What is the Zaryte Crossbow?

The Zaryte Crossbow, a pinnacle of ranged weaponry, demands a Ranged level of 80 to wield its formidable power. Unlike its counterparts, this crossbow not only propels dragon bolts with deadly precision but also bestows defensive bonuses upon its wielder. Crafted from the essence of the powerful nihil, obtained as a rare drop from Nex, and the Armadyl Crossbow, the Zaryte Crossbow stands as a testament to craftsmanship and strategic prowess.
