jayc3399 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 As crystal bows don't actually fire the ammo, would you still gain the benefits of bane arrows?

Arceus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm pretty sure it would just ignore whatever ammo you have in that slot. Source/an interesting comparison of Royal/Crystal.

jayc3399 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Thanks for the link but I'm not so sure about what he is saying. I've noticed that my crystal bow goes down even from using abilities and he doesn't seem to have sourced any of his information.

Arceus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Yeah sorry, I guess that bit was patched - it should drain regardless of firing off an auto-attack or ability.

jayc3399 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Is there a way to test if dragon bane works with crystal bow? Quest Cape Achieved on November 14, 2007Items AcquiredCrystal Pick and HatchetBerzerker Ring x 33/28 Barrows Items Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceus Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 You could do the direct approach and test by bringing the Crystal bow to dragons with dragonbane arrows in your inventory and firing away for a while, then equip the arrows and see if you notice any difference (25% damage and 30% accuracy should be substantial). Other than that, I don't think there is any real shortcut in this case. "Fight for what you believe in, and believe in what you're fighting for."

jayc3399 Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 I'm going to go with doesn't work, tried it out at black drags on my main and 281 was the lowest I could hit with frag shot when both using and not using the arrows.

chenw Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Easiest way is to test at QBD, the accuracy difference should be VERY noticeable (difference between hitting most of the time vs half the time). 6,924th to 30 hunting, 13,394th to 30 summoning, 52,993rd to 30 DivinationKiln Record (Post-EoC): W 25 - L 0, 14 Uncut Onyx, 8 Jad hits received (Best record: Two in the same kiln)Obby set renewed post update #2: 0QBD drops: 21 crossbow parts, 3 Visages, 1 Kites, 2 KitsMax Port Score [2205] Achieved: 27th April 2013 (World 2nd) Farmyard Rampage ranking: 12th, 50,000 Kills.

Major Dash Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 It won't use arrows or gain damage/accuracy from bane ammo. The bow has its own damage unlike every other bow save Zaryte. “I had a feeling we weren’t coming back from this fight when it began.”“Do you have any regrets?”“I don’t. It seems surprising, I know, but I wouldn’t change a thing. This is how it was meant to be.”“Huh, you never really notice how lovely the day is until you realize you’ll never see it again.”“Mmmhmm.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
