Bolts: Bolts can only be purchased at a store. If you want them tipped, you must first make the additional tips. Take your item (like oyster pearls or an opal) and you must use a chisel on it. With the tips you get you can use them with normal bolts to make the special tipped bolts. Barbed tips can be bought from the ticket merchant in the ranging guild.Any kind of bolts can aslo been poisoned, get a loot of a Tribesman of 4 Bolt (p) ( New possible loot for Tribesman (Level-32);

*Dwarf Cannons: You must have completed the Dwarf Cannon Quest to use the cannon. This is the most powerful and expensive ranged weapon in the game. The cannon consists of 4 pieces that you can set up and load with up to 30 cannonballs. Once loaded and fired, the cannon will rotate and shoot a cannonball at every nearby npc. Cannonballs can be made using a steel bar and a ammo mould. One steel bar gives 4 cannonballs. You can buy a cannon from a dwarf near the Dwarven Mine entrance for 750k or in separate parts. For more information, please see the Dwarf Cannon Guide

Ranged Guild:

You must have 40 range to enter the guild for ranging

Holy Water:

Holy Water is a powerful ranged weapon that is used just like throwing knives. It is only effective against Demons, just like Silverlight used to do. They are untradable.

How to Make It: To make Holy Water you must have completed the Legends Quest or are at least halfway through it.

Items Needed: Book of Binding, a machete, a hatchet, your bull roarer, a Blessed Golden Bowl, some empty vials, prayer potions and restore potions.

Book of Binding:

Bullroarer:

(If you dropped your Book of Binding you can obtain another by collecting one of every gem except Dragonstone and placing them on the stalagmites again in the cave.) (If you dropped your bull roarer you can get another from a Forester.) (If you dropped your Blessed Golden Bowl you can make another by using two bars of gold on an anvil then taking the bowl to the Kharazi Jungle and have Gujuo bless it (requires 42 prayer) with you.)

Enchanting a Bowl:

Enter the Kharazi Jungle, go to the sacred pool and then cut a hollow reed with the machete.

Use it with the pool and you will fill your Blessed Golden Bowl.

Now read the Book of Binding and turn to the last page. At the bottom is a picture of a vial labeled Activus.

Click this and enchant as many vials as you have. (This will drain magic and prayer)

Now use your Blessed Vials with your Blessed Golden Bowl filled with water. (10 vials per bowl)

(You cannot leave the jungle with a full bowl so you must add it to the vials here)

Now you will have Holy Water!
