Vespula's twisted bow is an upgraded Twisted bow, made by using Vespula's venom on a Twisted bow. It needs 75 Ranged to wield and has built-in arrows, so it needs no ammunition. It keeps the Twisted bow's effect, which scales its damage and accuracy with the target's Magic level, and adds venom that heals you, a second venom arrow and built-in thorns. It also gives +15 to every defence bonus.

Its extra effects only work against monsters: against players it works like a normal Twisted bow.

It attacks every 6 ticks (5 on Rapid) and has an attack range of 10.

Its built-in arrows count as dragon arrows (+60 Ranged strength), which gives it +80 Ranged strength in total. Items in the ammunition slot add no bonuses while you wield it.

Effect

The bow keeps the Twisted bow's effect: its damage and accuracy scale with the target's Magic level, and its max hit is capped at 250. Against monsters it also has these effects:

• Venom: every arrow that reaches a monster venoms it, even when it hits 0 and even if the monster is normally immune to venom. The venom deals 20 damage every 18 seconds, starting 3.6 seconds after it is applied, and up to 200 damage to each monster. It wears off if you teleport, die, log out or move more than 16 tiles away from the monster.
• Healing: each venom hit instantly heals your Hitpoints and restores your Prayer by the damage it deals (never above your maximum). There is no healing while you are fighting another player.
• Second arrow: whenever an arrow deals damage, a second venom arrow follows one tick later and hits for 15% of the first arrow's damage (at least 1). It does not apply venom or heal.
• Thorns: when a monster attacks you with melee, ranged or magic, it takes 8 damage if it hits you for 0, or 4 damage if it damages you. The Great Olm and Verzik Vitur are not affected.

Creation

Use Vespula's venom on a Twisted bow to make Vespula's twisted bow. Vespula's venom is a rare reward from the Chambers of Xeric.

Dismantle gives the Twisted bow and Vespula's venom back.
