Armadyl CrossbowĬrossbow number four highlighted by the OSRS Crossbow Guide is the Armadyl Crossbow, which requires 70 Ranged to wield and uses ammunition up to dragon bolts. Simply combine the magic stock and the dragon limbs, then string the crossbow for your very own Dragon Crossbow. Or, you can buy the limbs on the Grand Exchange. The dragon limbs are dropped by Rune Dragons at a rate of 1 in 800, and also by Adamant Dragons at a rate of 1 in 1000. This locks the item (the limbs, not the whole Dragon Crossbow) behind the quest “Dragon Slayer II.” Dragon limbs cannot be smithed, they must be obtained from the higher tier metal dragons. Use this skill to cut magic logs into a magic stock. Unlike many other crossbows, the Dragon Crossbow can only be obtained through creating one, or buying one on the Grand Exchange. When combined with powerful enchantment effects, such as those from ruby or diamond bolts, dragon bolts provide some of the best Ranged ammunition in the game, if you can afford it.

For example, regular enchanted ruby bolts provide a Ranged Strength bonus of 103, while ruby enchanted dragon bolts provide a Ranged Strength bonus of 122. This way, you can take the strong effects from a weaker bolt, and combine them with a much stronger bolt. The gems a bolt is tipped with determine the enchantment effects of the bolt. Dragon bolts are special in that, unlike their lower tier counterparts, they can be tipped with any gem. It requires 64 Ranged to equip, and can fire bolts up to dragon. Dragon CrossbowĪnother crossbow worth elaboration on in this OSRS Crossbow Guide is the Dragon Crossbow. There are also a few shops that can have them, but their stock is always set to zero, so you would be better off buying one from the Grand Exchange. Kree’arra, the Armadyl God Wars Boss, drops rune crossbows at a rate of 1 in 15.87, and you can also get them from Elite clue scrolls at a rate of 1 in 32.3. For example, the Crazy Archaeologist in the Wilderness drops them at a rate of 1 in 25.6. However, there are other, easier methods of obtaining one. Simply attach a crossbow string to the unstrung crossbow, and you will have a rune crossbow. Attach them to make an unstrung crossbow. Then, smith a runite bar into runite limbs. Start by fletching yew logs into a yew stock. First, you can make one yourself from scratch, if you have 69 Fletching and 91 Smithing. There are several ways to acquire a rune crossbow in OSRS. Many players consider ruby and diamond enchanted bolt effects to be the best, which is why so many elect to use the rune crossbow, since it’s the first one they have access to that can fire these bolts.

The rune crossbow requires 61 Ranged to equip, and is often used by Ironman and mid-level players, since it can fire ammunition including runite bolts. The next crossbow detailed in the OSRS Crossbow Guide is the rune crossbow. If you have completed the ‘Lost Tribe’, you can buy the crossbow for a cheaper price at Nardok’s Bone Weapons in the Dorgesh-Kaan mines. If you have started ‘Lost Tribe” but not completed it, you can buy the Dorgeshuun crossbow from the Grand Exchange and equip it. To get the Dorgeshuun crossbow, you need to have started the quest “The Lost Tribe.” This quest requires you to have completed “Rune Mysteries” and “Goblin Diplomacy,” as well as have 13 Agility, 13 Thieving, and 17 Mining. The Dorgeshuun crossbow has a slightly faster attack speed than most of the other crossbows in the game, and can fire bolts up to iron, as well as a special ammunition type called bone bolts.

It requires 28 Ranged to equip, and is often used over other accessible crossbows at these low and mid levels. The first crossbow I will talk about in the OSRS Crossbow Guide is the Dorgeshuun Crossbow, also sometimes called the bone crossbow.
