? crystal bow? should i buy?

Featured Replies

should i buy a crystal bow?

 

i no they need recharging after 2500 shots.

 

i no that the recharging price slowly goes down in price.

 

so is it worth it ?

In other words: We got a ban hammer in varrock mines. It's jackin yo [censor] bots, slappin yo macros up, tryna ban em, so ya'll need to hide yo scripts, hide yo clicks, and hide yo logs cause they bannin errbody up in here.

It's a great weapon.

 

 

 

But it's also very expensive, because you have to also factor in the cost of recharging. After the fifth recharge, once the price has hit the steady 180k per recharge, it's an excellent weapon when you need a high range attack. Both fast and strong, and no ammo is required, so you can put ammo drops in that slot.

 

 

 

Basically, if you're swimming in gold, go for it and enjoy it. If you're struggling to earn money and haven't bought your whip/fury yet, there are better things to spend your money on. Depends on your budget.

yeah i just didnt no if it really was as powerful as people say but if it is then its prolly great not haveing to spend money on arrows and worrying about them is a plus to.

Well, instead of worrying about arrows, you find yourself worrying about the decreasing charge. It's a trade-off :?

I love the crystal bow over rune cbows, and I remember a time I had 7 crystal seeds at a time. Like said before if you're rich or you favor bows over crossbows (or other weapons) then go ahead and buy it. Old schoolers prefer the bow to the cbow, but the cbow excels in use.

Do the math. When you get down to 190k per bow, and 2000 shots, that's 95 gp per shot. Less than adamant arrows, I think. Good deal if you have the money.

 

 

 

But to start out, 900k for 2000 shots is 450 per shot. That's quite a bit. It pays for itself after a good amount of uses, so if you're a serious ranger, go for it.

Roses are red,

Violets are blue.

This line doesn't rhyme,

And neither does this one.

Its 180k bow and you can pick up rune/addy arrows but nothing for the crystal bow.

its 2500 shots and starts at 900k,then drops 180k everytime to need to recharge

 

until it stays at 180k

 

 

 

i personally used mine before the crossbow update and it was worth it but now...eh

It's faster and cheaper than adamant bolts, but is definetely more of a hassle.

 

 

 

Addy bolts are 180gp each which is about 40 gp per shot at most. Crystal bow is 72 gp per shot.

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

It's not a good weapon to use at aviansies. Crossbows are really the only viable weapons there. Although, if you want the Crystal Bow and you can afford it, then go for it. I have two of them, I love them.

Pirate Rosetta stone. Learn a language while you scape.

Sounds interesting, but these days how many people really speak Pirate?

knives,darts are also good at aviansies

if you can afford it buy 3-4 bow's and get em all down to the cheapest recharge, then use em whenever u feel like killing something boring and time consuming like slaying: Black demon's (you prolly only need 2 full charged bows for 1 task high lvl task.)

 

 

 

when those are out, just teleport and recharge
