Feed a Ripper crossbow Bloodstone and Flametal at the Black Forge and it becomes the Wound Ripper, the Ashlands answer to anything that has to die before it reaches you. It deals 220 pierce. With 220 total damage it ranks 4th for damage among crossbows, so it is a step on the ladder rather than the top of it. Pierce damage hurts the Tick and the Troll more than most things, and that is what you carry it for.

How to Craft

You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:

1x Ripper, made at a Black Forge.
8x Flametal, smelted from Flametal Ore in a Blast Furnace.
1x Bloodstone, found in the charred fortresses of the Ashlands.

Name	Biome	Crafting Station	Spawn ID
Ripper	Ashlands	Black Forge	`spawn CrossbowRipper`
Flametal	Ashlands	Blast Furnace	`spawn FlametalNew`
Bloodstone	Ashlands	-	`spawn GemstoneRed`

When to Use It

Use it in the late game. Flametal comes from the Ashlands, the furthest south the map goes.

Upgrades

You can upgrade it 3 times after crafting, and each level needs the station built one step further up than the last. Every other figure on this page is for quality 1, so this is the ladder your own copy sits somewhere on:

Quality	Crafting Station	Pierce	Durability	Resources
1	Black forge (Level 4)	220	50	1x Ripper 8x Flametal 1x Bloodstone
2	Black forge (Level 5)	223	100	8x Flametal 1x Bloodstone
3	Black forge (Level 6)	226	150	16x Flametal 2x Bloodstone
4	Black forge (Level 7)	229	200	32x Flametal 4x Bloodstone

Properties

Its damage grows the more hurt you are. Bloodstone adds 0.2% damage per point of health you are missing, on top of a 220-pierce bolt. At 100 health down, that comes to about 264 before the bolt and the sneak multiplier.

The reload is the risk. Each shot takes 6 seconds, and a sprint or a jump cancels it, all while the gem rewards you for being nearly dead. Bring a melee weapon to cover the gap.

Notes

Loading takes 3.5 seconds and 4 stamina. Once you add the ready and firing animations, you can only fire once every 6 seconds.
Jumping or sprinting resets your loading progress, and you cannot load bolts while sprinting.
Switching weapons loses a loaded bolt: the crossbow reloads from empty every time you equip it again.
