Bane ammunition

Bane ammunition is an untradeable form of ranged ammunition that can be created after Ritual of the Mahjarrat. It requires level 60 Ranged and has level 60 damage, but Jas dragonbane arrow and Jas demonbane arrow requires level 95 Ranged and has level 95 damage.

Chargebows used to disallow the use of bane ammunition, making them not as effective against the monsters that can be affected by them, and useless against rune dragons, until an update changed that, and now they take on the effects of using bane ammunition, as long as you have those equipped.
