Its pretty well known that void is better than d'hide but I just can't understand why... I know there's the damage bonus, but how exactly does the accuracy bonus work?

In my green drag killing outfit, i have 157 range attack bonus, and 82 range strength. So if I take off my archer helm, blk dhide body and chaps, I have 104 range attack bonus and 82 strength. 10% of 104 = 10.4 so say 11.. 104 + 11 = 115 range attack bonus with void's 10% accuracy so even if it hits higher, shouldn't it hit less often? Or am I missing something that is the reason void is so much better...

TIA

Why, that's the answer he was looking for.

That's correct.

The invisible boost is 10% to your max hit.

You are right in that your accuracy goes down, but it isn't as much as you think. Even if you go from 150 to 104 accuracy, that doesn't mean you're hitting 33% less. You might hit a little less frequently, but not a visible or important amount. Remember that most of your "accuracy" with Range comes from your level.

Long story short: unless you need the defense, Void is better.

According to the Runescape Wiki (http://runescape.wik...wiki/Void_armor), wearing full void with the void ranger helm gives +10% to Range Attack and +10% to maximum damage with Range.  From a purely subjective standpoint, I have noticed that I hit more often and harder with full void.  If you have a good hiding spot, use void.  If you're in a position to get attacked anything more often than seldom, use dragonhide.
