Crossbow
Slow to draw, its arrow pierces a first target and hits harder than the bow's.
In the game
How to get it
A 3×3 grid: planks, an iron ingot, planks on top; a string, a stick, a string in the middle; a cell of planks at the bottom.
What it is for
A full draw takes 1.25 s; the shot goes through a first target into the next. It shoots ordinary arrows.
Why it exists
The bow's big brother, for the monsters that come in a line.
The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
The crossbow is held like a rifle and shoots arrows that pierce.
Recipe
In a 3×3 grid: on the top row a cell of Planks, an Iron ingot (the prod) and planks; in the middle row a String, a Stick (the trigger) and a string; a cell of planks at the bottom middle for the stock.
How to use it
Slow to draw, but its bolt pierces a first target.
