Contents

Requirements

  • Gnomonkey recommends completing the Candar (Western Provinces) hard diary because it increases the bolts' special effect proc chance by 10%.1

Stats and numbers

  • The Dragon hunter crossbow is significantly better against any dragon-based enemy.2
  • The Dragon hunter crossbow has 95 ranged attack bonus versus the Armadyl crossbow's 100, losing the special attack and prayer bonus, but gets a 30% ranged attack and strength bonus against dragons.3

Tips

  • In the guide's gear setup the dragon hunter crossbow is used with enchanted ruby dragon bolts, with diamond dragon bolts in the inventory for a switch.4
  • Some players swap ruby bolts for diamond bolts at 35% Vorkath health, but he swaps at 40% because diamond bolts' proc chance is 5% higher than ruby bolts' and ruby bolts do the same damage regardless of Vorkath's health.5
  • The Dragon hunter crossbow is useful at Vorkath, the Chambers of Xeric and any chromatic dragon, including brutal black dragons.6

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey states in 2019 that the dragon hunter crossbow is the most effective weapon to kill Vorkath with, and the guide is specifically built around it.7
  • Gnomonkey says the Dragon hunter crossbow is worth buying on any account eventually, and before Armadyl armour if you want to farm Vorkath for money.6
