Feeling lost on Leagues

I’m currently doing my first leagues and was having some fun just skilling and messing around. Now that I’m looking to get into some combat activities I’m feeling totally lost. I don’t know where I’m supposed to be getting weapons and armor or what gear progression to follow, if I should be doing quests, crafting items myself vs finding something that drops them, etc. I didn’t want to look up too much but I just don’t know where to go from here. Specifically looking to focus on ranged and currently just using an oak short bow with no ranged armor
