You cannot use an offhand with blowpipe, correct. Even at dragons I think blowpipe is better. There are certain antifire potions that offer 100% dragon fire protection when used with protect from magic. I’m not exactly sure how it works, as I haven’t had a blowpipe before (haven’t gotten one on my ironman yet unfortunately)

Crossbows are useful in pvp, and also in situations where the boss you are fighting has high health because you can use ruby bolt (e) which the special attack of which has a 10% chance to proc can hit up to 100 damage. This is useful on the last stage of olm and other end game content.

Blowpipe is good because it is one of the fastest if not the fastest shooting ranged weapon and you can fire darts up to dragon out of it

I wish I had more information to give you about why the blowpipe is so good, just trust me it is. Hahaha


Very interesting, I had no idea about the ruby bolt thing lol. This game is so much more than I originally thought it to be. I'm still used to the original classic version, with 3 rounds of combat and such haha. There wasn't much to do other than skill or pvp back then, so that's all I know about really. There is so much about this game now that I'd like to discover and I feel I'm learning more stuff about it each day.

I don't plan on doing any pvp because I'll probably suck compared to most players I've seen, but just grinding for cash and maxing stats seems good enough for now.

Thanks for your time and efforts though, I really appreciate you taking some time to give me some info :D
I'll keep browsing the Wiki page and checking back on here since a lot of you guys here seem to know what you're talking about.
