Then there's the spread between the two extremes. Cobalt seems like a decent tradeoff of draw speed for arrow speed. Using Slime, however, can make a 'rapid fire' crossbow, and while it doesn't do quite as much damage, still packs a punch against unarmored or lightly armored targets. If you want the absolute number one best arrow speed, it's going to be Steel. So, as you can see, there's a pretty steep tradeoff when you start wanting to max out your arrow speed. Paper: Draw Speed 0.5, Arrow Speed 1.1 Ratio: 2.2 Iron: Draw Speed 2.7, Arrow Speed 5.2, Ratio: 1.92 Steel: Draw Speed: 3, Arrow Speed 5.5, Ratio: 1.83 Manyullen: Draw Speed: 2.5, Arrow Speed 5 Ratio: 2.00Ĭobalt: Draw Speed 2.25, Arrow Speed 5.3, Ratio: 2.35Īrdite: Draw Speed: 2.75, Arrow Speed 4.9, Ratio: 1.78 Thaumium: Draw Speed: 1.75, Arrow Speed 4.75, Ratio: 2.71 Green Slime: Draw Speed 1.4, Arrow Speed 4.2, Ratio: 3.0 Here's an abbreviated list of draw speed, arrow speed, and ratio of Arrow Speed / Draw Speed for some materials:īlue Slime: Draw Speed 1.05, Arrow Speed 4, Ratio: 3.80 Binding is just like any other binding, it has no effect other than material modifier, so just use paper for the extra modifier. For this reason, I feel that Thaumium is one of the best materials to make the stock out of, but YMMV. The Crossbow Stock acts primarily as the 'handle' for the mod, so any handle modifiers would apply, as well as any material modifiers. The primary determination for the performance of the crossbow is going to be the Crossbow Limb. Which is the best? Well, here are some contenders: Obviously, some materials are better than others. These days, it seems like projectile damage is a factor of projectile speed, so we're going to be looking at reload time versus projectile speed. These numbers generated from the latest TiCTooltips build. So, just how amazing are they? What are the stats materials? What comes out to the best 'bang for your buck'? Well, I'm here to help you find your answer to that question.Īs always, Where you lie on the sliding scale of speed to power is up to you, however I will provide you the numbers you need to make that determination.

Okay, so the beta versions are out that have the new longbows and crossbows that are really amazing.
