Kashi Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Just one thing to say. As 99% of you already know, Jagex released a line of enchantable crossbow bolts today, as well as some more powerful crossbows. I just have one question though. How many bolts can one gem make? Because unless it's something like 10k, does Jagex honestly believe that people will waste onyx, that gem that costs over 4m (300k tokkul), on making arrows? C'mon! My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troddles Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well, you don't have to turn an onyx into bolt tips... You can just buy them from the shop that sells Onyx. The only useful thing about the onyx bolts though, is when enchanted they leech life from the monster/player you're fighting. Will update when I feel like it.

Umega Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Well, you don't have to turn an onyx into bolt tips... You can just buy them from the shop that sells Onyx. And maybe even as a monster drop... No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXMastaXX Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 1.5k tokkul from the gem shop per bolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kashi Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Yeah okay whatever, I didn't know about some crazy bolt shop ... Still. Hypothetically speaking, that would be pretty ridiculous.

Steel_tide Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 they're expensive considering per shot from shop- but leeching life and hitting extra damage is good- plus being onyx theyll have a high normal max- i know some pkers will use them- only downside is if enchanted the pker doesnt get the drop- i think they need to either make enchanted ones tradable, or make it so they lose their charge when u die with them. 118+ combat1730+ total85 slayer95 mage94 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enipeus Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 its like 200k per bolt only thing you would use them for is staking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rm2k_champ Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Picture this, you are a ranger and a very good dueler, you stake a collection of rares against someone and they stake the equivilent. I'm sure you can spare a few mil worth of bolts to leech their health, infact thats practically fool-proof, 99 range, Def and onyx bolts, rune xbow as the french would say fzw.

Darkduellord Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 you can buy 1 bolttip for 1500 at gem shop and if you chisel a onyx you get 24 bolttips instead of the normal 12 u get you get from a gem Tip.it's 2nd unoffical Go player sm3x; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enipeus Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 yeah for intense range staking spent 20m on like 100 onyx bolts for like a phat set stake use crystal shield 10/10, rune xbow, and yeah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel_tide Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 its like 200k per bolt only thing you would use them for is staking around 10-15k a shot from shop 118+ combat1730+ total85 slayer95 mage94 range Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuud Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 there is a reason jagex made it that way, to affect the economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskolar Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 its moronic...25k gp per shot ( 26k if u count in the bolt) which isnt all that special. I wouldnt say anything if the thing hit 30s or 40s ( considering the incredible speed of a rune x bow)-- but crystal hits harder than this. Again its moronic.

Cdub Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I don't know about you guys, but I'd rather use Dragonstone-Tipped bolts. Doesn't fire breath hit in the 40's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedom1 Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 1.5k tokkul from the gem shop per bolt If I did my math right (4 mill gp = 300k tokkul), that's 13.333 something per tokkul. Given that, 13.33 gp = 1 tokkul. At 1.5k tokkuls per onyx bolt, that is STILL 20k per bolt. If a dueler needs only 15-20 per duel, then ok. But still, these are for the serious of the serious. RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer Values? What do they mean? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
