Creaphis Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Here's my information so far: 1) A crossbow on rapid shoots 3/5 as fast as a shortbow on rapid. 2) The rune crossbow now has 90 range bonus, and if you use a Zamorak book, you can achieve +98 range; 29 points higher than a magic shortbow. 3) Many stunningly powerful hits with bolts have been observed. I'd still like to see some max hit comparisons. Try testing rune c'bow versus magic short. Use the same metal type of ammo (ie. addy arrows versus addy bolts), use untipped bolts, and avoid using range pots or the range prayers. Tell us your max hit with each bow and your range level. Thanks! Also, have the special crossbows been changed at all (Karil's, hunter, dorgeshuun)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ugafan_2009 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Decent month for rangers so far. PMG JAgex update melee now range is unfair and we dont get any updates this month and they got too. :wall: Quit RS, combat 104, total 1651 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golvellius Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 They are crystal bow speed now. They hit like a melee weapon and make karil's and crystal obselete in my opinion. You really want to train with them from now on instead of magic shortbow. For reference, I hit 27s with just plain mithril bolts and a range pot, which is the same as a full crystal. I don't think you need to see numbers just get yourself one and some bolts and you'll see "night and day" difference. Jagex just brought range out of the abyss. Exclusive Legacy Mode Player He just successfully trolled you with "courtesy" and managed to get a reaction out of you. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcyte Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This looks great. The great thing about this update, is that this will won't be used for pking, but is excellent for range against monsters, and monster training. Click for mah Blog!- I'm not sure why you would though because i never update it Achieved 99 Thieving 3/10/07-992nd to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9276wizard Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I was able to hit a 28 using rune crossbow and regular mithril bolts. I'm range lvl 89, was potted and using the eagle eye prayer. In comparison, my max hit with the crystal bow is 26, also using range pot and eagle eye. However, the rune crossbow is not as fast and as accurate.

Utopianflame Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I missed the screeny but at 95 range, potted (106 time of the hit) and with prayer I hit a 39 on a black dragon with diamond tipped bolts. there are no stupid questions just way too many inquisitive idiots balance is scary to people who like things easy for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoswellCrash Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Yeah I have been killing black dragons with them and they hit as good as my crystal bow almost, definitely better then mage bow. 71 range hitting 17's & 18's with pearl bolts - Twitter | RuneScape FB Group | My PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kill_Thomas9 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 no magers need an update lol now they get owned by meleers and rangers.. Mages are supposed to be owned by rangers. It's called The Combat Triangle I have a few questions now: 1. What bolt would I need to use with a rune cbow to be equal with a magic short? 2. Do you need gem tips on the end of your bolt? 3. Is it worth it to enchant the bolts? 4. How many bolts are enchanted at once? 5. How many bolts are enchanted when you use the poision spell? 6. How does the Karil's Crossbow compare now?

almost Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 anyone know what the max hit with onyx bolts is? --> 99 crafting 8/31/07 <-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creaphis Posted June 18, 2007 Author Share Posted June 18, 2007 You only need gem tips on your bolts if you plan to enchant them. I wouldn't bother enchanting bolts for training, it would require too many gems and runes. Ten bolts are enchanted per spell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hunter's x-bow is obsolete, as you can get the same power 20 lvls earlier, and the bolts are hard to come by. Karil's x-bow is Obsolete, as bolts are easier to obtain than bolt racks, and is only good if your a frequent frequent barrower.... :? :shock: :ohnoes: -.- :boohoo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
