Concept artwork of the Armadyl Eye special attack
Concept artwork of the Armadyl Eye special attack
- While pretending to form an alliance with Armadyl, Commander Zilyana stole the Armadyl crossbow from Kree'arra during the God Wars, keeping it as a trophy of her cunning, explaining why it is dropped by Zilyana instead of Kree'arra.
- The Armadyl crossbow is one of four unique boss drops that are not dropped by the respective bodyguards (excluding hilts or pets), the others being Steam battlestaff, Saradomin's light and Staff of the dead.
- There's a 1/250 chance that when one receives a bird's nest from woodcutting, instead of the standard bird chirping sound, they'll hear the crossbow's special attack sound instead. This is likely some kind of easter egg meant to scare the players briefly as a joke.
- The Armadyl crossbow uses the same model as the Hunters' crossbow, albeit recoloured.
