Ironman verdict

Armadyl crossbow is a members item. Other players trade it, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade, so you get your own. We list 1 monster for it.

The lowest-level monster that drops it is Commander Zilyana (level 596), at 1/508, about one in 508 kills.

It is worn in the one-handed weapons slot, attacking every 6 ticks; its biggest bonuses are +100 ranged attack and +1 prayer. Our gear guide counts it as a late-game weapon for ranged (it needs 70 Ranged to use): where it fits in your progression. Among the bosses we cover, Commander Zilyana drops it, and it is one of the drops we flag as worth chasing there.

It is a material in 1 recipe: Zaryte crossbow. High Alchemy (55 Magic) turns one into 594,000 coins. Each cast uses a nature rune, 180 coins from a rune shop, and five fire runes that a fire staff replaces, so an alch nets about 593,820 coins.
