The Dragon Hunter Crossbow, also known as the “DHCB” for short, is a level 70 ranged weapon. It can be obtained only from the Chambers of Xeric as a unique reward and is considered a dragonbane weapon.

With hard completion, the KBD heads can be added to the cbow to create a black variant. While with the elite tier completion, the Vorkath’s head can be added to create a turquoise variant.
