Where to find a crossbow?

[Sidekick678]

I've been looking for any info on where to find a crossbow and can't seem to find it. I got the game last night and speced into crossbows cause it sounded fun and feel like i've wasted focus points now. Are there crossbows I can equip or are they just mystical ai weaponry?

i picked one up from loot but needed 20 points to use.

I've seen them for sale, but they're like 20k+ so not a starter weapon, unless you download the mod that makes crossbows affordable. They can commonly be found in Vlandia shops.

You can participate in Vladian arena practice matches and with a bit of luck, you will spawn with a crossbow. Or you can wait for 2 crossbowmen kill each other and pick up theirs. You cannot kill them in melee because they will switch weapons. You can farm quickly the level 20 skill and then you can buy a crossbow at Vladian cities which requires the min 20 crossbow skill.

Idk, its super hard to roll the dice and get xbow at arena, + i only seen 1 arbalest in the entire gameplay in all vlandian and non vlandian cities on 1.10 and 1.20

OMG, this is the most stupid game mechanic.....well, maybe not the worst. Why do we need to do scumming tactics to get a weapon and be able to use it?

The last post I read about this was about killing your own crossbowmen in a hideout to pick up a crossbow. Really?

The Devs seriously need to fix this crap, but in the mean time, they are obviously not a thing until they decide to focus on them.

Crossbows are not hard to find. They are everywhere. Do know, that if you are using previous saves during these updates they are not just going to "appear". You will have to wait till the shops reup their inventory. It takes a good amount of time from what I hear.

If you had a new save, you'd see them in shops day 1. I would, however, make sure you are AT LEAST 20 or 30 in crossbows if you want to use them. I find it rare to find a large surplus of crossbows at lvl 20 skill level.

It’s a early access game. I mean stuff just doesn’t work right.

There is nothing they need to fix. You are obviously using previous save. It takes time for them to enter circulation now. If you had new save, they are in shops day 1.

I disagree,
Made entirely new savegame on 1.1.0 and 1.2.0, still no xbows to be found

I bet You are looking for it in wrong cities. A lot of crossbows by affordable price by 3-4 patches ago. But not in every town, yes.

[Kahvipannu]

Yea you can find them with relative ease, Vlandia and Empire are good places to look for them.

Tough I haven't find 0 skill needing one yet, I have found 2 that need 20 crossbow-skill, and one that needs 40-crossbow skill.

This was specifically about low level cross bows. They have now fixed it and you can find them.

This is a bit of a necro topic, but now in 1.4.3 beta you can find basic crossbows in towns for around 1k gold.
