Artifact Weapon
« on: October 16, 2011, 07:02:57 pm »

I'm just wondering, does an artifact iron crossbow do more ranged damage then a regular iron crossbow or will it only affect the melee damage?

Melee only, A wooden crossbow would be as good as your artifact one in shooting

From the wiki (because i wasnt 100% sure): The quality of the crossbow affects the accuracy of the shot, while the material of the crossbow is unimportant.

more damage? NO! But it will hit more often. The Bolts define the damage

An artifact crossbow, would be just about the most accurate weapon you can get essentially. Bolts will rarely miss.

I've actually decided that anyone who makes another artifact addy crossbow will have to visit a forgotten beats with ONLY it. No bolts, no armor, just an artifact adamantine crossbow.

I have had FB's totally immune to most weapon types. Indeed i have had crystaline spiders that have soaked up hundreds of bolts, been magma proof and generally indestructable. Eventually i managed to confine it to a small part of my fort for it to be forever alone.
