Bows/Crossbows

[Claytrus]

I have sent in my suggestion to the dev team but why do you need different bows/crossbows for different arrow types seems silly. i have recommended it work like other games where you can change the ammo type

I think the reason for it being like it is now comes down to how weapon+ammo relationship is coded. (it is infinitely easier to have 1 weapon use 1 ammo type rather than implementing ammo switching)

I just chalk it up as fire arrows setting non-fire crossbows ablaze and poison arrows corroding non-poison crossbows in turn.

It could simply be to get you to use your time/resources as well. I personally have used both a regular and a poison crossbow thinking that switching it up would be interesting. It didn't affect much of anything. Just pick what you like. At present, the fire/poison effects are not really impactful.

i would disagree about being impactful actually. When you are fighting on your level or below it isnt much but extremely good for fighting things 10-15 levels above yours.

Pretty good when you try catching something with an affliction and the rate increases.
