The Enhanced Crossbow is an Archery weapon that is identical to the regular crossbow in appearance and damage, but ignores 50% of armor. It is also heavier than the latter and has a higher base value.
Acquisition[]
An Enhanced Crossbow is available for purchase from Sorine Jurard at Fort Dawnguard after completing the first part to the quest "Ancient Technology." She will also teach the Dragonborn how to smith an enhanced crossbow if requested.
Smithing[]
After obtaining the schematics for it and asking Sorine Jurard how to create it, it may be smithed with the Steel Smithing. It can only be made at the blacksmith's forge in Fort Dawnguard and using the following components:
- 1 x Crossbow
- 2 x Corundum Ingot
It can be upgraded with a steel ingot at a grindstone, and also benefits from the Steel Smithing perk, which doubles the improvement.
Trivia[]
- This is the only weapon that can be created with Corundum Ingots.
