Kayle's sling

Kayle's Sling is a two-handed Ranged weapon. It requires 1 Ranged to hold and doesn't require ammunition of any kind, as rocks are picked up off of the ground.

It offers a +6.5 ranged strength bonus and a +5 ranged attack bonus. It has the same speed as a shortbow. This item is popular among low leveled players due to the fact that no ammunition is required and that it is given freely as a quest reward. If lost, it can be re-obtained from Xenia, outside the Lumbridge Catacombs, along with the other Cultist's weapons. It should also be noted that pures can get one by starting the quest, grabbing Kayle's sling and then go outside without completing it.

It is a good training weapon for low leveled rangers, because it's free and has better Ranged Strength than iron and bronze knives, although it's slightly slower and is a two-handed weapon so many players prefer to use knives anyway. It is much more useful in free worlds, as it has attack strength near to bronze arrows but without need for ammo, thus ideal to be used at weak monsters to train. A good full ranged armour is recommended though to compensate the low accuracy.

When a player's Ranged level increases to level 5, equipping the Sling will result in a message stating that at this ranged level, it would be better to use bows and arrows. It also directs you to the advisory icon in the corner of the screen. After clicking through the first message, there are no future messages about the sling not being recommended for the Ranged level.



Trivia

 * It looks similar to a normal Sling, but Kayle's Sling is red.
 * For a small period of time before the slings (both Kayle's and regular) were released, Kayle held and used one, but did not drop it. It is unknown whether this was a glitch or intended.

 * Even though Kayle's Sling is a two handed weapon, your avatar only uses one hand when attacking with it.
