Crossbow Smith(adv)
Prerequisite skills — Metalworks: 5, & Woodworks: 5
With the Crossbow Smith skill, a character may create a crossbow rated in Tier value up to their Crossbow Smith level (ie: Crossbow Smith:8 can make up to T8 One-Handed or Two-Handed Crossbow). Additionally, they may create bolts at the rate of 1 per skill point in Crossbow Smith each day. Production multiplier effects from tools apply for ammunition creation.
This skill requires a minimum of Crude tools & all required materials on hand.
The time it takes to create a crossbow is: the desired Tier value multiplied by itself [Tier value x Tier value].
Basic tools will double output & a Workshop will quadruple output from baseline (even for creating bolts).
| Tier Value | Crude Tools | Basic Tools | Workshop |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | 1 day | 0.5 days | 0.25 days |
| Tier 2 | 4 days | 2 days | 1 day |
| Tier 3 | 9 days | 4.5 days | 2.25 days |
| Tier 4 | 16 days | 8 days | 4 days |
| Tier 5 | 25 days | 12.5 days | 6.25 days |
| Tier 6 | 36 days | 18 days | 9 days |
| Tier 7 | 49 days | 24.5 days | 12.25 days |
| Tier 8 | 64 days | 32 days | 16 days |
| Tier 9 | 81 days | 40.5 days | 20.25 days |
| Tier 10 | 100 days | 50 days | 25 days |
| Tier 11 | 121 days | 60.5 days | 30.25 days |
| Tier 12 | 144 days | 72 days | 36 days |
Required materials for creating Crossbows are: metal materials (1 metal ingot) of equal or greater Tier to the desired output, & wood materials of either 1 beam or lumber, & 5 feet of cordage. (ie: T5 Crossbow requires T5+ metal & lumber/beam & 5ft cordage to create)
Required materials for creating bolts are: metal materials (1 metal ingot). Each ingot can be used to create 10x 1h-c’bow bolts or 5x 2h-c’bow bolts.
Repair of a crossbow requires both Metalworks: 1+ & Woodworks: 1+. Crossbows are not destroyed at T0 (& cannot go lower than T0). Upon repair, requiring 1/100th the creation time, the original Tier value is completely restored.
