with a couple of adamant arrows and no food, allowing them to skull up without risking valuable items and fight to the death. In contrary to the melee pures, ranged pures can also use cheap wines to heal without a significant effect on the damage output.

44 Prayer level is necessary to maximise Ranged damage with the Eagle Eye prayer. It also grants access to the protection prayers. Otherwise, Prayer might not be trained at all to limit the overall combat level.

By training melee combat skills, ranged pures can be easily converted to ranged-melee pures which are much more effective in the typical 1-vs-1 combat.
