Dwarven Crossbow Location
Sorine Jurard can teach the recipe once the Dwarven Crossbow Schematic reaches her. The schematic comes from the second-to-last Ancient Technology quest, so siding with the Dawnguard is required.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Upgrades
A Dwarven Crossbow is improved at a grindstone with one Dwarven Metal Ingot per improvement. The Dwarven Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.
| Quality | Smithing | With Perk | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine | 14 | 14 | +1 |
| Superior | 31 | 22 | +3 |
| Exquisite | 65 | 40 | +5 |
| Flawless | 100 | 57 | +7 |
| Epic | 134 | 74 | +8 to +9 |
| Legendary | 168 | 91 | +10 |

Weapon Levels
Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.
Dwarven Crossbow has the same damage at every character level.
| Level | Damage | Weight | Value | Enchantment | Level ID |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12+ | 22 | 20 | 350 | Enchantable | XX00B647 |
