The Frostfire Crossbow is a Nord Crossbow reforged with a Frostfire Essence. It gives up 32 pierce for 88 frost and 12 fire, for 332 total damage against the Nord Crossbow's 264.
How to Craft
Crafted at a level 4 Black Forge from:
- 1x Nord Crossbow: Hardened from Cast: Nord Crossbow and Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
- 20x Bloodgold: Smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
- 1x Frostfire Essence: Dropped by Fallen Warriors, which you call up at a Memorial Site with three Memorial Coal.

When to Use It
End game. You need Fader dead before you can progress through the Deep North.
Upgrades
You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge. Each step needs the station one level higher than the last, and costs the per-level amount and then twice that. Quality 4, at four times the per-level amount, needs a level 7 Black Forge, above its current maximum of 6, so that row is out of reach.

Properties
Load it, then fire. You can hold a loaded bolt as long as you like, and firing costs no stamina.
You move 5% slower while it is in your hands.
At quality 1 it deals 232 pierce, 12 fire and 88 frost, 332 in total. That is 44% more than Root Ripper and Storm Ripper, which deal 230 at quality 1 and are the joint hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 8 pierce, 3 fire and 3 frost, so at quality 3 it reaches 248 pierce, 18 fire and 94 frost, 360 in total.
Its hits knock back with a force of 210.
It weighs 1.5 and has 300 durability, or 400 at quality 3.
Here is how its damage lands on Deep North creatures. Pierce does full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose, and reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Krigen, Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and Kall Fimbulbringer. Fire does extra damage to Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Barka, Elakings, Skeletons, Hexen and Moose, and full damage to the Eyeless One, Krigen, Captive Fulings and Imprisoned Dvergr. It does reduced damage to Fallen Warriors, Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and Kall Fimbulbringer, and none at all to Gammeltrolls. Frost does extra damage to Shapeless and Tiny Pulps, and full damage to Fallen Warriors, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Captive Fulings and Imprisoned Dvergr. It does reduced damage to Barka, Elakings, the Eyeless One, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Moose, Kall Fimbulbringer, Hexen and Krigen.
Quality 4 needs a level 7 Black Forge, above its current maximum of 6, so in practice it stops at quality 3.
Crafting it from scratch and taking it to quality 3 costs 70 Bloodgold, 10 Timberwood and 4 Frostfire Essence, plus a mould and 5 Liquid Frost.
Notes
- The essence drops from the Fallen Warriors that three Memorial Coal call up at a Memorial Site.
- Once it reaches its last quality level, the Forge of Potential can push it further with a Bloodgold Battle Idol.
