Zaryte bow

Featured Replies

Zaryte bow should be able to fire dragon arrows..

At least then it would be fairly useful..

That is all

What is the difference between fire and no fire arrows?

6 Effigys
1 D Med - 1 D Dagger
1 Verac's Helmet - 1 Guthan's Platebody

Err yeah... the zaryte bow doesn't use arrows, that's the point of them. It's like a crystal bow ++. Of course if you want to make it poisonable (with special nex poison) I'd support.

Ah.. It did not occur to me that it didn't use arrows..

Then, let it use arrows, but each shot WITH an arrow will degrade it twice as fast?

I don't play anymore and therefore have no idea what this bow is, but it sounds like it is stronger without any ammunition than it would be with any, right?

Yes, you are correct. Zaryte bow has more ranged strength than any arrow available out there. If OP is suggesting adding that strength to the arrow strength (for a max of +205 strength), the bow would be overpowered.

Zaryte bow is useless enough as it is anyways, giving it an unfair rngstr boost will just upset the d'bow users. ¤no support¤

dont you love it when people suggest thigns when they have no idea what there talking about?

Don't you love it when people give constructive criticism?

Oh wait.

 

But the problem with making it able to fire dragon arrows is that it doesn't shoot arrows, so you'd actually be lowering it's effectiveness.

Unless the bonuses from the bow itself and the arrows stacked, which would be a bit overpowered.

Um...why would you want to change a zaryte bow? as far as i can tell it hits much harder than anything else around in range, and it doesn't use ammo...adding ammo would just ruin it entirely, and push up arrow prices.

Allowing it to fire drag arrows would not help anything and would actually make it weaker. The range strenght and bonus of the bow is fine as is. It just needs a spec. Every other Gwd weapon has a spec..so why in the hell doesn't zaryte? If it was another melee weapon I bet they would have given it one..freaking tired of Jagex's favortism towards melee and hatred towards rangers and mages.... /Rant over

 

So here's what it needs: A spec. Range is borderline to being underpowered against mages (As I can farcast most of their weapons and d hide is absolutely nothing) so it would be logical to deduct that they need a better weapon for use against mages. Since the bow is connected with magic,since range needs a better anti mage weapon and since darkbow is a horrid k0 wep without void...here's my idea:

 

Reaping Shards

A special attack which fires 3 rapid long distance attacks with reduced accuracy and reduced strenght. Each successful hit lowers mage by 5% with the last hit granting a mage def boost to the ranger which lasts for up to 3 mage based attacks. 100% charge, mage def boost ends early if bow unequiped.

Zaryte bow should shoot swords that are on fire. Cold fire.

Zaryte bows should shoot zaryte bows, tbh.

OT : It's already balanced, there's no need for a spec imo. Some people would rather choke up the money / time to obtain it than see the alternative CCB.

In real life MMO you don't get 99 smithing by making endless bronze daggers.

Rune crossbow with d stone bolts or hand cannon > zaryte. It really is a pointlessly expensive weapon and could do with an upgrade. Increasing the attack speed would probably be a good solution.

Zaryte bow should shoot swords that are on fire. Cold fire.

With Arma GS specs where a Wlily wyrm army is summoned which rampaged wildy and Greater Demons fly around yelling PANIC@@@@@@@@@@@@.
