How bad are they? I'm looking at the ESOS of simple crossbows, the Ratcatcher, 18-20 / x3.

They may as well not exist they're so bad.

Swift Demise is a nice filler piece until your later Mechanic or Arti levels kick in and .

Heavy Xbow ML 6
19-20 X 3 [1d10]
crippling
red slot

http://ddowiki.com/page/Swift_Demise

I used it for three hours last night until I could equip Greensteel.

Hope that helps.

Might as well try completing the quest with an eternal wand.

No, but you can imbue xbows with AA imbues. Use bow, turn on imbue, swap to xbow, laugh maniacally.

Yes I know that, but what I'm really enchanted with is the idea of running a quest with just a eternal wand, like some Hogwarts drop out.

Thank you sir, may I have another?

I was wondering about how ranger stuff would work on a mechanic.

Yes. To clarify, it is not me hitting blitz that caused the word blitz, that is blitz charging.

Because running attack speed with a scroll equipped is bugged?

So a trickier question... is there a good 'plain' x-bow build out there? I ask because I happened to get one of those random god combination of random gen loot before loot got feathered on a regular heavy x-bow, always thought it would be fun to use. lvl 25 Oceanic phlebotomizing heavy x-bow. Probably still not good, but meh, can always be silly like scroll-fu.

The only thing I can think of to make this even less fun is to go into zombie form.

Now you're talking! Try zombie form + burden of guilt.

Or zombie form + burden of guilt + artificer rune arm charging + heavy encumbrance + sneak.

Also, many people forget there's a "walk" key.
