Very high round time to load, but the highest damage you can get with 1 second round time. Load up a pile of these and you have some serious snappable damage. Good for PvP and Thieves. There are two types of HX: arbalest and non-arbalest types. The non-arbalest types are just like longer loading, harder hitting versions of [[Light_Crossbow_skill|LX]], but require an open hand to load and aim. These can be loaded and worn on on the shoulder. A arbalest type HX has load times between 18 and 21 seconds, can be used with only one open hand, but can '''not''' be loaded then worn on the shoulder. Here is a visual aid on arbalests.[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbalest]

A heavy crossbow is the slowest class of bow in Dragonrealms. With high enough stats, a character can slightly reduce the hefty roundtime associated with loading a heavy crossbow. Since [[strength]] is the most significant stat for reducing load time, the heavy crossbow is sometimes favored over the light crossbow for stronger characters.

A heavy crossbow is the slowest class of bow in Dragonrealms. With high enough stats, a character can slightly reduce the hefty roundtime associated with loading a heavy crossbow. Since strength is the most significant stat for reducing load time, the heavy crossbow is sometimes favored over the light crossbow for stronger characters.

There are two types of heavy crossbow: arbalest and non-arbalest types. The non-arbalest types are just like longer loading, harder hitting versions of the light crossbow, but require an open hand to load and aim. These can be loaded ahead of time and worn on the shoulder. A arbalest type heavy crossbow has load times between 18 and 21 seconds and can be loaded and fired while the off hand is full, but can not be worn.
