In the Expansion they may be found in late Normal, and then all through Nightmare and Hell.
ItemĮxceptional Crossbows are found only on Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels in Diablo II. They have no purpose otherwise, and are one of the simpler weapon-type items in the game. Characters are abbreviated to their first letter: Am = Amazon and As = Assassin.Īrrows and Bolts/Quarrels are necessary to use a bow or crossbow, and they must be equipped in one hand, with the bow/ crossbow in the other. Each 10 is equivalent to a normal SIAS item. The “fast”, “normal” etc displayed in the game is a very imprecise measurement. 0 is the base, negative ( -10, -20, etc) is faster, 10, 20, etc is slower.
Weapon Speed: A relative comparison of one bow to another. Monsters must be of this level to drop the item, and your Clvl must be equal to or higher to have that item offered to gamble on. Item Level: Used in many in-game calculations. All Bows are 100 Dex, which means every point in Dex adds 1% of your weapon’s total physical damage, thus 100 points in Dex will double your bow damage. Each 100 points in that stat doubles your weapon’s total physical damage. Damage Bonus: This determines how you multiply the item damage by your stats to reach the actual damage. They are reasonable options for higher-level Amazons though. They now do more damage than bows in most cases, but have a slower firing speed. They take up anywhere from a 2×3 to a 2×4 slot in the inventory.Ĭrossbows were improved in the Expansion, especially the Exceptional and Elite versions. The Amazon is the most proficient character class at the crossbow and can perform a number of special skills with it. These are not found from monsters as often as arrows are and will generally need to be purchased from NPC merchants. The weapon fires a shorter, thicker arrow called a quarrel, or bolt. Unfortunately, the added power comes at the cost of a very slow reload time, and in addition, these crossbows are expensive to make. So powerful are some crossbows that they have to reloaded by the means of various mechanical devices. While somewhat slower to load and fire than a bow, the greater power with which it can launch bolts (also known as quarrels) enables them to strike with much greater force, inflicting higher damage than arrows. When we add simple machinery to the already potent weapons of archery, what occurs is the deadly crossbow.
