January 3, 200719 yr I was thinking of training my range up, since it's very, very low. And a question popped into my head, as I was planning to fletch or smith my own arrows/bolts. What's the difference between a crossbow and a shortbow? Why do some people prefer one over the other?
January 3, 200719 yr crossbow = less range bonus, but u can have sheild (and i think faster) short/longbow = more range bonus, but 2h Back by popular demand!And I guess I just wanted to tell you, as the light starts to fade, that you aree the reason, that I am not afraid, and I guess I just wanted to mention, as the heavens will fall, that we will be together soon if we will be anything at all.
January 3, 200719 yr Actually, a crossbow is much slower than a shortbow. Let's see here. Crossbow = One-handed, meaning you can have a shield (as was already mentioned), also has access to the special effect bolts. Shortbow = Much faster but two handed, meaning no shield I don't range much, but from the comparisons of my dabbling in shortbows after the bolts update, that's the information I gathered.

January 3, 200719 yr Use a shortbow, or knives. Don't bother with a crossbow, why would you want to hold a shield when you will use safespots anyway :P

January 4, 200719 yr stay away from crossbows when training. They take an eternity and a half to fire. Even with enchanted bolts, u have to be an expert at them to actually make those bolts worth it. Go with knives/shortbows. Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.
