Whether you’re looking to upgrade your current ranged weapon or are considering purchasing one for the first time, there’s no doubt that there’s a wide variety of crossbows to choose from in Old School Runescape. Despite the large amount of choice, some weapons stand out over others in terms of their accuracy and damage bonuses, while the type of ammunition they can take also plays an important role.
The dragon hunter crossbow is a members only ranged weapon that can be obtained as a possible reward from the Chambers of Xeric. It requires level 65 Ranged to equip and increases both accuracy and damage by 30% when fighting dragons (excluding elvarg and revenant) and wyverns, as well as the Great Olm. This boost stacks additively with Void Knight equipment, but not multiplicatively. Unlike some other crossbows, it can be used with any type of bolt tip, including long kebbit bolts and broad bolts, which both require level 55 Slayer to use.
Although the dragon hunter crossbow is considered to be one of the best members only ranged weapons, it’s worth noting that there are other options out there. The toxic blowpipe is another popular choice for its impressive attack speed, although it does require a level 75 Ranged to wield. The twisted bow is also worth noting, as it offers the highest hit rate of any ranged bow in the game, with an additional bonus that allows players to strike a target based on their own magic level.
