Contents

Stats and numbers

  • An aquanite tendon, which Aquanites can drop, can be combined with a mithril bar to create the Aquanite hopper, a ranged off-hand.1
  • The Aquanite hopper gives crossbows a 10% chance to fire twice, with the second bolt having reduced damage, accuracy and enchanted bolt chance (blog says 67% reduced).2
  • The Aquanite hopper gives +12 ranged attack and +1 ranged strength, against the Twisted buckler's +18 and +10 as Gnomonkey remembers them.3

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey assumes the second bolt works at 33% damage and accuracy, given the blog says it won't replace the Twisted buckler as best in slot, and notes it would add only about a 2% extra chance at a ruby proc.4
  • Gnomonkey thinks the Aquanite hopper could be a gap filler for ironmen before the Twisted buckler, because ranged off-hands are hard to obtain, and calls it either pretty good or pretty garbage depending on implementation.5
  • Gnomonkey calls the Aqua Knight Hopper complete trash that no one uses for any reason, and says it definitely needs help.6
  • Gnomonkey says he would not bring the Aqua Knight Hopper anywhere even if he had it, and that the Antler guard would be a faster way of getting effectively the same DPS.7

Events

  • Potential buffs for the Aqua Knight Hopper and Bell's Folly are being considered as part of the next summer sweep-up, though nothing is confirmed.6
