Gravite shortbow



The Gravite shortbow is a 2h Ranged weapon released along with the Dungeoneering skill. It requires 55 Ranged and 45 Dungeoneering to wield. It can be purchased from the rewards trader for 40,000 Dungeoneering tokens, which would realistically require a Dungeoneering level of 64 to obtain. As with all gravite weapons, it lasts about 10 hours in combat before it needs to be recharged.

If one chooses to repair the shortbow with coins only it would cost around 50 coins per shot, or 5 coins and 0.325 Dungeoneering tokens if players choose otherwise. This does not take into account the arrows that will be used up in combat.

The gravite shortbow boasts a higher firing speed and a much higher damage output than the magic shieldbow (sighted), however this is balanced by the loss of a significant armour rating and life point bonus. The two bows are equally as accurate; they are, in fact, the most accurate free-to-play ranged weapons.

When first bought, the weapon is 20% charged. Repair costs come in 1% increments; you can repair them whenever there's at least 1% charge missing.
