The aquanite hopper is a ranged offhand requiring level 60 Ranged to equip. It is created by using an aquanite tendon on an anvil whilst having a mithril bar and hammer in the player's inventory, requiring level 60 Smithing and granting 350 experience.

The hopper is a purely offensive shield slot item with no defensive bonuses, but possesses a passive effect in which crossbows are given an 11% chance^[1] to fire a second shot when the hopper is equipped. This second shot has 33.3% reduced accuracy, 66.7% reduced damage, and 66.7% reduced enchanted bolt proc chance; if the first shot procs an enchanted bolt effect, the second shot will never do so.

Bug:

When used with a Dorgeshuun crossbow, Hunters' crossbow or Hunters' sunlight crossbow, the player stops attacking when the passive effect should activate.

Comparison to Twisted buckler

When used in a maxed range setup, this item would give a range strength of 146 instead of 155 (with the twisted buckler). When adding the hidden +64 base strength, this gives an effective strength of 210 instead of 219. When adding the 11% chance of hitting 33.3% more, this would equate to about an equivalent strength of 217 (about 1% less than the buckler setup). However, in practice the hopper's expected damage is lower due to the 33.3% penalty to accuracy and 66.7% penalty to bolt proc chance, as well as a lower overall ranged attack bonus.
