Hi all.
I’ve been noticing that while crossbows and bows share the same damage type - Stab - that they still for some inexplicable reason deal different damage amounts.
Here’s my bow and crossbow.
As you can see, the bow has vastly superior minimum and maximum damage…
… yet in many situations, the crossbow does double the damage, despite them both being stab-type. Anyone have any explanation for this?
If you notice the Freyas Bow has the +5 prefix, and under “Physical Attack” it says “Anvil enhancement ▲25”. This means the previous owner of that bow used an anvil to improve its damage 5 times successfully, which boosts both the minimum and maximum damage by 25 points. Originally, the bow attacked for 74-111 damage.
That’s my bow, and if you read, I said that the bow is the one that should do more damage, yet it does not.

Might be your class/attributes are activating some passives? I can’t really provide a better answer from this other than that you’re not accounting for critical hit ratio (I think Critical Attack might be that stat otherwise I don’t know what goes on under the hood).
I’m pretty sure this was a bug that got patched in the kr version. I’ll confirm this as soon as I get home. However, I think crossbows are supposed to have a unique damage type - however the huge difference is probably due to the bug.
Crossbows attack a fraction of a second faster than bows, although it may just be the animation fooling me.
Sourpuss’ answer seems the most probably. I found it weird that archers had only one damage type, so… yeah.
Yeah, here it is (google translated, but the message is clear enough):
- Archer family -specific This phenomenon applies to damages that were higher than the two-handed crossbow bow of the items have been corrected in the circumstances.
The sentence structure is practically reversed, but it’s saying the phenomenon that crossbow items had higher damage than two-handed [bows] was corrected.
I have the same problem right now. Crossbow dealing double the damage to some monsters but less damage to others than my bow. Like they were different types of damage.
Also, xbow has a glitch after each atacking animation making you run a little while shooting. It makes kiting easier.
