Piscis_Rex Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Is there any practical use for this weapon, or should I just sell it? 99.99999998465% of the world's population is not me, if you are the 0.00000001535% that is me, put this in you signature -"being famous is like being a woman, if you have to tell people you are, you aren't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyPunchers Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 This weapon is inferior to the Rune crossbow and the Chaotic crossbow in ranged bonus, making it the third most accurate crossbow in the game. It also has a lower max hit than the chaotic and rune crossbows (when said crossbows are using runite bolts or their gem-tipped counterparts) and thus it is considered relatively weaker than chaotic or rune crossbows by many. Furthermore, the one-handed nature of the chaotic and rune crossbows allows players to wield spirit shields or other similarly. Some players are concerned about this, as Karil's crossbow is much more expensive to maintain and has a higher range requirement than the rune crossbow. However, despite the lower strength of Karil's crossbow, its firing speed still allows it to deal more damage over time than the rune crossbow, rendering it more valuable against targets for which special bolt effects are not required. -From Rs Wiki Frankly, I'd go with sell it. There's a reason it's only 200k :P Thanks to all those who have messaged me concerning a revamp of my Range-Slayer guide. Because of you all I will start rewriting it asap.[/color] Formerly RobinHoodie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheat Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I think people use it a TDs if they don't have a hand-cannon/firemaking skill to use it well.

Runecrafts Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I think its good for fight caves and tds, other then that rune crossbow is better.. not only that but the bolt racks are quite expensive so it'll cost quite a bit. Hi if you're reading this you are amazing and I love you.Maybe they'll release a bugless update for April Fools.

Quyneax Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 RSwiki is plain, 105% wrong about this again. Most of the time, Karil's crossbow has way better damage output than the rune/chaotic crossbows due to the far higher speed. It's 1.8 seconds per attack versus 3 seconds, e.g. two-thirds more bolts towards the enemy. It's just a lot more expensive, at very high firemaking levels a handcannon is better. You'd only use the chaotic crossbow when you need massive accuracy (Nex, Kree, mithril dragons if you range them) or defence (Nex, Kree).
