The Seren godbow is a degradeable, augmentable tier 92 two-handed shortbow. It is created by upgrading a Dormant Seren godbow with an Orb of pure anima, an Orb of volcanic anima, and an Orb of corrupted anima, requiring level 92 Crafting. All four of these items can be obtained by defeating Telos.

The Seren godbow has only slightly higher accuracy and damage than the combination of the noxious longbow and araxyte arrows. In addition, as a chargebow it provides its own ammo, like the zaryte bow and decimation. The bow can benefit from the effects of bane arrows, black stone arrows, splintering arrows, and elder god arrows, with the damage capped at either its ammunition's tier or the bow's tier, whichever is lower. The bow cannot be used for Barbarian Firemaking.

The Seren godbow has 60,000 charges of combat^{[source needed]} before degrading to a broken state. It can be recharged at a repair NPC for 4,800,000 coins, or less on an armour stand.

The godbow's special attack can deal very high damage every 30 seconds when fighting certain bosses, including Araxxi, Temple of Aminishi, Dragonkin Laboratory, Yakamaru, Raksha, and Arch-Glacor.

Special attack[edit | edit source]

This article has a calculator here. Calculators determine experience and costs based on real-time prices from the Grand Exchange Market Watch.

Crystal Rain is the special attack of the Seren godbow. It costs 30% adrenaline and launches five arrows into the air. The first arrow always lands on the target's centre, while the remaining four randomly land in a 5x5 area around the target's centre, one tick after the first arrow.

The first arrow always has an opportunity to land; the others may not have this opportunity as they need to land on a game square occupied by an enemy. Each arrow that lands on a target deals 125-155% ability damage.

If the attack is successful, there is a 30 second cooldown before it may be used again. If the attack misses, then the remaining four arrows will also miss, but no cooldown penalty is incurred, allowing the player to use the special attack again.

In most cases, only 5 arrows are considered. However, there are circ*mstances where it is possible to land arrows after arrow 5.

Using the special attack against an NPC which takes up a lot of game squares will increase the likelihood that multiple arrows will hit, potentially dealing extremely high damage. The determination of the number of hits a monster receives is described as follows. First, if the special attack hits, the first arrow will always hit. Then, the remaining four arrows will be determined. The centre of an NPC is chosen as the centre of the special attack. A 5x5 area centred at that square is where the remaining four arrows will be chosen. A random square is chosen from this area, and then random squares chosen, without duplicates, until there are four arrows, or when it fails to find a non-duplicate ten times. The number of squares chosen that also lie on the NPC squares are the number of arrows that hit. Since the initial shot of Crystal Rain always targets the centre of the target, a 5x5 enemy will always be hit by all 5 arrows.

If multiple targets overlap on a given tile and an arrow (or arrows if multiple sources are used) from the special attack lands on that tile, only one target will be affected. The affected target may or may not be the primary target. The priority system for determining the affected target is unknown.

Interaction with multiple sources[edit | edit source]

Crystal Rain sound effect

If a target receives multiple secondary arrows from Crystal Rain within 2 ticks of each other from multiple sources, then the arrows that land will continue with the pattern described by arrows 2 through 5. Sources in this context refers to arrows that are sourced by:

• other players
• casting the Crystal Rain special attack stored within an essence of finality^(or) while using either:

• chinchompas
• the Decimation special attack, Locate

With this, the pattern continues on, with each arrow dealing the same damage range of 125%-155%.

Expected number of arrows to land based on target size[edit | edit source]

The probability of a certain number of arrows (up to arrow 5) landing given the monster size is shown in the table below.

The expected number of arrows are the average amount of arrows that land on a target of a specific size if repeated many times.

Explanation of arrow damages[edit | edit source]

The range of damages from arrows 2 through 5 (and 6 through 8+ as mentioned in the multiple sources section) are really based on a specific amount of damage from arrow 1: the minimum hit of arrow 1. This matters for certain boosts and ammunition effects. The damage range of each arrow can be calculated in the following way.

• Let ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{fixed}}}$ represent the fixed or minimum hit of arrow ${\displaystyle i}$ where ${\displaystyle i}$ can take on any positive integer.
• Let ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{random}}}$ represent the amount of damage between the minimum and maximum hit of arrow ${\displaystyle i}$ where ${\displaystyle i}$ can take on any positive integer.

The maximum amount of damage of an arrow can be calculated by adding the two above terms: ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{fixed}}+d_i^{\text{random}}}$. The damage that can be done will take on a random value between the minimum and maximum. This can be expressed as: ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{fixed}}+r\cdot d_i^{\text{random}}}$ where ${\displaystyle r}$ is a real number randomly chosen between [0,1].

For arrow 1, these values are ${\displaystyle d_1^{\text{fixed}}=80\%}$ and ${\displaystyle d_1^{\text{random}}=120\%}$.

However for arrows 2 through 8+, they are calculated in the following way:

• ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{fixed}}=d_1^{\text{fixed}}}$
• ${\displaystyle d_i^{\text{random}}=\lfloor \frac{\text{max}(0,8-i)}{3}\cdot d_1^{\text{fixed}}\rfloor }$

As shown above, arrows 2 through 8+ only depend on the minimum amount of damage from arrow 1. This matters for certain boosts the player may have as well as the effect of ammunition the player may be using.

For example, dragonbane arrows only affect the random portion of arrow 1 damage, ${\displaystyle d_1^{\text{random}}}$. Therefore, only arrow 1 will be boosted. However, Jas dragonbane arrows affect both the fixed and random portion of arrow 1, therefore, all arrows will be boosted.

This also holds for damage boosting effects from enchanted bolts if Crystal Rain is cast by using the Essence of Finality ability.

This applies to other boosts as well, such as the effect of the Genocidal perk. The perk only affects the random portion and therefore only arrow 1 will be affected.

As a result, the Precise perk is very impactful on the damage increase of this special attack.

Additional ammunition slot effects[edit | edit source]

Aside from damage, the effect of ammunition slot is almost^{[n 1]} completely ignored for all arrows aside from arrow 1. This means that black stone arrows will only apply one stack from arrow 1, Bik arrows will only apply one stack from arrow 1, dragonbane arrows ability to break through a rune dragon's armour will only happen for arrow 1, etc.

This also applies for non-damage boosting effects from enchanted bolts through the Essence of Finality ability. For example, if the player is using onyx bakriminel bolts (e) and a proc occurs while casting the special attack, the damage boost applies to the entirety of arrow 1 and therefore the damage boost will apply to all arrows; however, the player will only receive a single heal - and it will be based on arrow 1.

Recommended bosses[edit | edit source]

The Seren godbow is recommended for the following boss fights as its special attack can deal very high damage per use, depending on the size of the target. In general, it is recommended for bosses that occupy at least 3x3 game squares if casting this while using Ranged and for bosses that are at least 5x5 if casting this off-style with Melee or Magic (usually with the Ingenuity of the Humans).

The Seren godbow special attack does 50% more damage within Death's Swiftness.

Repair[edit | edit source]

This item costs at most 4,800,000 coins to repair completely. The repair cost is precisely calculated by the degradation percentage (e.g. with 75% charge remaining, a full repair would only cost 1,200,000 coins). It may be repaired through a variety of methods.

Non-player characters[edit source]

These methods cost more as they do not consider the player's Smithing level for a repair discount.

• 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

Improved methods[edit source]

These methods provide a repair cost discount of 0.5% per Smithing level (including boosts):

• An armour stand in a player-owned house
• A whetstone which can be used anywhere
• The Item Repair ability of a legendary pet can be used once per hour

Update history[edit | edit source]

This information has been compiled as part of the update history project. Some updates may not be included – see here for how to help out!

Trivia[edit | edit source]

• There was a bug where the godbow's special attack would hit other players outside of the Wilderness when in a friendly duel. This was quickly hotfixed after it was discovered.
  • Deaths caused by this bug were considered unsafe, and resulted in the loss of Hardcore status for Hardcore Ironmen.^[1]
• The special attack may hit less often on larger, even sized NPCs compared to the odd sized NPCs. This results from the convention of setting the boss's centre as the southwest corner of the centre in even sized NPCs.
