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).

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.
