no zero skill starter crossbows?!?!

[=)]

So I gave a family member some pips in crossbow but their skill is 1... I cant buy a ****ing crossbow below 20 anywhere! (light crossbow)

Try Valandian towns always have crossbows not sure about the level tho , I only use bow and javies

Theres a training one iirc that is 0. But you can always have them level it up in arena and tournements as well

the towns dont have anything below a 20 skill "light crossbow" and its not a player character so I cant even do it via those. light and arbalest are both 20 skill so I am wondering did the devs fk up a value. and light should have been lower
Seems a huge oversight by the devs either way to not have an introductory weapon for the unskilled.

If I recall correctly (it has been a while) I believe the only place you can (or could) actually find a crossbow, that does not require skill, is in empirial towns.

Kill a bunch of vlandian crossbow militia, maybe some villagers, they shoud drop some used crossbows that requires no skill.

OP is quick to blame the game, when in truth, he simply did not look hard enough.

kristianjakob is correct.

There is a Simple Light Crossbow that does not require any points in Crossbow. The only place I have found them is in Imperial towns. But the first one I went to when I was checking today had 154 of them. I checked 7 Imperial towns, and they all had them.

That doesn't mean it's available in the imperial towns in HIS playthrough. If he says he checked every town I assume ehe did and that's why he is frustrated. The economy in this game can vary a lot between playthroughs and so can the available market goods. It all depends on what happens in the game and so on

Could be, but I have found that 'I looked everywhere' usually means 'I checked half a dozen or so towns that were close.' I have never not been able to find them if I wanted to field some xbow companions or wield one myself.

Well its nice of you to instantly accuse me of lying. I'll just go with block.

This is true. It seems each new game I start, certain items I have never seen before are suddenly available and others never show up. Tournaments do that occasionally too... same usual suspects of mostly horses, helmets and weapons, but then a random "huh never seen that before" reward

Go for it if you want, but remember -- I gave you an answer. Everyone else gave you conjecture and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Big tip for looking for certain item is changing sort type. Once you group all the crossbows its super easy to see if they have the one you are looking for

Be aware, a tournament prize is dependent on how many lords are participating. The more lords the better the reward.
