Contents

Methods

  • To make seeker arrows, chop bloodwood trees for sap (a boss drop multiplies the sap), treat logs with the sap and cut them into special arrow shafts that you attach to heads; alternatively you can apply the sap to existing arrows such as dragon arrows.1

Stats and numbers

  • Seeker arrows fit any standard arrow head, including dragon, amethyst and rune, and give plus 23 ranged accuracy, about the same as Masori legs, to all ammunition-based bows such as the Twisted bow, Scorching bow and Magic shortbow.2
  • Seeker arrows also give a minimum hit bonus of plus two, raising your minimum damage from one to three, which matters more on fast weapons like the Magic shortbow than the Twisted bow.3
  • After the Seeker arrow change, at bosses where Shadow was close to or slightly better than the Twisted bow (for example Zilyana or Giant Mole), the Twisted bow becomes significantly better than Shadow.4
  • The Scorching bow is roughly 20 percent worse than Bow of Faerdhinen at all times even with the arrow buff, so Scorching bow will not overtake it.5

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey thinks the best use will be Scorching bow at Doom with Void, since bonus accuracy and a higher minimum hit matter a lot on a very fast weapon, and calls seeker arrows maybe the strongest addition from the update.3
  • Gnomonkey wonders whether the Bow of Faerdhinen stays useful since arrows cannot be used with it, and whether the Venator bow gets a minimum hit of three on every hit splat and a big accuracy buff, making Slayer and Colosseum runs faster.6
  • Gnomonkey says the minimum hit clarification is a lot worse than assumed (rolls of 1 or 2 are just raised to 3 rather than rolling 3 to max), so his Gearscape calcs assumed the minimum hit was better than it is.7
  • Gnomonkey dislikes that before the nerf the Twisted bow with Seeker arrows overtook Scythe on almost every mob in the Colosseum except Soul, since it makes Colosseum more boring when the safer ranged option does more damage.8
  • Gnomonkey believes that after the nerf plus the minimum hit clarification Scythe should still be slightly better than the Twisted bow in the Colosseum, so Scythe remains the best style there.9
  • Gnomonkey says the Venator bow gets a huge buff from Seeker arrows because each ricochet rolls accuracy and gets the minimum hit, making it much faster.10
  • Gnomonkey says Seeker arrows massively buff the Scorching bow where it is already good, such as at Mokhaiotl with Void armor, since accuracy is pure benefit to armor with little accuracy.11

Events

  • Jagex reduced the accuracy bonus of both Seeker arrows and the Necklace of Pursuit (renamed Rupture) to plus 20, to reduce their combined power.12

Trivia

  • Seeker arrows have a minimum hit of three, which Jagex clarified is applied after all damage modifiers: damage is rolled normally and only raised to three if it would be lower.13
