Hexhunter bow (Dungeoneering)

The Hexhunter bow is a bow found in the dungeon of Daemonheim while Dungeoneering. The bow is a unique drop from the Soulgazer, requiring 98 Ranged to wield. Its ranged damage increases with as your opponent's magic level increases. The bow is one of the rarest and most sought-after items in Dungeoneering and is a highly recommended bind.

The Hexhunter bow has a better damage rate than melee weapons when fighting mages, necromancers, reborn mages, all dragons, and the three basic types of demons. It is of great help when doing challenge rooms against Mercenary Leaders or Ramokee Skinweavers and Stormbringers. The bow is also very useful for bosses which require ranging such as Necrolord and outhits melee on many other bosses. It is known that the Hexhunter bow can hit 500-600s bosses such as Shadow-Forger Ihlakhizan, Unholy Cursebearer, Bal'lak the Pummeller, Runebound Behemoth, Flesh-Spoiler and many other bosses. Players who bind it usually also bind Sagittarian Arrows and set their class rings to quickswitch between Berserker and Desperado.

Though the Soulgazer officially requires level 99 Slayer to damage, it can be killed by a player with any Slayer level using retribution prayer, wrath curse, and the special effect of the Blood Necklace. Recoil damage, such as deflect curses and the vengeance spell require your slayer level to be 99 to damage the Soulgazer. Players can also use Survivalist's Potions to temporarily raise their Slayer level. The bow can be bound at any Slayer and Ranged level; the only requirement to wield it is 98 Ranged.

Soulgazers can be found in all sizes of dungeons with a large enough team and a high complexity setting. However, due to internal dungeoneering mechanics, they can never appear to a solo player even during a medium-size, complexity 6 dungeon.
