The Hunter's Crossbow has always been rather underused; my idea would be to add a new high level hunter monster that would award a degradable attachment to the hunter's crossbow that would would give the crossbow +10% ranged damage and accuracy when hunting slayer monsters. The item itself would be a chance drop off of the new hunter monster that would also drop a new ammunition for the bow that would have a ranged strength bonus similar to that of steel bolts at +64.
Total Stats of Crossbow:
Ranged Accuracy- +55
Slayer Bonuses- +10% Ranged Strength/Accuracy
Stats of New Bolts (Quilled Kebbit Bolts):
Ranged Strength- +64
*Note- I was thinking they should count as broad bolts for Turoths/Kurasks, meaning they would require 55 slayer.
Hunter Monster Statistics:
Monster Type- Quilled Kebbit
Trap Type- Rope Snare (Similar to Net Trap, but uses a snare instead of a net)
Catch Requirements- Slayer Gloves, to present damage from the quills
Zone- Picastor's Hunter Area, in the new section West of the primary hunter area
Catch Rate- ~250 per hour at level 99
EXP Rate- 500 per monster, at 125k per hour
Crossbow Attachment Drop Rate- 1/256, or roughly 1 per hour
Crossbow Attachment Charges- 2500
Bolts per Monster Caught- 10
Fletching Requirements- Add Feathers
Fletching EXP Rate: 4 per bolt, at 40 for 10 fletched at a time
*Note- Profit per hour should be less then that of chinchompas.
I am open to additional ideas and I hope all you hunter/slayer enthusiasts would offer your input! Thank you!
