11 June 2007 - The Dark Bow~ 6:15 AM

Featured Replies

A new bow has made its way to RuneScape from the shadowy dimension of the dark beasts. These dark bows are strange and dangerous weapons, designed to shoot two arrows at a time, even with the most powerful arrows. Its mysterious special attack deals massive damage, which is even more powerful if you use it with dragon arrows.

 

 

 

Dark bows can only be obtained from the dark beasts that lurk along the path to the Light Temple. Although it requires a level 90 Slayer to take on a dark beast, level 60 rangers can use these tradeable dark bows. The dark bow is also the only bow that can fire dragon arrows!

 

 

 

You also now have access to a new cavern where eight more dark beasts lurk, just at the start of the Light Temple path.

In other news...

 

 

 

H.A.M. clothing has been added to the items players can store in the armour case in their costume room. Players can now deposit their selection of H.A.M. clothes to free up some bank space.

 

 

 

Players can now see when they have achieved the maximum Kudos from helping out at the Varrock Museum.

 

 

 

The Fountain of Heroes in the Heroes' Guild will no longer recharge amulets of glory in their noted form.

 

 

 

Players can now move compost into all empty buckets in their inventory if they have sufficient compost in the bin. This is to allow players to more easily extract the compost for their Farming needs.

 

 

 

Players who've achieved a high enough magic level to cast Ice Barrage from the Ancient Magick Spellbook will be interested to know that we've fixed the requirements for casting to allow for combination runes. All other Ancient Magick spells already allow players to use combination runes, but it seems this one was missed off.

 

 

 

Players who are short on inventory or bank space can now drop wound up toy mice on free worlds. Prior to this, players could only drop the unwound version.

With any type of arrow the special makes it hit 30% harder and it will not miss.

 

 

 

 

 

With dragon arrows the special hits 50% harder and it will not miss.

 

 

 

+95 range bonus, which may I add, is +5 off from the Crystal bow and doesnt degrade.

Do not buy any over 300k. I repeat, the dark bow is NO rare drop. Not like the abysal whip. So prices will drop down HARD! Wait 1 day and they will have enough to bring down prices below half a mill.

Anyone know the old maximum for msb with pray and pot/ with crystal bow? That would be a good measure of the new maximum.

SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL SELL

 

 

 

lucky

its actually not the biggest thing since sliced bread, it fires at around the same speed as a crossbow i hear. :-k

 

 

 

still, it hits twice, which makes is the same as a shortbow. ::'

 

but remember, the special dosn't MAKE it hit 30-50% harder, it gives it a CHANCE too.

 

otherwise that'd be wayy to strong. :shame:

 

 

 

PMG OMIGODZAWZ RANGE CAN KO NOW?!?!1ONESHIFT? :XD:

 

 

 

crystal bow, with prayer and potion max hit at 99 range was 28.

nudist hippy vegan elves who inexplicably wear leather.

spec doesnt miss? wasnt this like the original whip spec? i expect it to be nerfed.

Looks like those dark bows are common drop as they already sell them for 300k at the official forums.

Retired from RuneScape for as long as possible.

The guy on the RSOF selling at 300k is a fake, look at his stats.

 

Plus the whip wasnt exactly a rare drop when people were first getting to 85.

there are no stupid questions

just way too many inquisitive idiots

balance is scary to people who like things easy for them

Utopianflame.png

A SUGGESTION TO ALL 90+ SLAYERS! I would sell your Dark Bow now as the fever settles in, this thing looks big and clumsy so may drop down in price rapidly *cough* d2h *cough*.

O_M_G_Guasto.png

LOL@ amount of 45 slayers selling for 300k :XD:
