Rune crossbow

The rune crossbow is a crossbow requiring 61 Ranged to wield. It can fire up to and including runite bolts. It is equipable with a shield, a great advantage for player killing, and fighting monsters such as dragons which require an anti-dragon shield. The crossbow has an attack range of 7. Longrange increases attack range by 2.

Rune crossbows can be made through the Fletching skill at level 69; a player must first cut a yew stock for the crossbow from yew logs, granting 50 Fletching experience. Then, a player must add runite limbs with a hammer to the stock, granting 100 experience and making an unstrung rune crossbow. Finally, they must string the crossbow with crossbow string, granting 50 experience.

A common method for Ironmen to obtain a rune crossbow without the requirements to create one is by defeating the Crazy archaeologist. The rune crossbow is commonly used among low level and Ironmen to complete the TzHaar Fight Cave due to its low price or ease of access, as well is its very cheap ammunition. One can also obtain this item from elite clues.
