Goblin Archer

“Hangs back and feathers you from across the field as you close. Cowardly work, but the arrows still sting. Rush it before it finds its range.”

Fighting it

• It swings back once every 3 of your combat inputs, whether your attack hit or not.
• A kill is worth about 1,440 Melee or Ranged XP, or 1,980 Magic XP, plus about 481 Hitpoints XP. XP is paid per point of damage and shared out by your stance (a stance that sends half to Defence pays it at Defence's rate of 8). A finishing blow that overshoots adds a little more; poison and Vengeance damage pay nothing; XP bonuses from gear and food add on top.
• Its hits roll from 0 to 3 (half its Strength, plus one). The prayer Arrowguard blocks them completely.
• Thick hide: shrugs off Magic; Melee and Ranged hit normally.

Slayer

• Assigned as a task by Brann.
• On task, each kill gives 720 Slayer XP (4× its hitpoints).

Drops

Every row rolls on its own, so one kill can drop several things. Drops go straight to your bank (a pet goes straight onto you). Gear and potions that raise your rare find chance don't change these odds.

Item	Amount	Chance per kill
Gold	15–60	Always
Bones	1	Always
Feather	3–7	Always
Bronze Arrow	3–8	80%
Iron Arrow	1–3	10%
Air Talisman	1	4%

After a kill the next one appears 2.5 seconds later. Dying costs nothing but time: a 15-second wait before you can fight again. The Agility perks Hot Pursuit and Second Wind shorten both (see Combat).
