Poison Arrow Crossbow
Weapon · WeaponCrossbow4★A Crossbow whose bolts leave the target poisoned, and a poisoned Pal goes into a sphere more readily. Runs on Poison Arrow.
Poison Arrow Crossbow is among the best crossbows by attack — 3rd 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 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.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 280 | 300 |
| 1★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 364 | 800 |
| 2★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 406 | 1000 |
| 3★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow | 448 | 1200 |
| 4★ | Poison Arrow Crossbow (this one) | 490 | 1400 |
Ammunition Poison Arrow Crossbow Uses
Poison 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 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 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 Crossbow at 448.
