Sunlight antler bolts

The Sunlight antler bolts are a powerful ammunition type introduced in Old School RuneScape, designed for players seeking to enhance their ranged combat capabilities. Crafted from the mystical antlers of the elusive Sunlight deer, these bolts gleam with a radiant shine, reflecting the sun’s rays as they soar through the air. With their unique properties, they are favored by rangers looking to deal significant damage to their foes, especially in PvP scenarios. Each bolt is imbued with the essence of sunlight, granting players a chance to inflict additional damage on impact.
To create Sunlight antler bolts, players must combine a set of antler pieces obtained from the Sunlight deer with standard bolts, harnessing the power of sunlight in their craftsmanship. When equipped in a crossbow, these bolts not only provide a substantial boost to ranged attack but also carry a special effect that can temporarily blind opponents, rendering them less effective in battle. Whether you’re hunting for rare bosses or competing in thrilling skirmishes, Sunlight antler bolts are an essential addition to any ranger’s arsenal.
