Bone bolts and how to fix them?

[Blingkachi50]

Since i just bought 300k bone bolts I'm going to side solidus :wink:

Im soo against nerfing, finally a range gets its own whip!

 

i mean .. in combat, ooh the whip, hits high, hits fast, hits strong

 

 

 

now the bone xbow comes along, operating at the same speed as whip, hitting high, hitting hard, and some people want to nerf it?

 

 

 

pretend its just a weapon like the whip, if u wanna nerf the bone then nerf the whip..

 

 

 

i seriously hope this doesnt happen..

 

[jondea0]

do not nerf the crossbow. that would be pointlees, all it would do is make another completly useless quest weapon to take up space in your bank, no better than silverlight or the wolfbane dagger. the cost, ay, it can go up. but no nerf.

 

 

 

wow someone has their head screwed on, this is exactly my point they realese a quest, everyone does it gets some exp off it and the item that they get just gets rejected, the problem is that jagex is scared of making overpowered things lets list some things:

 

 

 

silverlight (good against demons my bum)

 

darklight (same)

 

holywater (same + to hard to get)

 

Brine sabre (yeah it looks good but why?)

 

bone dagger (proberly worse than kick)

 

granite helm (if you want defence you get torags)

 

 

 

plus all the deserted towns

It's not comparable to a whip. A whip is a lvl 85 slayer drop, requiring at least 70 attack to wield and costs at the moment something like 1.5-1.6M.

 

 

 

Bone xbow and bolts require only a few very easy quests and 51 ranged i believe.

 

 

 

I love ranged, it's my favorite skill, but really those bone bolts have got to go. Reduce damage to less than bronze and it is ok. Make sure people can sell the bolts back for 4gp each. So, no big loss for people who spend millions on it.

 

 

 

Equipment like this only destroys a skill, not improve it.

well first of all, we're not discussing price; i know the whip is a drop from abby demon, thats why it costs 1.5m+

 

 

 

we're talking about power,

 

i dont think it's overpowered at all, because ive seen people hits 40s with whip in pest control

 

 

 

and when ur talking about maxing out at 24/25 damage at 99 range with a bone xbow, then it just seems silly damage in comparison to the whip.

 

 

 

i dont understand why people want to nerf it, just because the ranged skill got a cheap weapon thats good. Seriously it's not like you can pk someone easily with them, its best used for training.

 

 

 

chins completely dominate..dont you think theyre overpowered?

 

---

 

i guess this discussion is about the price then, 'why is it priced so low, and why is it so good'?

 

 

 

jagex most likely price it the way they did because did u ever see anyone use it before the shop updates? prolly not. it was prolly considered a noob weapon.."omg bone weapon"

 

 

 

all i can say is: relish this opportunity while you can

 

 

 

and if you hate the xbow just because you dont have 1, i can sell you one! lol[/b]

[Erichermit]

I love bone bolts and how cheap and good they are, but they do have to go.

 

 

 

You see.. They kind of put arrow fletching or bolt fletching (namely, mith bolts) out of business.

thats the main kicker with the problem. Its for use n lower leveled monsters a mith bolt in all but name for 3% of the price of it. 3%!! (based on mith being 130 per..)

 

 

 

With stats like that its got to be brought into question in its validity to stay in its current form. Obviously you cant use these things at metal drag, well probally, not tryed. And yes we have all already probelly used them.

 

 

 

But 3%? It either has to cost more or become worse... Simple as.

Make it cost more, nerfing the bolts would make the people who have millions of them very upset. If they do up them, imagine the merchanting...

[Zaaps1]

They probably made prices so low so people would start using the weapon. Previously, it was forgotten.

Im just going to say broad arrows again.

 

 

 

Merchants were up in arms about the change jagex made to them, but they still left it as it was. imo this is worse...

[sa121]

Whoever's saying that they're as powerful as mith bolts...Uh, no. I hit low 20s with mith bolts at my level, 15s max with bone. Anyways, I personally think this is like, a way for people to get fairly fast, cheap range xp, now that range for PC is nerfed.

They also shot faster than a rune x'bow, so if you average out the lower more common hits then you are looking at comparable to mith. thats how it was worked out..

[Italian5kamikaze]

We finally get a new good update that doesnt get nerfed and you want it to get nerfed?

 

 

 

No.

[Codguy]

Well so far Jagex is making it look like they won't change Bone Bolts because usually they do things like that in the first couple of days (usually though). But if they were to change it, they should change it to be higher in price. However that would make a bunch of people merchant them probably since people bought them for 4 gp each. However I think that's the only thing that could be done affectively.

[YokazenoKyoukan]

if they do "nerf" the unlimited supply of bone bolts...wouldn't they "nerf" the unlimited suplly of arrows and arrowheads too? just my oppinion on the matter

[JordanGM]

Where can you buy these bolts?

[Codguy]

Where can you buy these bolts?

 

 

 

After finishing the quest, Death to the Dorgeshuun, you can buy a bone crossbow and buy unlimited supply of bone bolts for 4 gp each.

[JordanGM]

Thanks :)

[anonymouse_]

I've been using them since well before the shop update (at 15-20ea). The only reason people are using them all of a sudden is because they're so cheap -.-

[jessy87]

wow, your [bleep]ed up man. you want us to go back to training with 1 of the following

 

magic short with iron

 

crystal bow

 

 

 

im sorry, crystal bow is not an effecitve range training weapon. it more like a gathering tool. thats what alot of people used on blue dragons. because h hey they hit hard and good and the $ returned makes for more bows.

 

 

 

magic short? yea i love maxin out a 7 all day long.

 

 

 

 

 

ranged and bone bolts ARE NOT BROKEN

[Andrew_s_2]

If they were going to nerf it they would have by now.

[purewcnub]

The bad thing is the people with hundreds of thousands of bone bolts (like me) would become rich if the price went up.

[flying_death_bombs55]

Jagex did it on purpose, when bone bolts first came out they were 17gp, now they are 4gp. Rangers wanted an easier, faster, more affordable way to train, and there you have it. :)

[everglades]

But I think bone bolts are great. Jagex should not change their stats at all, nor how hard they hit. It was about time for another method of training Ranged.

and because you bought 397k? don't worry i wont tell no one :-w

Bone and mith bolts have completely different uses, so mith bolt business won't be affected. Mith bolts and up are used for higher defence monsters/bosses. Seriously, would you use bone bolts against iron drags like you would for mith bolts?
