Using a rune or bone crossbow?

 

 

 

I'm pretty sure the bolts fire faster with the bone crossbow, so it turns out better, but I'm not positive.

 

 

 

Thanks.

As long as you are not fighting monsters with high defense, such as metal dragons, I would use bone bolts and x-box.

 

Both have same speed and bone bolts can hit like addy bolts, but much cheaper.

Bone Bolts are NOT as strong as addy bolts. With addy bolts i can hit upwards of 30. With bone bolts i hit 19. That's not as much as even mith. So they are somewhere between steel and mithril.

I'm not asking about the bolts themselves, I'm asking which crossbow is better to use with bone bolts.

 

 

 

I'm asking if the bone crossbow gives a particular advantage with the bone bolts or not.

According to most websites I have read they all say bones bolts can hit LIKE addy bolts. Yes, I understand they cannot hit as high as addy bolts, but for a 4 gp or less bolt they hit well enough.

 

Which brings me back to my original post, as long as you are not fighting high defense monsters, nothing beats the bone x-bow right now for cost and effectiveness.

Oh wait, I didn't consider whether or not the rune crossbow CAN use bone bolts. That's probably what's confusing here, and I didn't even stop to consider it myself.

 

 

 

And they're not. Duh. I'm just crazy, question answered.
