The '''dark bow''' is a [[ranged weapon]] that requires level 60 in [[Ranged]] to wield. It is only received as a drop from [[Dark beast]]s. It is the slowest weapon in the game, with an attack speed of 1 (5.4 seconds). Its speed on rapid mode is 4.8 seconds. It shoots two arrows per attack. The dark bow has an [[attack range]] of 10. Longrange does not increase attack range.
 
 
Assuming that both weapons are set to the [[Rapid]] attack style, the dark bow has a firing time of '''2.4''' seconds per arrow, whereas a shortbow such as the [[magic shortbow (i)]] takes only '''1.8'''. Because of this, the dark bow is only fairly popular for [[Player killing]]. It has the highest max hit of any weapons in the game by means of [[special attack]] (although [[Twisted bow]] and [[Dharok's greataxe]] can hit harder with regular attacks and [[Dragon 2h sword]] is able to deal more total damage with its special attack).

10 tiles is the maximum distance for any attack in ''[[RuneScape]]''. The dark bow's attack range on Accurate and Rapid is 10, therefore Long Range can have no effect on this.
 
 
==Special attack==
 
The dark bow has a unique [[special attack]] comprised of two different attacks, both of which consume 55% of the player's special attack energy.
 
[[File:Descent of Dragons.gif|thumb|300px|A player performing one of the dark bow's special attacks, ''Descent of Dragons''.]]
 
The 1st special attack, ''Descent of Darkness'', deals up to 30% more damage with a minimum of 5 damage per arrow. The ''Descent of Darkness'' special attack animation shows the arrow shafts surrounded in a black shroud being fired at the target.
 
 
The 2nd special attack, ''Descent of Dragons'', can only be used if the player has [[dragon arrows]] equipped. This attack deals up to 50% more damage with a minimum of 8 damage per arrow, while capping the max hit at 48 damage per arrow{{CiteForum|author = Mod Ronan|url = http://services.runescape.com/m=news/architectural-alliance?oldschool=1|title = Architectural Alliance|forum = Old School RuneScape|postdate = March 3, 2016}}. The ''Descent of Dragons'' special attack animation shows [[black dragon]] heads being fired at the target.
 
 
==Colouring==
 
On 18 September 2014, dark bows could be recoloured using a special paint obtained from [[Bounty Hunter]]. The colouring will make the bow untradeable; however, to remove the colouring, simply use a [[cleaning cloth]] and the bow will return to its regular state. Buying a colour paint for the dark bow costs 500,000 points.
