October 15, 200817 yr hello scapers. im back after a very long stint away from this game and ive been gearing myself back up from f2p gear. alls well but i was noticing the distint lack of people with crossbows in rs....and i cant remember for th elife of me why bows are better save faster. are they more accurate? hit more? because crossbows do seem to have lots of advantages in holding a shield/book, enchanted bolts and the rune c'bow having a massive range bonus over the magic composite bow...even karils whihc i think i shall get at some point. so thats it, raise your arguements and distill th eknowledge. Bow.......or Xbow yep thats f2p..just waiting for my membership to expire
October 15, 200817 yr Personally, espicially in P2P, X-bows are better, by far. They have more power, stronger ammo, and allow space for a shield. Regular bows are rarely used now, besides Crystal Bow or Magic Bow for safe gear ;)
October 15, 200817 yr Agreed. At least in P2P crossbows are much better with different bolts for all things. In F2P though bows are better. Faster and have better ones. I.e. nothing better than normal one.
October 16, 200817 yr Crossbows are so much better, although crystal bow is still quite usefull :) "It's not a rest for me, it's a rest for the weights." - Dom Mazzetti
October 16, 200817 yr Bows are "all round" weapons. Cheap, and good to train with. Crossbows are more of a damage weapon. They allow shield and such. Better for direct combat. Dungeoneering isn't a skill. I'm faster than bots at Sorceress Garden. PM me if you want to chat. My PM is always off. My keyboard is on fire. Want some?
