tetrak Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 No, they still are very bad, they're too slow. Even if you hit a 40 with it, I can hit two 22s easily during the reload period of a single crossbow shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revenga Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Well, are the bolts very expensive? I mean could you estimate the total cost of one, lol. They sound good for messing around with friends/pking/dueling. But I never thought about using em on higher level monsters. |Msg me me in-game | IrreIephant| ^ capital i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucoin Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 i would defenently use the c'bows more if the range bonus was halfway decent :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toast647 Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Reasons to NOT use for jad: 1) Crossbow is too slow. 2) From what I have heard the special doesn't happen very often. 3) Lose 1 or even 2 spaces for the bolts and crossbow. 4) Overall range bonus of rune crossbow means your regular hits will not hit very often. people can do it with karils x bow...but yea the hits wont alway be that good Come to #tip-it on Swift IRC, if you're cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchkinmage Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Nope, I still think crossbows are totally useless. I sat out near the Chaos Elemental with ruby bolts (e) and went through an ENTIRE INVENTORY of sharks without ever hitting with the special. Same thing happened with Emerald (e). Maybe I just have the worst luck in the world. :roll: Hmm. When I took it to the KBD, it usually hit 3-4 times per kill. :-k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tetrak Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 It all depends on your luck, I tried it on KBD with my clan and it usually happened once per kill, and the bolts are so bad anyway I never got any of the kills. If you want a good damage comparison, at 99 range with my clan I almost always get the kills, with the enchanted ruby bolts, I got no kill at all. Even if it makes for spectacular damages if you're lucky, they're too poor otherwise. I hate the bolts :P Oh, and Karil's Crossbow doesn't accept the new bolts, Karil's bow has too much taste :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starev91 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Has anyone been crazy enough to make an onyx bolt? I cant emagine what a Million GP shot worth of damage will do. It's more like a shot. Here's the math: You can buy onyx bolt tips at 1500 tokkull each. 300k tokkul is about 3m on the chaos to tokkul exchange rate for chaos bought from the mage guild store (world hopping). 300k/1500=200. You'd get 200 tips for 3m gp or so. 3m divided by 200 is 15k gp per tip. 15k per tip + 1.5k per bolt + 15gp per feather comes to 16515 gp ber bolt. So they arn't incredibly expensive, but they are definitely one of the most expensive ammo for ranged yet. I wonder what they work like. If I had that kind of money to spare, I'd probubly take some to the duel arena. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used x bow for fight caves, so I should know that you can do it there. If you use an x bow at caves with a crossbow you will lose 2 inventory spaces because x bow + racks take up spots then the rune crossbow and the ruby bolts would take up 2 spots. Don't question me, I know what I am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gempoult Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 the special hits more often if you have better ranged atack bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd17 Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I think in general crossbows are over looked because with a rune crossbow and iron bolts I was hitting 13's with 80 range. Usually on rapid with MSB I'd only hit 10's. I wonder how I'd do with just the addy bolts and the spec would be a bonus to help it along. Goodluck on hitting some more of those 48-50's and proving that they are indeed well worth the effort to make/buy and use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
