Dark bow



The Dark bow is the strongest bow that uses Dragon arrows. It is also the only bow that is able to fire Dragon arrows. It is a drop from Dark beasts, which requires level 90 Slayer to kill. Level 60 Ranged is required to use it. The dark bow has a very slow rate of fire, but it fires two arrows at once. The dark bow cannot fire ogre arrows of any kind. Currently, it is the slowest weapon in game, and due to this slow rate of fire, players using the accurate attack mode when ranging with the dark bow may find their monsters stolen by other players with fast weapons. When a dark bow user uses the rapid attack mode, players with throwing knives or darts can also steal the monster attacked by the user of the dark bow.

The Dark bow has 2 special attacks:


 * Descent of Darkness: Inflicts up to 30% more damage. Minimum of 5 damage per arrow.
 * Descent of Dragons: When using dragon arrows, inflicts up to 50% more damage. Minimum of 8 damage per arrow.

Both attacks will always hit.

When first released, some players sold them for up to 100 million coins.

Strangely, the dark bow can be used for the archery contest mini-game although it only fires one arrow at a time there.

The Dark Bow is also a very popular Bounty Hunter item, since the special attack Descent of Darkness: Inflicts up to 30% more damage. Not only is it popular in Player Killing but a very popular twin pk item if one's not good enough try two, making it hard to pk in a multi-combat area.

Development Diaries
The Impetuous Impulses development diary contains a description of the development of the dark bow. The diary contains artist impressions of the dark bow, which form the basis for the development of the bow itself and its special effect.
