September 20, 200619 yr Hey guys i haven't been on RuneScape for a while and i noticed all these new crossbows? Whats everyones thoughts on them? Are they good? Bad? Useless? Also a question from me: Can you use normal bolts with the new crossbows? Discuss.
September 20, 200619 yr i kinda like them especially the dragonstone bolts :) dragonbreath FTW yes you can use normal bolts with them
September 20, 200619 yr In my opinion, I'd stick with the good old MSB. SOME crossbow specs are ok, but they are too random. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!]
September 20, 200619 yr hate them, im a bit scared of deep wildy now because ive ran into 4 ranger pk teams all with dstone bolts, and they kill me within 2 volleys.... Killed Hobgoblin Champion: 1/28/07 The economy is run by 13 year olds. Inflation hits when their girlfriends dump them. Besides, in any normal economy an influx of new items is a good shot in the arm.
September 20, 200619 yr Author Sounds pretty shweet guys. I'm making myself a blurite one! So they all have different specs? Thanks for enligtening me on the question i asked BTW.
September 20, 200619 yr Save yourself the trouble by forgetting that the update exists. It's a waste of five whole minutes. Trust me.
September 20, 200619 yr actually its not bad just a little to slow for me i like the specs tho but too random
September 20, 200619 yr Crossbows are slow (really slow - short bow shoot twice while u shoot once). but they do nice damage (at least with mith/sapphire and above) i got my rune xbows from steel drags (3 in my last slayer task 19 stee ldrags) and alot of mith bolts from chaos duirds. so it is nice to use if it is free. but I won't buy one.

September 20, 200619 yr hate them, im a bit scared of deep wildy now because ive ran into 4 ranger pk teams all with dstone bolts, and they kill me within 2 volleys.... you would be dead if you ran into a 4 mager team, meeler, ect.... :shame:
September 20, 200619 yr I like the specials on some of the (e) bolts, but as said before they are a bit to slow. In addition, the special is random and for some reason never there when I need it most. :? It is also nice to be able to equip a shield, book or defender when using the c-bow. In short: If it were a little faster and a bit less random, it would be nice. For now ill stick to knifes, darts and mage short.
September 20, 200619 yr i kinda like them especially the dragonstone bolts :) dragonbreath FTW yes you can use normal bolts with them I'm sure this has been asked a million times, but, very roughy what is the frequency of the dragon breath special and what is your highest hit with it? I'll totally understand if I am scolded for asking this question because no, I didn't use the search button. :)
September 20, 200619 yr i like the new crossbows actually, the specials look pretty cool, and emerald bolts(e) are probably the cheapest way to super poison someone! Btw, the old "normal bolts" dont exist anymore. they were replaced with bronze bolts. Proud owner of a Quest cape!
September 20, 200619 yr I LOVE THEM!!! ahem, got a little carried away there, but seriously they own! for reasons i shall list here 1. one handed so you can use a crossbow with a shield, making for a higher ranged bonus(use a zammy or guth book) and higher hits with it 2. (e) bolts untradable so no more noobs robbing your bolts when your fighting dragons or such 3. specials one for every gem type, making it a weapon for every occasion 4. new ranged max hit using a blood forfiet bolts on the toughest monster on the game (the one, the only, tz tok jad) will get you a hit of over 60! (20% of his health) 5. dragon crossbow? the dragon/magic crossbow will, when it comes out, be the only ranged dragon weapon, and of course will look cool.... theres downsides too, and it wouldn't be fair not to list them... 1. slow.... yes, they are slower than a regular bow or throwing knives, but for the power you get from them its only fair right? 2. some specials are kinda useless... the jade and saphire ones being examples of this 3. specials dont happen all the time well what did you expect? some specials would be unfair to have on everytime (blood forfiet, dragonbreath) thats my 2 cents ~hawt Knight of the Void~Barrows drops: 3. veracs brassard, torags hammers & dharoks greataxe (double drop)
September 21, 200619 yr I LOVE THEM!!! 2. (e) bolts untradable so no more noobs robbing your bolts when your fighting dragons or such Here you are a bit off the mark. You are right to mention the fact that (e) bolts are untradable. However, the (e) bolts do nothing against the bolt/ arrow robbers. Once fired and on the ground they will appear as regular bolts to other players, hence they can be stolen.

September 21, 200619 yr I LOVE THEM!!! 2. (e) bolts untradable so no more noobs robbing your bolts when your fighting dragons or such if ur arrows appear on the floor the u r simply to slow and shld proobably ranging something else. Period. grtz, tru
