The Zaryte crossbow is a ranged weapon that requires a Ranged level of 80 to wield, and can fire up to dragon bolts. Unlike other crossbows, the Zaryte crossbow grants defensive bonuses. It is one of two crossbows with a Prayer bonus, along with the Armadyl crossbow from which it is crafted. The crossbow has an attack range of 8, and the longrange combat style will increase it by 2. It is only outclassed by the Dragon hunter crossbow when fighting draconic monsters.

The crossbow itself is crafted by attaching a nihil horn, obtained as a rare drop from Nex, with an Armadyl crossbow and 250 nihil shards. The Zaryte crossbow counts as a Zarosian item, but not as an Armadylean item in the God Wars Dungeon. In addition, the crossbow possesses a special attack as well as a passive effect.

Passive effect

The Zaryte crossbow has a passive effect that strengthens the effects of enchanted bolts by 10%. For example, with enchanted ruby bolts, the bolt's special effect, Blood Forfeit, would deal 22% of the opponent's current hitpoints with a cap of 110 damage, rather than the usual 20% damage and 100 hitpoints damage cap.

Special attack

A player performing the Zaryte crossbow's special attack, Evoke, with enchanted diamond bolts.

The Zaryte crossbow has a special attack, Evoke, which consumes 75% of the player's special attack energy. The special attack provides doubled accuracy on the next shot, and guarantees the special effect of any enchanted bolts used, provided that the player lands a successful hit on the target.

Enchanted ruby bolts are the most popular bolts to use with Evoke in most boss encounters, especially when wearing the lightbearer, as successful hits often guarantee that 110 damage is dealt depending on when the player chooses to use the special attack. Coupled with natural procs, this makes it a very good option for speed-based Combat Achievement tasks.

Creation
