Notes

  • It has no attribute damage scaling. Its low 12 Strength and 8 Dexterity requirements are enough to use it; extra points in those stats do not directly raise its damage.
  • It weighs 4, compared with Heavy Crossbow's 5.5. Heavy Crossbow gives more physical damage at an equal upgrade level, while Light Crossbow asks for less weight and fewer stats.
  • Equip bolts, load the crossbow, then fire. Make room to reload after the shot instead of expecting another attack immediately from the same loaded bolt.
  • Kick is fixed, and replacement Ashes of War, affinities, grease and weapon enchantments are unavailable.
  • Upgrade it with Smithing Stones, up to +25. The Castle Morne Rampart merchant sells it, so a rare enemy drop is not required.
  • Its listed range is 42. It can be loaded beforehand and fired one-handed beside a melee weapon; manual precision aiming uses two hands.
  • Ordinary shots cost ammunition rather than FP. Kick is a close-range guard-breaking option, not a stronger bolt shot or a repeating-fire mode.
