How do the bow-related Archery skill perks affect crossbows?
Solution 1:
Everything that affects bows affect crossbows as well (damage multiplier etc), even Deadly Aim
. Those perks that aren't immediately obvious work like this:
-
Hunter's Discipline
- more bolts (from mobs who drop bolts in the first place) -
Ranger
- move faster while aiming and reloading -
Quick Draw
- faster reload
Update: The mechanic of the weapons can be confusing.
- Bow: Ready-draw-aim-shoot-ready.
- Crossbow: Ready-aim-shoot-reload-ready.
Quick draw yields faster draw for bow and faster reload for crossbow. Ranger lets you move faster while aiming with your bow or crossbow. The thing with a crossbow is that you aim an already loaded weapon and with the bow the draw action is part of the aiming. In the end, it's no real difference.
