A player attacks a target with the webweaver bow.

The webweaver bow is an upgraded variant of Craw's bow, requiring level 70 in Ranged to wield. It is created by combining Craw's bow with the Fangs of Venenatis. This process requires level 85 Fletching. Players without the required level to combine the items may ask Derse Venator in Ferox Enclave to do so instead, for a fee of 500,000. The item counts as an Armadylean item in the God Wars Dungeon.

The bow is identical in function to Craw's bow, but with increased stats and a special attack.

Passive effect

When attacking any NPC in the Wilderness, an additional 50% ranged accuracy and damage boost is applied. This effect will stack multiplicatively with a Slayer helmet (i) or a Salve amulet(i) and their variants, but not both simultaneously. This makes it the strongest ranged weapon in the Wilderness, surpassing the damage output of a toxic blowpipe with dragon darts.

Special attack

A player performing the Webweaver bow's special attack, Swarm.

The webweaver bow has a special attack, Swarm, which consumes 50% of the player's special attack energy. The special attack hits an enemy four times in succession with doubled accuracy, each dealing up to 40%, rounded up, of the player's max hit.

Each hit also has a chance to inflict poison, starting at four damage.

Charging and death

In order to use the bow, it must first be activated with 1,000 revenant ether (costing 178,000 coins). The 1,000 ether used to activate the bow does not count towards the ammo usage of the bow, thus additional ether must be added (up to 16,000) in order to fire it. Using the bow requires revenant ether whether inside the Wilderness or not, but the 50% ranged accuracy and damage boost only applies while inside the Wilderness.

The bow uses 1 revenant ether per shot and fires 2000 shots per hour on the rapid attack style. Thus the hourly cost of constantly using this weapon is 2,000 ether or 356,000 coins on Rapid, or 1,500 ether or 267,000 coins on Accurate/Longrange.

The ether can be safely removed by selecting the right-click Uncharge option on the bow, after which the bow becomes tradeable again.

Upon death within the Wilderness, any revenant ether stored as ammo within the bow will always be dropped and the initial 1,000 activation ether will always be provided to the killer, even if it is one of the player's protected items. Therefore, dying with an activated bow incurs a minimum loss of 1,000 ether. Despite the bow being able to store a maximum of 17,000 revenant ether, it is recommended to store the minimum amount required for a trip into the Wilderness (in addition to the 1,000 ether required to activate the weapon).

If the death is caused by an NPC the ether can be recovered in the death office.

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.
	Dragon hunter crossbow	70	+95	(+122)	58,213,298	Offers the third highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, outclassed only by the Armadyl and Zaryte crossbow. Increases accuracy and damage by 30% and 25% respectively when fighting draconic creatures.
	Armadyl crossbow	70	+100	(+122)	54,824,589	Has a slightly longer attack range than other crossbows. One of only two crossbows that offer a prayer bonus, the other being the Zaryte crossbow.

	Webweaver bow	70	+85	+65	19,143,072	Upgraded version of the Craw's bow, which requires the fangs of Venenatis to create. Must be charged with revenant ether to be fired, but it does provide its own 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, but not both simultaneously. This makes 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)	103,163	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)	5,462	Offers the sixth highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, outclassed by the Zaryte crossbow, Armadyl crossbow, Dragon hunter, dragon crossbow and rune crossbows. Uses Sunlight antler bolts and Moonlight antler bolts as ammunition, giving +55 and +60 ranged strength which are equivalent to Amethyst arrows and Dragon arrows, respectively. Unlike most crossbows, it has a base attack speed of 4, making it comparable to a Magic shortbow (i) but with a slightly higher range (8 tiles) and accuracy. The addition of a ranged boosting shield further increases the accuracy and damage while also providing defensive bonuses. The Hunters' sunlight crossbow is significantly cheaper than the Magic shortbow (i) and Dragon crossbow. It is also easier to obtain for Ironmen, requiring 74 Fletching to make. However, Ironmen can only obtain the ammunition via Hunter.
	Dragon crossbow	64	+94	(+122)	1,220,988	Offers the fourth highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, outclassed by the Zaryte crossbow, Armadyl crossbow, and dragon hunter crossbow. 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.
	Rune crossbow	61	+90	(+115)	10,105	Offers the fifth highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, outclassed by the Zaryte crossbow, Armadyl crossbow, Dragon hunter, and dragon crossbows. It is considerably cheaper than the Armadyl and dragon hunter crossbows.
	Craw's bow	60	+75	+60	19,008,294	Must be charged with revenant ether to be fired, but it does provide its own 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, but not both simultaneously. This makes it the second strongest ranged weapon in the Wilderness, surpassing the damage output of a toxic blowpipe with dragon darts. Shares the same bonuses as the magic shortbow (i) with the ranged strength of dragon arrows.
	Dark bow	60	+95	(+60)	1,368,936	Offers the fifth highest Ranged attack bonus in the game, behind the bow of Faerdhinen (+128), heavy ballista (+125), the Zaryte crossbow (+110), and the crystal bow and Armadyl crossbow (+100). Has the ability to shoot two arrows at a time. The slowest weapon in the game, with an attack speed of 9 (5.4 seconds). 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)	830	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%.
	Magic shortbow (i)		+75		37,074
	Magic comp bow	50	+71	(+55)	3,144	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)	44,793	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)	1,312	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)	2,801	Offers the sixth highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game. Has an attack speed equal to that of longbows and an attack range equal to that of shortbows. Because of the slower attack speed and the potential for overkill from its higher max hit, it deals less damage over extended periods than the magic shortbow, and should be used primarily when additional defence is needed through the use of a shield, or if enchanted bolt effects are needed.
	Chinchompas	45 (Grey)	+45	N/A	Varies	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, and rune thrownaxe, with a ricochet special type attack, and Venator bow with a passive ricochet attack. Regarded to be the best way of training Ranged, but at a very high cost. Has an attack speed of 4 (the same as scimitars, maces, and whips). If a player dies with chinchompas equipped or in their inventory, they will disappear, as they are live animals.
		55 (Red)	+70	+15
		65 (Black)	+80	+30
	Salamanders	30 (Green)	+20	(+16)	137	Unique and versatile two-handed weapons that facilitate the use of all three combat styles.
		50 (Orange)	+29	(+22)	170
		60 (Red)	+47	(+31)	66
		70 (Black)	+69	(+49)	435
		80 (Tecu)	+87	(+60)	283,360
	Dorgeshuun crossbow	28	+42	(+49)	2,222	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.
	Throwing knives	40 (Rune)	+25	+24	Varies	Have high damage output, but are significantly more expensive compared to other low-level options.
	Shortbows	40 (Yew)	+47	(+49)	359	Offer slightly less damage output than using rune knives, but are a lot cheaper.
	Darts	30 (Adamant)	N/A	+17	Varies	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	743,138	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 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 Ranged defence.
