Will Dark Bows and Dragon Arrows make a difference PKing?

Featured Replies

Dragon Arrows may cause a lot of harm to it. But I highly doubt the Dark Bow will considering it requires 90 Slayer and will no doubt be more expensive then a Whip.

 

 

 

Still Dragon Arrows will increase the Ranger's Max Hit to 27, or even 28. Meaning if you have decent hunter and spend sometime collecting them, or are wealthy you will hit constant 23-24's PKing.

 

 

 

This may mess with Pure PKing for a while and may discourage Melee PC pures (Although Increasing Range) since they will need high HP to withstand that kind of damage.

I doubt it, the bow will cost a fortune because of the 90 slayer requirement to get one so people wont risk it in the wilderness. The dragon arrows will also cost a fair bit because they can't be fletched and you need 83 hunter to get them.

I am so glad I have 92 Slayer! :D :shock:

Can you wait until we get the update to see the final product?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Because you might be letdown and then make rants :shame:

I'm going to wait for them to come out; might be a big letdown... or the boost that some people seem to think range needs.

i think the new arrows will cost 1k each...

jwrm22: 4816th > 99 cooking 100% f2p !1172 total! + 140mil in items.

i dont play anymore... i think rs is ruined

Woah woah woah woah woah woah, don't you think itd a bit too early? You only JUST heard about this like an hour ago and you are already making assumptions about it. Wait til it comes out, then discuss its effects on pking.

^^^Yep. That's pretty much what I was thinking.

The bow won't even be used in PK'ing for at least a month id guess.

Hmm, Jagex may give the drak bow a great spec to make it up to rangers for the MSB spec nerf all that time ago.

 

 

 

Should be a good update and I look forward to seeing how good the new items are.

my guess is that it will be over priced to start with (I think abby whip was sold first for like 20m) but then it will go down as people get higher and more come into the economy.

 

 

 

 

 

IDK if anyone will use that with dragon arrows right away, but i wouldnt doubt like 1 iteming that with some rune arrows

Rofl. My chair has a fridge, a cooler, a toilet, a shower, and a barbecue bulit in.

Hey, I may have quite Runescape, but I just bought an XBOX 360 and play way to much COD4 with the Gamertag Lava Mage

It did say 60 range.

 

 

 

I believe it will be more used in duels, than in the wilderness.

the first few whips were selling for 100 Million

id like to think i could sell at least a few of these bows for 100mil :D (doubt it will be that high though, im saying 15mil)

 

 

 

as if 99 slayer hasnt paid off already :P

whips started extremely high cause almost no 1 could get it

 

 

 

theres alil bit more that can, so im guessing 10mil after a week.

83 Hunter to get free Dragon Arrows? Looks like I'm gonna do some Hunting. :roll:

 

 

 

I think that the price of the Dark Bow will be extremely expensive at first (like Abby Whips were), then steadily drop in price as more and more people achieve higher Slayer Levels. I don't think it will have much of an effect on Pking at this stage because prices will be too expensive to make much of a profit.

I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

whips had many less people when it first started so were priced higher....i think the bow will be like granite maul...first people think it is good then realise the terrible truth!

If you had seen some of the insane pk vids by God Zodar, i think you would change your mind.. He pks in dragon, 3rd age.. and he told me that the next vid would be in phats. So i think alot of people would pk with it :P

Dragon drops: 82 (2 claws)

Dagannoth kings drops: 73

Barrows item count: 51

GWD drops: 54 (5 hilts: 1x bandos, 3x saradomin, 1x zamorak)

Whips: 4

Sigils: 1x spectral (FFA), 1x arcane (FFA)

I bet you it won't, since the bow's req is 60...

 

 

 

... and because when Jagex releases a unique bow, it is almost always a (slow) longbow. If that is indeed the case, it would be much cheaper and effective to use a crystal bow.

 

 

 

Of course that's just speculation; they might actually surprise us.
