Crossbow is an item class of two-handed martial ranged weapons that require strength and dexterity to equip. While it shares some similarities to a bow, crossbows fire bolts instantly and require you to reload ammo to use and enhance skills.

Crossbow Skills

Crossbow's default attack skill Crossbow Shot does not cost any mana to fire while all other ammunition skills only cost mana when reloading the crossbow. (Note that an exception exists for skills such as Hailstorm Rounds which load ammunition passively; in that case, the mana cost will be applied to Crossbow Shot directly.)

Ammunition Skills

Ammunition skills (or "Ammo") are crossbow exclusive Projectile Attack skills that load a clip of bolts or rounds. Ammunition skills determine which type of bolts or rounds are used to effect of the crossbow attack.
