Fire Arrow Crossbow
Weapon · WeaponCrossbow4★Crossbow chambered for Fire Arrows, which it needs to fire at all. Its bolts do Fire damage and set Pals burning, softening them up for capture.
Fire Arrow Crossbow is among the best crossbows by attack — 2nd of 15, at 490 against the 490 of Crossbow.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
At 13 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. It sells for almost nothing, so do not bother hauling it to a shop.

Where to Find Fire Arrow Crossbow
Fire Arrow Crossbow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Fire Arrow Crossbow
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 280 to 490, a 1.8x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Fire Arrow Crossbow | 280 | 300 |
| 1★ | Fire Arrow Crossbow | 364 | 800 |
| 2★ | Fire Arrow Crossbow | 406 | 1000 |
| 3★ | Fire Arrow Crossbow | 448 | 1200 |
| 4★ | Fire Arrow Crossbow (this one) | 490 | 1400 |
Ammunition Fire Arrow Crossbow Uses
Fire Arrow Crossbow takes 3 kinds of ammunition — Arrow, Fire Arrow, Poison Arrow — so the damage you actually deal depends as much on what you loaded as on the weapon itself.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2 |
 Fire Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2, Flame Organ ×1 |
 Poison Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2, Venom Gland ×1 |
Schematics That Unlock Fire Arrow Crossbow
Fire Arrow Crossbow is not learned from the Technology tree — you need a schematic for it. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.

Alternatives and Upgrades
Crossbow matches it exactly at 490 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. Nothing above it is meaningfully stronger, so this is effectively the top of the class — below it is Poison Arrow Crossbow at 490.
