Crossbow is an item class of two-handed ranged weapons that require strength and dexterity to equip. While it shares some similarities to a bow, crossbows fire instantly but tend to have a slower attack time.

Shot skills

Crossbow base types come in three variations that grant one of three crossbow "Shot" skills:

  • Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Burst Shot" Burst Shot
  • Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Power Shot" Power Shot
  • Module Error: No skills found with q_where = skill.active_skill_name="Rapid Shot" Rapid Shot

Additional skills can be obtained from Gemcutting:

Ammunition

Main page: Ammunition

Ammunition skills (or ammo) are crossbow-exclusive skills that can be used to load a crossbow with a clip of bolts that modify crossbow Shot skills for a specified amount of bolts before reloading.

Attachment skills

Attachment skills are crossbow-exclusive skills that are equipped into the off-hand equipment slot while wielding a crossbow. They visually attach to the underside of your crossbow, and only one attachment can be used at once. Equipped attachment skills add the skill to your skills menu, where they can be linked to support gems.

Quivers may be equipped with bows to provide additional bonuses. Bows have low base critical strike chance but moderate physical damage and attack speed, resulting in overall higher damage per second than wands.
