The dragon crossbow is a crossbow requiring 64 Ranged to wield. It can fire up to and including dragon bolts.
Dragon crossbows can be made through the Fletching skill at level 78; a player must first cut a magic stock for the crossbow from magic logs, granting 70 Fletching experience. Then, a player must add dragon limbs with a hammer to the stock, granting 6 experience and making an unstrung dragon crossbow. Finally, they must string the crossbow with crossbow string, granting 6 experience. The crossbow has an attack range of 7. Longrange increases attack range by 2.

Special attack

A player performs the special attack of the Dragon crossbow, Annihilate.
The crossbow has a special attack, Annihilate, which drains 60% of the special attack bar and hits any enemy in a 3x3 area. The primary target of Annihilate will take 20% extra damage, all other targets will take 20% less damage. If used in a single-way combat, the attack will still work but only hit one target with 20% extra damage. It ignores enchanted bolt effects.
