2. 2

   Toxic blowpipe

   Mid

   ~4m

   Fast, accurate and long-lasting. The single most-used ranged weapon across Slayer and mid-tier bossing.

3. 3

   Dragon hunter crossbow

   High

   ~90m

   Buy this before a bow if you fight dragons — the dragonbane bonus dominates at Vorkath, Hydra and KBD.

4. 4

   Twisted bow / Zaryte crossbow

   Best in slot

   ~1.2b

   Twisted bow scales with enemy magic level (raids, high-magic bosses); Zaryte crossbow is the BiS bolt option elsewhere.
