Crossbow (weapon)

Crossbows are weapons used in ranged combat that require a certain Ranged level to wield. They are different than bows in that they are horizontal and can be held with one hand (except for the Karil's crossbow), allowing a player to carry a shield with the other.

Free-to-play players are recommended to stay with bows as the crossbows available to them are weak, while members have very strong crossbows. Crossbows require ammunition in the form of bolts.

Free-to-play crossbows
Free-to-play has access to only two crossbows that are both available from level 1 Ranged. They have both +6 Ranged accuracy and are capable of shooting just bronze bolts.

Standard crossbows
Metal crossbows can be created through the Fletching skill. Most limbs and stocks can be purchased at the crossbow stall in the dwarven city of Keldagrim.
