zanik's crossbow changes?

Featured Replies

according to jagex's update news on mobilising armies, zanik's crossbow was also updated to fire more bolts. does anyone know what bolts this update includes?

 

 

 

edit: i have confirmation that it wont fire broad bolts

 

 

 

i have enchanted and poisoned bolt orders in the grand exchange, ill update them as they come in

 

 

 

edit 2: zanik's crossbow WILL fire ENCHANTED and POISONED bolts!

http://runescape.wikia.com/wiki/Zanik_crossbow

 

 

 

It can fire up to adamant bolts (including bone bolts, but excluding enchanted bolts). It cannot fire broad-tipped bolts.

 

 

 

Um .. I call that - laziness.

 

Wasn't the update added so it could fire enchanted bolts? or was that just poisoned bolts?

thats the old information, that was supposedly changed in the update

Zanik's crossbow can now be used with many more varieties of bolts. It seems that it only used a small selection beforehand.

 

Couldn't tell you for sure, but I'd imagine enchanted bolts (up to ruby and diamond) and broad bolts.

quit

I was wondering myself what the changes were, because I'm non-mem at the moment

Read at the bottom of the crossbow's table, I'm not sure if the bow gave -5 Prayer before, other than that I see everything the same

 

 

 

the -5 was there, and it now does fire enchated bolts. read the edits on my first post. (i tested it myself). although i do thank you for your input

Ugh, I wish it fired broad bolts, that's what I was looking forward to the most.

It does not fire emerald, ruby, diamond, kebbit, or broad bolts, aka it is useless. No diea where you got your information from, but if you try to shoot soemthing in game, you will clearly see that the crossbow is filled primarily with fail.

The spec can add +15 damage.

I piety the fool.

disregard my updates. for whatever reason you can weild enchated bolts with the crossbow, but not actually fire it. i dont see why it would let you even weild it if you cant use it (i dont think you can weild broad bolts with zaniks)

 

or is that the update? that you can hold the bolts in your quiver but not fire them?

  • Author

i thought i remembered my friend showing me how he couldnt weild broad bolts with zaniks crossbow equiped. i guess not

I've tested numerous bolts, and I can say with certainty that the only difference now is that Zanik's Crossbow can fire poisoned bolts (up to adamant). The strength of the poison doesn't matter; it'll fire them all.

 

 

 

To reiterate, Zanik's Crossbow can only fire Bone and Bronze-Adamant bolts, regular or poisoned. It cannot fire enchanted bolts.
