rareghoul1 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 here's a semi-good pic of the dark bow, previous ones weren't that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wachtwoord Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 To give you a little idea about the amount of whiners (AKA, dumb people who totally haven't experienced it themselves yet.): The price also seems to go to 10 mil already. That's pretty low if you consider how most new items have a very big peek at the beginning. When everything's been said and done, more has been said than done.All skills 80+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblob0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 jagex did an amazing update with this bow, now lets just hope it doesn't get nerfed :pray: Don't Click This774th to 99 hunting on July 16th 2007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogspoons Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Actually looks like a decent range weapon. I pray to god Jagex don't nerf it or i may cry. CANE Just to be different. Think about it. A freaking Dragon Cane with a Dragonstone gem.The spec will simply your character equiping a glove and beachslapping the enemy, who will break down and do the Cry emote for 10 seconds straight.

SaidinWoT Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I have been playing around with the Dark Bow, and I have done some testing, here are the results: Verified Facts About the Dark Bow With both bows on rapid, a Dark Bow will make 2 shots for every 5 shots a Magic Short Bow makes. This calculates out to 4 Dark Bow arrows for every 5 Magic Short Bow arrows. The special attack of the Dark Bow drains 55% of the Special Attack bar. A max hit IS possible, albeit rare. Additionally, the special attack *can* raise your maximum hit. My normal maximum hit with rune arrows (which I was using in that picture), is a 13, not a 14. Add your blog to the BlogScape Index!SaidinWoT can now be tracked easily on weekends - Erm, maybe when I start playing again.Levels do not measure intelligence OR maturity.

chenw Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 From Saidinwots Test, the only thing about the Dark Bow is that it has a +95 ranged bonus and it has a good damaging spec and thus good for a KO. BUT: Anything else BUT using it for a KO, the Dark Bow is trash, because its damage output overtime is 20% less than that of Msb, and Msb isnt the highest damage output ranged weapon either (Rune Knives and Chimps beats it to death). Because of this, Dark Bow is probably the FIRST weapon in the entire history of the game that is designed as a PK'ing weapon, NOT a training/PK weapon 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

tetrak Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 You forgot to take into account the accuracy factor... I kill black dragons, and the greatly increased accurary is a blessing for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because of this, Dark Bow is probably the FIRST weapon in the entire history of the game that is designed as a PK'ing weapon, NOT a training/PK weapon So dragon darts + dark bow final spec = ownage Oh and about the dragons and high level monster killing. I wonder if the dark bow will be seen at the Dagannoth Kings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetrak Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Prime is a pushover in range def, so probably not. KBD and KQ, on the other hand... I could also see myself barrowing with it, or going after the daggy kings not supposed to be ranged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomdavies90 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 great. so now the rich get ANOTHER advantage to staking. you can make just as much money staking no armour with a dds as mage/range staking with dark bow or full ahrims and barrages, to be honest, dark bows will be about 2m soon and thats hardly rich and if you think it is rich...you need to get some money Sig by me....

spikerkid Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 100% this will get nerfed. Jagex seems to like screwing us over. They release a decent update and decide to listen to the rants board.. Bow looks pretty sweet. Gratz to the first players who got them. That's like finding a 2 santa hat's on the ground. Quit RuneScape :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lue_Dogs Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 but what if jagex does not nerf it? everyone thinks they will, but what if they dont? exactly great weapon. id probably pay a mil for the bow rite now and not sell it even for 50m sounds good kind of want 1.

0Firzen0 Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Just because its slow doesnt mean its a bad thing.... it just means when training you will use less arrows and while pking you will have better burst damage, wich is exactly what rangers need. And the insane range bonus it gives DOES make a HUGE difference, because now you can tank range with it better. This means you can wear melee armor and still get good accuracy out of it! this is a perfect range update. check out my achievments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
