Toxic blowpipe is a two-handed Ranged weapon made from a Tanzanite fang. It requires 75 Ranged to equip and uses darts and Zulrah's scales.
Making a blowpipe
Use a chisel on a tanzanite fang with 53 Fletching to make an empty blowpipe. Fangs are dropped by Zulrah.
Loading and charging
Use darts and Zulrah's scales on the blowpipe. It holds up to 16,383 darts of one type and 16,383 scales. Both are needed to attack.
The blowpipe accepts mithril, adamant, rune, amethyst and dragon darts. It rejects bronze, iron, steel, black, poisoned and drygore darts. Unload the current darts before adding a different type.
Use Check to see both supplies, Unload to recover the darts, or Uncharge to recover all remaining darts and scales. Leave enough inventory space for the returned items.
Using the blowpipe
The loaded darts add their ranged strength to the weapon's own bonus. Ordinary attacks can inflict venom on targets that are not immune. Scales and darts are consumed during combat; ammunition-saving equipment and Conservation can reduce consumption.
Toxic Siphon has a base cost of 50% special attack energy. By default, it boosts the attack's damage by 50% and heals half the hit’s damage, rounded down. An attack dealing less than 2 damage does not heal. Effects that change special attack costs can alter the energy used.
