The Crossbow is the standard crossbow of The Witcher 3. It comes in 7 versions, from Common to Relic. The Common version has +101% attack power and comes from Vesemir in White Orchard. The Relic version reaches +200% at level 30.
Why Players Pick It
Every version raises attack power, from +101% on the Common to +200% on the Relic. Damage runs from 4-6 up to 9-11. The Magic versions add armor piercing (+1-5 and +5-10). The later Magic version and the Relic add +1-2% adrenaline gain. The Relic also gives +1-10% bonus experience from monsters and from humans and nonhumans.
When to Use It
The Common version arrives at level 1 in White Orchard. The Master versions are levels 3 to 21, the Magic versions 14 to 26, and the Relic 30. The line runs from early to late game.

- Master (version 4): From level 8, it is in the deserter bandit camps north of Marauders' Bridge, near Mowshurst, between Lindenvale and Lurtch, and far north of Road to Bald Mountain.
- Magic (version 5): From level 14, Yanne at Kaer Trolde citadel and Éibhear Hattori sell it. It is also random loot.
- Magic (version 6): From level 20, Éibhear Hattori in Novigrad sells it. It is also random loot.
- Relic: From level 25, Éibhear Hattori sells it. It is rare random loot and is more common in Skellige's weapon containers.
Notes
- The level of versions 2 to 6 depends on the rolled attack power. For example, version 2 is level 3 up to 120% attack power and level 7 above it.
