Crystal Bow at TDS (may be locked)

Featured Replies

I currently am not using a shield, as I am using a BGS for my melee weapon. I do not have the crystal bow down to 180k or w/e per charge, and currently use either broad or diamond (e) bolts at TDS. Should I use crystal bow, how much faster is it, and is it worth the cost. Then I could use several spots where the bolts are not gathered by Ava's accumulator, or use my Quest Cape.

If you're using a 2handed weapon, yes, use it.

 

 

 

Only till it's 7/10 though, after that it's just too bad (that means, get another or degrade and recharge current one).

One more note, I am using void melee and range. Is it worth the 900k though?

Or better yet, use the glitch, where you fire 249 shots with one bow and 1 with the other, and the second will degrade.

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:

Thats not a glitch.....Like anything which degrades, the amount of use before degrading/breaking is tied to your account. For instance, I can do 39 damage with a Ring of Recoil and sell it, and it will last you for 40 damage. Also, if I switch RORs, then the second will still break when the first would. But more on topic, please only post if you know what you are talking about :evil: , such as if you have actually TDED.

O.o 282 qp? How did he pull that one off....BTW, I was being sarcastic about llamsters advice and the TD part.

No, I wasn't fooled, as I stated I was being my normal sarcastic self. :banana:

I have been wondering this too, and to be quite honest, I prefer the crossbow and broad bolts.

 

This is considering that a crystal bow shot at lowest charge cost is 72gp, and a broad bolt is 60gp, so even if you lose the bolts you're still losing less money, also considering that you can't use the crystal bow at Tormented Demons below 6/10 at best, So the cost per shot is practically doubled.

 

With this in mind, I use broad bolts AND a trimmed skillcape, and whether I use a shield or not depends on if I can be bothered with the hassle.

I'd stick with broads and Diamonds. Crystal bow is good, but only for long distances. Modern crossbows deal far more damage.

So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Ok, thanks. This can now be locked, or kept open for more questions by others.
