A Longbow sight is an item bought from the rewards trader in Daemonheim for 10,000 Dungeoneering tokens. It attaches to either a maple longbow (with 45 Ranged and 45 Dungeoneering) or a magic longbow (with 55 Ranged and 45 Dungeoneering) turning them into a maple longbow (sighted) or magic longbow (sighted) respectively. However, given the number of tokens (10,000) needed to buy the item, one would need to be level 49 Dungeoneering to have the required tokens, assuming that one did not use XP lamps or resource dungeon one-time XP bonuses to raise one's Dungeoneering level.
The maple longbow's ranged attack bonus is increased from +29 to +110 (3.79x) and the magic longbow's is increased from +69 to +140 (2.03x), a greater bonus than the dark bow. The bow's attack speed is also increased by 1. The longbow sight may be detached and reattached as many times as required without cost on any maple or magic longbow.
Notes
- Prior to 15 April 2010, the longbow sight was indicated under RuneScape's manual as having a dungeoneering requirement of 30 to install, yet within the game itself, it is 45.
- Adding the longbow sight onto the maple or magic longbows will increase its attack speed by 1 tick, and as a result the "accurate" style will result in speed of 5, at "rapid" the speed is 6.
- When attaching the longbow sight examine text says "You carefully attach the sight to your longbow", and when removing, it says "You dismantle the bow into its component parts".
- When you lose membership and still have the sight attached to a magic longbow, you will not be able to dismantle the sight from the bow. You will have to get another one or renew membership to dismantle the bow and reuse the sight.
- When you die in the Wilderness and lose your longbow sight, it will remain on the floor, and if you run back in time, you will be able to recover it.
- This item does not degrade, unlike the Gravite shortbow or the Chaotic crossbow.
Trivia
- The Longbow Sight used to cost 45,000 Dungeoneering Tokens before the 21 April 2010 update.
- This item is somewhat popular among rangers who only have membership occasionally, as it gives access to both of the bows that are the most accurate in F2P and P2P respectively.
