I need a Ranged Weapon

Featured Replies

Hey everyone!

So I currently have an Att. Crystal Bow and DL Darts. But, I need something that fires actual ammunition (mainly Dragon Bane for Rue Dragons). I've listed my options below, and would like to hear all of your opinions on each. I play DIY, so I'll be getting all of these weapons as drops/building them myself.If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. These are my stats: http://services.runescape.com/m=hiscore/c=g4Bh01BY1iU/compare?user1=Meranek

Thanks!

Chaotic Crossbows: Currently have 79 DG, but only 40k Tokens.
Royal Crossbow: Would have to kill QBD to build and Brandish crossbow.
Dark Bow: Would have to kill Dark Beasts
Zaryte Bow: Would have to solo Nex (no experience).
Ascensions: Need 95 Slayer (currently 93) and 12 Signets.

For diy, chaotic would be easiest.

Zaryte doesn't shoot arrows.

“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.”

 

Chaotic seems to be the best bet for you. If you just suck it up and grind for a bit those dg tokens will come in no time.

Let me clarify a bit, sorry, was on my phone

 

Chaotic is the only one that you can 100% get, though it may take quite some time to get DG up there.

 

Royal is a good alternative, though it is based more fully on pvm skill and rng. If you are lucky you can get a royal bow very fast, otherwise you may make a lot of money.

 

If you are good at QBD and have super antis, I would recommend doing that. who knows how lucky you are :p

QBD might be hard without a good range weapon to begin with, so a Chaotic crossbow might be the best goal gor now.

Thanks everyone!

 

Statistically, Att. Crystal Bow is better than Chaotics, so I shouldn't have any trouble doing QBD. I have DL armor, Att. Crystal, Super Antis, and SS. But, like Wkw pointed out, QBD is totally RNG, wheras I can work up to Chaotics. Also, Monarch, my bad. :oops: could have sworn Zaryte shot arrows when I wrote this, but it definitely does not. Looks like Chaotics it is. I'd like to skip them since I'm working on Ascs too, but I don't see another option.
