The crossbow is the weakest type of crossbow, along with the Phoenix crossbow, and requires a Ranged level of 1 to wield. It can only fire bronze bolts and mith grapples. The crossbow and the bolts can be bought from Lowe's Archery Emporium in Varrock. There is a crossbow spawn in the Graveyard of Shadows, Bone Yard, and Hugor's house at Land's End (south-west of the Kourend Woodland).
It possesses the longest rapid-style attack range of any crossbow in the game, with 10 tiles.
