Our new, more powerful Crossbows!

[Utopianflame]

i somehow dont believe how that can be true though im not an expert on x bows but still anyway if it is real omg freakin sweet also awww i just made 13k iron arrows a few days ago and lost all my feathers = [

 

 

 

It's probably real, dragonstone bolts have been known to hit 60 before the update.

Lol thats me there. Nice 99 herblore btw, and nice capture there.

[mr_nub_nub]

I was actually gonna make a thread about this, bt you beat me to it...

 

 

 

Well, yesterday, I was fighting killerwatts with a rune cbow, guth book, and mith bolts. I had archer helm, red dhide body, chaps, and [bleep]y vambs, and ava's accumulator. While normally on killerwatts, I use steels with a mage short on rapid, hit max 8s. But now, I hit 17s max, at the same speed as an accurate mage short ( 65 range ). Since I don't Pk, I have been thinking of just replacing my mage short altogether.

My friend uses a rune crossbow for pking and he can now hit 3 30's in a row! (So he says) He calls it the 'ranger's whip'. :thumbsup:

Dragonstone I should think.

[worecx]

Nope it are Ruby bolts *Looks on the floor, sees a bolt in the movie*

 

 

 

And the ruby bolt... and this will happen : Can cause opponent to lose 20% of their hitpoints. In return, you lose 10% of yours.

 

 

 

here it added 20% of his normal hit, that means he would normally hit... like 48 max.

[Methud]

i am a f2p ranger i think ill use the xbow now

[tastywheat1]

With the special effect on Dragonstone tipped runite bolts, I have seen hits in upwards of 45.....

Yeah, it hits exactly like drag fire, so without anti-dragon shieldÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ :P for you and :shock: for the victim

the bolt is dragon stone... its easy to see the purple'ish colour

[tetrak]

Yeah, it's dragon stone. The 20% of max health is instead of the bolt damage, which makes it useless against players. As previous poster said, it's purple, thus dragon stone, not red.

[Aresgodowar]

well they must have slowed it down bc when they first came out i was matching hits with a msb in duel arena.

 

 

 

btw..hope everyone knows that this is how c bows should have allways been. their whole purpose in life is to pierce through pl8 mail.

 

 

 

oh and i hit 19's with 72 range and eagle eye. no hat or boots just glory and hides.

[worecx]

Then i think im collourblind, because it really looks red in my screen.

[icepak]

so has anyone tested whether rune xbow is faster than msb when power trainning range when using the same metal ammo?

[armadillo48]

Just hits 29's, with only eagle eye, no pot at 91 range. That's higher than my max with melee. :shock:

[Norton3000]

I hit 20's with my not so high range lvl. The high range bonus makes it easier to hit through armor. I even killed a guy in full Dharoks with it! \

[x_bow80]

 

 

 

Not bad for mith/emerald (e) bolts. 99 range + pot, no pray.

[zman123123]

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

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The last time I checked, The combat triangle looked more like this....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Either magers need an update, or dhide needs negative melee bonuses.

 

How about you look at it this way, mages have been overpowered for a while now, its ranges turn. Case Closed, Stop moaning.

 

 

 

If you don't remember mage got a whole list of spells like a month ago...

 

 

 

I remember getting an update. You can be totally sure that I fill up vials and convert logs into planks when I pk :roll:

 

 

 

Alright, but I might be able to hit a 60 with my Xbow, but you can vengence it, and as long as I dont Safe, ill own myself, and yes that has happened, Ive hit a 37 on som1 vengenced, k0ed myself..

[Flyingkami00]

I was over my friends house earlier today and he decided to give the x-bows a go. He has 88 range, used dragon bolts and a rune cross bow. He just let the words crossbows still suck pass his lips when he hit a 52 for a kill and a whip. I started cracking up and about 10 people started to run up to him shouting "RFLPL0X!!!!!?! How did you hit a 52?!?!?!!!??1111111111

[mbrun]

Now we have a use for all those bolts that dragons and chaos druids drop. I hit 24s with range pots and sapphire (e) bolts. I had lots of them since I found out before the update that they were too slow. Now I can take down a black dragon fairly quickly with emerald (e) bolts and sapphire or regular mithril ones.

 

 

 

Guess we all need to get our smithy levels up. I got 66 smithy makin iron bolts for my pearl tips.

[Wachtwoord]

Another question: what are those MM forums Muggi talked about?

[xpx]

 

this is without special...hit quite a few 38 on kbd too, but couldnt hit more than that anywhere(without special).
