Tower archers are located on top of the archer tower in the Ranging Guild. They are aggressive to players of all levels. The archers have an attack range of 11, and players must have an attack range of at least 9 to be able to hit them with Ranged or Magic attacks.

When the archers attack, sometimes an arrow appears underneath where the player is standing. The level 19, 34, 49, and 64 archers drop iron, steel, mithril, and adamant arrows, respectively.

Tower archers spawn when a player climbs the ladder up to their level, and despawn 10 minutes later. Tower Advisors announce their presence and instruct the player to kill them.

Although the tower archers are aggressive regardless of combat level, they do develop tolerance. Since tolerance is only recalculated when the player moves horizontally, climbing up and down the ladder does not reset the timer. The Ranging Guild is a multicombat area, so players wishing to engage the archers one at a time can choose to idle on a lower level for 10 minutes before climbing the ladder.

Drop rates are estimated based on 5,825 samples from the Drop Rate Project, unless otherwise cited.

Tower archers do not drop anything when killed, but arrows they fire sometimes appear underneath the player.

• Based on the stat bonuses of these characters, the archers use steel, mithril, adamant and rune arrows respectively. However, the arrows they drop when they shoot at you are one tier lower; that is, they drop iron, steel, mithril and adamant arrows.
• Despite appearing to wear better armour, the level 49 archers with studded bodies have lower magic defence than their level 34 comrades wearing hardleather bodies.
