Off-hand Ascension crossbow

The off-hand Ascension crossbow is a crossbow requiring level 90 Ranged to wield. It has an main-hand counterpart which is able to fire Ascension bolts, made with 90 Fletching. The parts to make an off-hand Ascension crossbow are obtainable from the Order of Ascension slayer dungeon.

The crossbow is made by taking one each of the six ascension signets dropped by the legiones (Ascension signet I, Ascension signet II, Ascension signet III, Ascension signet IV, Ascension signet V, Ascension signet VI), along with a dragon crossbow or an Off-hand dragon crossbow and 100 ascension shards to Ocellus outside the monastery to create an Ascension crossbow, and converting to the Off-hand Ascension crossbow for another 100 shards. Ocellus can convert the Off-hand crossbow to the Main-hand version again with another 100 Ascension shards.

Assuming one obtained each signet on the 64th kill, it would cost, on average, to create an off-hand Ascension crossbow. This takes into account that each signet has a drop rate being 1 out of 64, thus we assume 64 keystones would result in one signet. It also takes into account the cost of the dragon crossbow and 200 Ascension shards needed to give Ocellus.

It degrades in combat like drygore weaponry, having 60,000 charges (but loses 2 per hit, giving a minimum time of 5 hours of combat) until it must be repaired by Bob for or a lower amount on your armour stand depending on your Smithing level.

The crossbow and its main-hand counterpart both provide full protection against the four main factions in the God Wars Dungeon, in the same manner as the Zaryte bow and Nex armour. However, this also means that they do not protect against Zaros followers in the Ancient Prison.

Players on a budget may consider dual-wielding an Ascension crossbow with off-hand death lotus darts. When first attacking a target, the main hand weapon is used and thus its ammo is lost far more often than the offhand ammo. Therefore, this combination negates the high upfront cost of the off-hand Ascension crossbow and greatly reduces the loss of indirectly expensive/untradeable death lotus darts while sacrificing a relatively small amount of damage and accuracy.
