I bought Dark Bow.

[Rarex]

To speed up my range training. im almost 59. should I keep it to own jad?

[Warrager]

I'm pretty sure magic shorts or bone crossbow with bone bolts are faster exp... And beating Jad with 60 range and a Dark bow will be extremely hard. Get 70 for crystal bow...

Get 75 range, and use Rune crossbow+Addy bolts

On his other post he said he's not going to get a accumilator, he's probably better off with an Xbow.

doesnt dark bow give the most range attack? -.-

[Our_Moon]

~It's the slowest, or one of the slowest Bows, in the game. Just use it for it's special attack.~

~You're welcome. I prefer Knives and the Special Attack of the Dark Bow. It's a healthy combination =).~

Too expensive for most people :XD:

I used a mage short with rune arrows

Most vids/guides I have seen of people "owning Jad" where with crystal bow or rune crossbows wielded. So to answer your question, while dark bow might be a decent leveling bow, I really doubt you should use it for the fight caves.

[inoskedyou]

Basically D bow is dirt for fight caves because its slow. Its also slow for training for the same reason. With a Bone Cross bow you can hit higher than you can with bone bolts than you can with steel arrows, maybe even mith.

 

 

 

For fight caves Crystal bow all the way.

 

Karils is expensive if you fail, but effective.

 

Rune C Bow is good but youd have to sacrafice a pray boosting cape for the accumalator if you get one.

[Musicles]

I made attempts with crystal bows, crossbows, mage bows, and finally karil's crossbow. Karil's is by far the fastest shooting and hardest damage over time. The smart thing to do is learn how to do Barrows and get your own. I bought 1k of the bolts for my tries.

 

 

 

You'll find the faster you take down certain targets, the longer you live. Pure rangers have an easier time because they can kill the melee ones almost before they get on top of them so you take less damage, need fewer food pieces to heal. I also found using purple sweets made me last longer too.

 

 

 

With the Karil's, I have gotten to Jad 3 times. With any other configuration, I only made it once. The problem is when he spawns, there is usually a big lag [bleep]e on my computer, even though I run a good system, and by the time I've finished hearing his sound, he's burping from eating me in melee so fast.

 

 

 

I have tried to end up in different areas so he is farther away, but that 500ms or 1 sec pause is all he needs to wipe me out. It's frustrating. On the good side, I now have 24 onyx bolts (e) from the Tokuls they give me. Hehe.

 

 

 

As for using a Dark Bow, I found it was only good for 1 thing: Selling to someone else so I could get a Fury instead. :) They look cool, and looking cool can get you killed. Even the hunter crossbow shoots harder than they do (except for addy arrows & up). But like someone said, those arrows aint cheap. I mined 200 addy ore and bought the coal just because and turned them into darts and bolts. I'm sure they are faster too, than the Dark Bow, but they are limited in range and you often get too close to a target to kill with those, and anything 360 (fat and red) and up, can munch you in 2 or 3 hits, so leave those behind.

 

 

 

You must have full guthans for healing, and switch out some pieces for ranging, so the Karil's bow is the best choice, imho.
