Is this a good crossbow? From ritual, slammed then just vaaled
DPS is massive but missing +level to projectiles.
is the loads an additional bolt helpful for grenades?
Does nothing for grenade skills, they have cooldowns not reloads
Its great for explosive shot since the build doesnt use level proj, and aditional Bolt is amazing qol for it
no, grenades are not bolts, bolt is the ammo used by cross bows, its like the arrows for bows, or bullet for gun
Lol unfortunately I have no idea, I’ve made 3 mercs and never used a grenade skill.
Missing out for sure
You can get it on an amulet instead and you’re cruising
Bolt skill players like this base as well, not just grenade users. This base has the fastest base reload time.
Dude is shooting 2 hand maces in bolt form
Loads an additional bolt is dead on that gun, unfortunately. The base that would’ve benefited the most is the other wide gun that’s used for the thunder ammunition. Great flat damage but no proj skills+. You could try for a divine though. I could be off but just my read. GL
I know it was in 0.1 but Palsteron explosive shot build (deadeye) was craving for additional bolt and didn’t want +level.
It’s just an example I think other builds might be in the same case.
Additional Bolt is amazing for anything reliant on Galvanic, either as a delivery mechanism for Infusions or a Lightning build in general.
It’s missing crit/crit multi/APS as a second suffix though.
Corrupted.
I want to go ahead and give this trade advice as well.
For gear (like crossbows) that aren’t being used by any of the popular or well known builds you will find it very difficult to get any good value unless you rolled something truly insane.
This is because of 2 main factors that in tandem make seemingly decent or pretty good items unsellable/practically worthless.
Most players follow the meta at least to some degree whether intentional or not. Obviously there are those who just follow the guides for the “best” builds which means you get a large amount of players all looking for extremely similar items. This means everyone trying to profit off all this demand will tailor their filters and strategies to maximize profit. This is how even for players who do their own niche builds find themselves still having choices influenced by the meta.
This system creates an environment where builds going off meta are squeezed from both sides as supply is extremely limited because for the few players who even bother picking up or rolling those items they find they can’t even sell what are normally pretty good rolls which discourages them from attempting to roll future similar drops.
This downward spiral leads to these strange pockets of the market where most of the listings are unbelievably low and the only items worth anything meaningful are near perfect rolls at obscene prices.
My friend quite literally thought I was trying to scam him when I told him his T9 flat phys +7 proj crossbow was only worth around 40 ex.
Bit of a long read but I hope this helps some of you all have a better understanding of how the market tends work and how you can use that knowledge to figure out general pricing trends.
Thanks for posting this, makes a lot of sense.
Its both good and not good.
For grenades its good coz good base and high dmg, but its got no +lvl gems. So overall medicore.
For ammunition its good coz high dmg and extra bolt, but it has terrible reload time and no attack speed. So overall medicore.
So overall its medicore for both playstyles.
Thanks for coming to my tedTalk.
Ill just take this moment to make a PSA
If you aren’t familiar with crafting or crafting specific pieces of gear please do not yolo slam a vaal if the only reason is ??? Profit?
This had value as a crafting base and I probably would have reached out but now that option is gone
As is i don’t think it’s worth much.
Yeah, you’re right I wasn’t thinking straight when I vaaled it.
No worries we all mess up. Now you know better for next time
Also don’t put runes in. Runes are very cheap and anyone can put their own into it. A crit amazon would have preferred +accuracy runes, for example.
Well this is bad advice
Trading is about marketability. Understand people will filter based on important things like phys dps or ES
So to have the best shot to show up in someone’s filtered search you should always socket and put iron runes in items whose main selling point is how high it’s damage or defense is.
But the Amazon can just change the runes
what?
You can overwrite runes with new ones
oh shit, they added that? nice!
Yup. I just found out a few days ago if it makes you feel better lol

if this xbow wasn’t vaal it will be worth more
Would be very good if it had +projectile levels. Not a lot of end game players using crossbows so it needs to be sharp to get any buyers.
Noob here. What are the most common endgame merc weapons?
Most mercs still use crossbows, and the weapon has several viable builds, but the weapon just isn’t that popular, and neither is merc. Also the most popular crossbow build (shockburst / galvanic shards) works better as deadeye/amazon.
It is good, and can help you do T15 waystones. But do continue, and you can find even better ones. Something that has + to levels or attack speed.
1 div tops i would say Plus skills is overweighted
Having bought and sold a few crossbows the DPS alone will fetch a few Divs.
I bought a 1050 dps xbow for 10 Divs, used it for a while and later sold it for 11 Divs when I switched to spears.
Sold a 850 dps xbow for 4 Divs a few days ago.
None had +proj skills.
My god, where did you find one for 10 div? 700 dps ones are going for that and more.
This needs to have +5 projectile skills minimum. Otherwise it’s worthless
Worthless ? Buddy can still get a few Divs for it.
