Crystal Bows Powered up?

Featured Replies

I've heard rumours that Crystal bows have been given a slight speed boost. That they're now the speed of Daggers instead of Abyssal whips... Can anyone confirm this? My bow reverted on Saturday :cry:

Ooo I hope so, maybe fight caves might be somewhat easier with the new bow speed. Yeah, I want to be a cheapskate at fight caves. :roll:

No longer playing Runescape, I caught the WoW bug.

Waste of space.

 

 

 

a crystal lets u put the bolts in your arrows slot.

Did no one notice that post that shows the Crystal bow is still 25/20 in shots per minutes.

 

 

 

The crystal bow's speed was not increased. It's been 25/20 for a long time now.
