The Dark bow is a two-handed bow that requires level 60 Ranged and fires arrows. It has +95 Ranged attack (its damage comes from the arrows' Ranged strength), and every attack fires two arrows. Players use it for its special attack, which hits twice with a guaranteed minimum damage; the imbued Dark bow (bh) raises its Ranged attack to +105. Players can compare it in the ::bis interface.

Combat stats

It attacks every 8 ticks (7 on Rapid) and has an attack range of 10. Each attack fires two arrows that hit one tick apart, and no single arrow can hit more than 48.

Special attack

The special attack costs 55% special attack energy. Both arrows get a 50% higher max hit (still capped at 48 each) and a hugely boosted accuracy roll, so they almost never miss.

Each arrow deals at least 8 damage, or at least 4 against a player using Protect from Missiles (the prayer first cuts the damage to 60%, then the minimum is applied).
