The toxic blowpipe is a two-handed weapon that requires 75 Ranged to wield. It is made by using a chisel on a tanzanite fang, requiring 53 fletching. Players have a 25% chance of inflicting venom when attacking with the toxic blowpipe.

The toxic blowpipe is charged with Zulrah's scales; it cannot be equipped if it is uncharged, except when fully degraded while equipped. It uses unpoisoned darts as ammunition, requiring 16,383 scales, costing 3,391,281 to fully charge and using scales at a rate of 2 scales every 3 shots. At the current price, it would cost 136.62 per shot plus darts. Charging it increases its Ranged attack by 60 and Ranged strength by 40. These bonuses stack with the bonuses of its ammunition. For example, using dragon darts on the blowpipe will increase its Ranged attack to +78, and its Ranged strength to +60.

The base attack speed of the toxic blowpipe varies; in player versus monster encounters, its attack speed is 7, or equal to darts. During player versus player combat, its attack speed is 6, or equal to a shortbow.

The weapon's special attack increases its damage by 50% and heals its wielder by half of the total damage (rounded down). The special attack uses 50% of the special attack bar.

If the blowpipe is not protected upon death, all scale and dart charges will appear on the floor alongside the blowpipe.

Players can dismantle an uncharged blowpipe to receive 20,000 Zulrah's scales, however, this will result in a loss of −347,019 coins.

If worn with the rest of Karil the Tainted's equipment, it offers a set effect which lowers the target's agility level (only works on players). Like all Barrows equipment, it degrades and will fully degrade after 15 hours of combat. It is repairable.
	Dragon hunter crossbow	65	+95	Offers the second highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, outclassed only by the armadyl crossbow Increases accuracy and damage by 30% when fighting dragons (excluding revenant dragons, as well as wyverns and the Great Olm.

	Rune crossbow	61	+90	Offers the fourth highest one-handed Ranged attack bonus in the game, only behind the armadyl, dragon crossbow, and dragon hunter crossbows. It is considerably cheaper than the armadyl and dragon hunter crossbows.
	Dark bow	60	+95	Offers the third highest Ranged attack bonus in the game, behind the Heavy ballista, which offers +125 ranged attack, and the crystal bow and armadyl crossbow, both offering +100 ranged attack. It is the slowest weapon in the game, offering only an attack speed of 2. Has the ability to shoot two arrows at a time.

The bow can be imbued by using a magic shortbow scroll on a normal magic shortbow. The imbued version increases accuracy to +75 and lowers the special attack cost to 50%.
	Chinchompas	45 (Grey) 55 (Red) 65 (Black)	+45 (Grey) +70 (Red) +80 (Black)	It is the only one of three ranged weapons that offers the ability to hit more than one opponent at a time (similar to burst or barrage ancient spells), the others being the special attack of the dragon crossbow, with a similar attack, and Rune thrownaxe, with a ricochet type attack. Regarded to be the best way of training Ranged at the cost of it being expensive. Has the attack speed of 6 (same as scimitars or the abyssal whip). If a player dies with chinchompas equipped or in their inventory, they will disappear as they are live animals. Dying with black chinchompas to a player in the wilderness does not make them disappear.

Trivia

• In PvP situations upon release, the toxic blowpipe's attack speed was 8 on rapid, meaning it was able to attack every 1.2 seconds, which made it easy to overpower another opponent in player-versus-player combat. This was fixed in an update the next day so that the blowpipe's speed on rapid would be equal to that of a shortbow only in PvP; player-versus-monster encounters remain unaffected.
