Gravite chargebow

The Gravite shortbow is a ranged weapon obtained as a reward through the Dungeoneering skill. It can use arrows up to Rune. The gravite shortbow requires a Ranged level of 55 and a Dungeoneering level of 45 to wield. Each gravite shortbow initially starts at 20% charge, with a fully charged gravite shortbow lasting 10 hours in combat before it cannot be used. Once all the charges have been used up, it can be recharged for a fee by the Rewards trader.

The gravite shortbow is currently the most accurate shortbow available in free-to-play worlds, surpassing the magic shortbow, but not by a lot. A player with a sufficiently high Ranged level could possibly achieve higher damage per second than the gravite 2h with this weapon.

If one chooses to repair the shortbow with coins only it costs around 50 coins per shot, or 5 coins and 0.325 if players choose otherwise. This does not take into account the arrows that will be used up in combat.

The gravite shortbow has a higher speed and damage than that of the magic longbow (sighted), but no defence or life bonus, while the sighted magic longbow has both a high defence and life bonus.
