Poison Arrow Crossbow

Weapon · WeaponCrossbow3

No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.

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 Poison Arrow Crossbow

Poison Arrow Crossbow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Poison 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.

Schematics That Unlock Poison Arrow Crossbow

Poison 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

Fire Arrow Crossbow matches it exactly at 448 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. The next real step is Poison Arrow Crossbow at 490; below it is Crossbow at 406.
