Karil's crossbow is a two-handed ranged weapon that is part of Karil the Tainted's set. It requires 70 Ranged to wield. It fires bolt racks, which break upon firing. When equipped with the other three pieces of Karil the Tainted's set the wearer will receive the set effect, which has a chance to temporarily lower their target's Agility level. Additionally, if an amulet of the damned is worn alongside the set, there is also a 25% chance for each attack to deal a second hit for half the damage of the first.

Unlike standard crossbows, it is wielded in both hands. Furthermore, regular crossbows fire fewer, more powerful shots, meaning Karil's crossbow is actually similar in function to a shortbow; this gives it a potentially higher damage per second, at the expense of the shield slot. The crossbow has an attack range of 8. Longrange increases attack range by 2.

This weapon is comparable to a magic shortbow and its imbued counterpart. While Karil's offers a longer range, a +15 or +9 greater ranged attack bonus respectively, and a passive chance to hit twice when using the full Karil set and amulet of the damned, the magic shortbow variants offer identical strength when using amethyst arrows, which are not guaranteed to be consumed with each shot. In addition, the magic shortbows do not degrade. Players on a budget or fighting monsters with low ranged defence may find the magic shortbow to be the preferable option.

Barrows equipment degrades as it is used. Equipment received from the Barrows reward chest is fully repaired and can be used for 15 hours of combat until it degrades completely and requires repair before it can be used again. Barrows armour degrades even if the player is using protection prayers or not taking damage. Barrows equipment does not suffer in performance as it degrades from fully repaired to fully degraded. Fully repaired Barrows items start out with no numbers in their names, e.g. Karil's crossbow. It will become Karil's crossbow 100 the first time it's used in combat. Eventually it will degrade to Karil's crossbow 75, then 50, then 25 and finally 0 at which point the equipment will be unusable until repaired. Additionally, Barrows equipment may only be traded if fully repaired or fully degraded.

When dropped or lost on dangerous PvP death, any piece of Barrows equipment will automatically degrade to 0. Players who attempt to drop Barrows equipment will receive a warning message about this. As a bank note, dropping will not break the equipment.

There are two ways to repair Barrows equipment. Players can talk to any of the NPCs listed below and they will repair the items for a price, or repair the pieces themselves using an armour stand in any player-owned house. The equipment can be repaired at any stage, and the cost will be adjusted according to how much it has degraded. The repair costs below are as if the equipment has fully degraded.

The following NPCs can repair the equipment:

• Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
• Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
• Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
• Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost
• Aneirin - the armour seller in Prifddinas
• Blacksmith - the blacksmith of Civitas illa Fortis

It costs less to repair Barrows equipment at an armour stand compared to paying an NPC. Stat boosts do affect the price of repair. The formula used to calculate the cost at a repair stand is:

A player with a Smithing level of 60, for instance, would pay 70% of normal cost:

Simply put, every 2 Smithing levels reduces the repair cost by 1% when compared to an NPC vendor. At level 99 this equals roughly 50% in savings.

]

Name		level required	Ranged attack	Ranged strength (Max ammo)	Price	Notes
	Twisted bow	85	+70	+20 (+80)	1,406,366,161	Has a passive effect where the higher the target's Magic level or Magic attack bonus is, the more accurate and damaging it becomes. Against high magic levels, it is usually the strongest ranged weapon in the game. Uses arrows as ammunition up to and including dragon. Has the maximum attack range of 10. Attack speed of 5 ticks on rapid.
	Zaryte crossbow	80	+110	(+122)	356,941,709	The strongest crossbow in the game. Has a special attack which provides double accuracy on the next shot and guarantees the special effect of any enchanted bolts used if it hits, costing 75% special attack energy. Its passive effect strengthens the effects of enchanted bolts by 10%. Can fire up to dragon bolts.
	Bow of Faerdhinen	80	+128	+106	106,792,343	Has the highest ranged bonus of any ranged weapon, including a +106 Ranged Strength bonus. Receives significant damage and accuracy bonuses if worn alongside pieces of crystal armour. When created, the bow starts off at 10,000 charges and degrades. The bow can be upgraded to the bow of Faerdhinen (c) for 2,000 crystal shards to stop it from degrading - usage contributes to this cost. Has the maximum attack range of 10.
	Venator bow	80	+90	+25 (+85)	70,841,220	Has a passive effect when charged with ancient essence that allows arrows to ricochet to nearby targets when in a multicombat area. Poor single target performance but excels in multicombat. Uses arrows as ammunition up to and including dragon. Has an attack speed of 4 ticks on rapid, between that of a shortbow and a longbow.
	Scorching bow	77	+124	+40 (+100)	30,770,431[n 1]	Untradeable; created from a tormented synapse and magic longbow (u) with 74 Fletching. Has a passive effect that increases accuracy and damage by 30% against demons, making it incredibly strong against them. Offers a special attack that binds demonic creatures in place for 20 ticks (12 seconds) and deals burn damage. With an innate 40 strength bonus, it performs decently well against non-demonic targets. Uses arrows as ammunition up to and including dragon. Has the maximum attack range of 10.
	Toxic blowpipe	75	+30	+20 (+55)	10,256,099	The strongest blowpipe, with an innate ranged strength of 20. Relatively weak accuracy but fast, high damage, making it great against low defence targets. Requires Zulrah's scales and any unpoisoned darts to charge. Ranged strength bonus stacks with the darts that are used to charge the blowpipe (up to +55 ranged strength with dragon darts). Offers a special attack where accuracy is increased by 100% and damage is increased by 50%, and heals the user by half of the damage dealt. Costs 50% special attack energy. Has 25% chance per shot to inflict venom on an opponent. Has an attack speed of 2 ticks on rapid (non-pvp; 3 ticks in pvp).
	Heavy ballista	75	+125	+15 (+165)	1,015,721	Has the second highest ranged bonus of any ranged weapon, including a +15 Ranged Strength bonus. Slow-firing but very high damage, with low average DPS, but good KO potential. Only accepts javelins as ammunition. Offers a special attack which increases accuracy and damage by 25% each for one shot. Costs 65% special attack energy. Requires completion of Monkey Madness II to equip.
	Eclipse atlatl	75	+87	+40 (Melee)	784,654	Uniquely uses the player's melee strength bonuses when determining the amount of ranged damage dealt to a target. The max hit is based off of visible boosts to melee stats (eg. super combat potion) and ranged boosting prayers (eg. Rigour). Only accepts atlatl darts as ammunition. If worn with the rest of the eclipse moon armour set, it offers a set effect which has a 20% chance to inflict a stackable burn effect on the targets. Offers a special attack which consumes the remaining burn effect in exchange for increasing the player's minimum and maximum hit. Costs 50% special attack energy.
	Armadyl crossbow	70	+100	(+122)	34,180,711	Offers a special attack where the player's accuracy and enchanted bolts activation chance for that shot is doubled. Costs 50% special attack energy. Along with the Zaryte crossbow, has a slightly longer attack range than other crossbows. Can fire up to dragon bolts.
	Dragon hunter crossbow	70	+95	(+122)	31,832,007	Similar base stats to the Armadyl and dragon crossbows. Increases accuracy and damage by 30% and 25% respectively when fighting draconic creatures. Can fire up to dragon bolts.
	Crystal bow	70	+100	+78	481,365[n 2]	Does not use ammunition, instead uses charges, provided either with crystal shards or by purchase for GP. Available as a quest reward and becomes cheaper to charge with usage. Has an attack speed of 4 ticks on rapid, between that of a shortbow and a crossbow. Has the maximum attack range of 10. Receives noticeable damage and accuracy bonuses if worn alongside pieces of crystal armour.
	Webweaver bow	70	+85	+65	15,683,884	Upgraded version of the Craw's bow, which requires the fangs of Venenatis to create. Must be charged with revenant ether to be fired, and does not require ammo, similar to the crystal bow. While charged, an additional 50% ranged accuracy and damage boost is applied when attacking any NPC in the Wilderness. This effect will stack with a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet, making it the strongest ranged weapon in the Wilderness. Has a special attack that hits an enemy four times in succession with increased accuracy, each dealing up to 40% of the player's max hit, along with a chance to inflict poison, starting at 4 damage. Costs 50% special attack energy.
	Karil's crossbow	70	+84	(+55)	98,751	One of the fastest crossbows, together with the hunters' crossbow. Can only fire bolt racks, which cannot be retrieved by an Ava's device. If worn with the rest of Karil the Tainted's equipment, it offers a set effect which lowers the target's Agility level (only works on players). Wearing an amulet of the damned together with the whole equipment set grants a 25% chance for an attack to hit twice, in which case the second hit will inflict half the damage of the first. Like all Barrows equipment, it degrades and will fully degrade after 15 hours of combat. It is repairable.
	Hunters' sunlight crossbow	66 50	+79	(+60)	6,844	Significantly cheaper than other options while still being quite strong, especially against lower-defence targets. Unlike most crossbows, it has an attack speed of 3 on rapid, making it comparable to a Magic shortbow (i) but with a slightly higher range (8 tiles) and accuracy, along with being one-handed. It is also easier to obtain for Ironmen, requiring 74 Fletching to make. However, Ironmen can only obtain the ammunition via Hunter. Uses Sunlight antler bolts or Moonlight antler bolts as ammunition, giving +55 and +60 ranged strength which are equivalent to Amethyst arrows and Dragon arrows, respectively.
	Dragon crossbow	64	+94	(+122)	675,279	Has similar base stats to Armadyl and Dragon Hunter crossbows, while being markedly cheaper. Offers a special attack where the player can hit any target in a 3x3 area, while in a multicombat area, making it one of three range weapons that can hit multiple targets. Costs 60% special attack energy. Can fire up to dragon bolts.
	Rune crossbow	61	+90	(+115)	9,232	Considerably cheaper than dragon-bolt firing crossbows, but of course weaker. Good low-budget option for higher defence/HP enemies, compared to a Magic shortbow (i). Can fire up to runite bolts.
	Craw's bow	60	+75	+60	15,400,045	Must be charged with revenant ether to be fired, and does not require ammo, similar to the crystal bow. While charged, an additional 50% ranged accuracy and damage boost is applied when attacking any NPC in the Wilderness. This effect will stack with a Slayer helmet or a Salve amulet and their variants. This makes it the second strongest ranged weapon in the Wilderness. Shares the same bonuses as the magic shortbow (i) with the ranged strength of dragon arrows.
	Dark bow	60	+95	(+60)	705,217	Has the ability to shoot two arrows at a time. The slowest weapon in the game, with an attack speed of 8 ticks on rapid - at 4 ticks per arrow, this makes it worse than other bows for raw DPS, but has much stronger KO potential. Offers a powerful special attack, which if used with dragon arrows increases damage dealt by 50% with a minimum hit of 8 (30% with any other arrow type with a minimum. hit of 5). Costs 55% special attack energy.
	Magic shortbow	50	+69	(+55)	771	Remarkably cheap, even when imbued. Weaker accuracy than the rune crossbow but the fast firing makes it good budget DPS. The only shortbow to offer a special attack, which fires 2 shots in rapid succession but with reduced accuracy. Costs 55% special attack energy. Can be imbued with a magic shortbow scroll, increasing its ranged attack bonus to +75 and lowering the special attack cost to 50%. Can fire up to amethyst arrows.
	Magic shortbow (i)		+75		33,818
	Magic comp bow	50	+71	(+55)	1,931	The only composite bow to offer a special attack, which is guaranteed to hit the target but is not boosted by damage-boosting prayers or the Slayer helmet (i). Costs 35% special attack energy. Shares this special attack with the magic longbow. Is slightly more accurate than the magic longbow and 1 tick faster (1 tick slower than the shortbow), while keeping the same attack range of the longbow.
	Seercull	50	+69	(+55)	45,389	Has slightly less accuracy but otherwise identical stats to the magic comp bow. Has a special attack that targets mages by lowering their Magic level, costing 100% special attack energy.
	Magic longbow	50	+69	(+55)	1,130	The only longbow to offer a special attack, which is guaranteed to hit the target but is not boosted by damage-boosting prayers or the Slayer helmet (i). Costs 35% special attack energy. Shares this special attack with the magic comp bow. Like all longbows, is 2 ticks slower than the magic shortbow, in exchange for 3 additional attack range. Unlike the magic shortbow, cannot be imbued.
	Adamant crossbow	46	+78	(+100)	884	Similar to the rune crossbow with slightly less ranged accuracy. Can fire up to adamant bolts.
	Chinchompas	45 (Grey)	+45	N/A	Varies[n 3]	One of the four ranged weapons that offers the ability to hit more than one opponent at a time (similar to burst or barrage Ancient Magicks), the others being the special attack of the dragon crossbow (with a similar attack), the rune thrownaxe (with a ricochet special type attack), and the Venator bow with a passive ricochet attack. Excels against multiple close-together targets, where at least one has a low defence. Regarded to be the best way of training Ranged, but at a very high cost. Has an attack speed of 3 ticks on rapid/medium fuse.
		55 (Red)	+70	+15
		65 (Black)	+80	+30
	Salamanders	30 (Green)	+20	(+16)	168	Unique and versatile two-handed weapons that facilitate the use of all three combat styles. Notably lower DPS than other options.
		50 (Orange)	+29	(+22)	160
		60 (Red)	+47	(+31)	38
		70 (Black)	+69	(+49)	272
		80 (Tecu)	+87	(+60)	249,716
	Dorgeshuun crossbow	28	+42	(+49)	2,662	Is one tick faster than most other crossbows and it is able to fire bone bolts, which are significantly cheaper than most other ammunition of similar strength. Popular for low-cost ranged training.
	Shortbows	40 (Yew)	+47	(+49)	319	Offer slightly less damage output than using rune knives, but are a lot cheaper.
	Darts	30 (Adamant)	N/A	+17	Varies[n 3]	Are cheap, deal decent damage and are easy to buy from the Grand Exchange. Adamant darts have comparable damage output to using a shortbow with rune arrows, so players should use whichever is cheaper.
	Dwarf multicannon	N/A	N/A	N/A	742,791	Can be set up and used alongside other weapons for passive Ranged damage and experience. Cannot be set up in all areas. Has a static max hit of 30 with steel cannonballs and 35 with granite cannonballs. Derives accuracy from player's current attack style (Ranged while ranging, Melee while meleeing, and whichever is higher with powered staves) while rolling against the target's heavy Ranged defence.
^ Untradeable; cost is of the tormented synapse and magic longbow (u) required to craft it. ^ Cost of having Ilfeen charge a crystal weapon seed after obtaining minimum cost. ^ 3.0 3.1 Cost of thrown weapons is only that of the ammo.

• The full Karil's armour set on body type A.
• The full Karil's armour set on body type B.

• Karil's crossbow is based on the real life Chu-Ko-Nu, an ancient Chinese crossbow that used a rapid fire system.
• Karil's crossbow, or at least the inspiration for its design, may have originated from the Eastern Lands, as Ak-Haranu, a trader from the Eastern Lands, sells bolt racks which are compatible with the crossbow.
  • Additionally, in the The Fall of Six story, it is said that Sliske obtained the armour and weapons he gave to the Barrows brothers from "many distant lands", supporting the possibility that the crossbow is from the Eastern Lands.^[1]
  • In Postbag from the Hedge issue 17, Ak-Haranu reveals that the bolt racks are "from empire's armies" which he is selling to get home.^[2]
