The **Ascension crossbow** is a crossbow requiring level 90 Ranged to wield. It has an off-hand counterpart and is able to fire all bolts including Ascension bolts, made with 90 Fletching.

Obtaining one yourself (without trading with another player or through the Grand Exchange) requires defeating Legiones in the level-81-Slayer dungeon Monastery of Ascension located south of the Poison Waste.

The crossbow is made by taking one each of the six Ascension signets dropped by the legiones (Ascension signet I, Ascension signet II, Ascension signet III, Ascension signet IV, Ascension signet V, Ascension signet VI), along with a dragon crossbow and 100 ascension shards to Ocellus outside the monastery. It can be converted to the off-hand Ascension crossbow for another 100 shards.

Assuming one obtained each signet on the 64th kill, it would cost 119,364,529 to create an Ascension crossbow. If you do a co-op slayer tasks only one key is needed for entry for both party members. A pop-up confirmation will appear for the second party member before entering the lair. **When the Legio is killed, the party member who dealt the most damage, will receive the drop regardless of who opened the door with a keystone. A signet, if dropped, will only be given to the party member who has received drop.** The other party member will be left with no loot, therefore it is recommended to solo the ascension bosses for signets.

Only the main-hand dragon crossbow will work; neither the off-hand nor the 2-handed bow are accepted by Ocellus.

It degrades in combat like drygore weaponry, having 60,000 charges (but loses 2 per hit, giving a minimum time of 5 hours of combat) until it must be repaired by Bob for 2,000,000 or a lower amount on your armour stand depending on your Smithing level.

The crossbow and its off-hand counterpart both provide full protection against the four main factions in the God Wars Dungeon, in the same manner as ancient equipment, and the Shard of Zaros. However, they do **not** protect against Zaros followers in the Ancient Prison.

The crossbow, and the off-hand variant can be dyed with either barrows, shadow, or third-age dyes. This process is irreversible and will make the crossbow untradeable.

## Repair cost

The base repair cost of the Ascension crossbow is 2,000,000. It can be repaired by:

* Bob - the axe seller in Lumbridge
* Tindel Marchant - the weapon and armour repairman at Port Khazard
* Dunstan - the smith in Burthorpe
* Squire - in the workshop area of the Void Knights' Outpost

Alternatively, it can be repaired on an armour stand in a player-owned house. This provides a discount of 0.5% per Smithing level (including boosts and assists).

Enter your Smithing level here to calculate how much it would cost to repair the Ascension crossbow on an armour stand:

```

form = repairForm
result = repairResult
param = cost||2000000|hidden

```

## Dyed

* Ascension crossbow (shadow) Dye
* Ascension crossbow (third age) Dye
* Ascension crossbow (barrows) Dye

## Trivia

* The God Wars Dungeon protection perk will remain in the game, but may not have been intentional, as per Mod Dean. No comment has been made regarding *DarkScape*.
	+ It was revealed that the reason behind the immunity was because it shared the same repair cost parameter as Nex armour.
