Notes about using this chart:

  • I did not make all the light crossbows in the tinkering book; I only made the bow models from the Tinkering products page of difficulty tier 6 and above.
  • Affinity seems to be the singular property of any wood in relationship to the combat properties of a finished piece.
  • I made at least two levels of affinity for each bow model, 85 and 95 affinity.
  • I made two different mechanisms for each bow/wood/style, one at either end of the ductility values. Usually, darkstone (20) or Nickel/Brass (both 90)
    • Ductility does not have seem to make a large difference from 96 down to 31. You need to get under 30 for it to change. Whether this is fractional, too, I have no idea. But 31-96 ductility ... seems to yield the exact same results in the mechs.
    • Ductility in the mechanisms below 30 results in -2 to balance and +1 to suitedness
  • Loading time is from hand, without any penalties. Where there is a decimal value, that is an average of 25 loads (sometimes more, but even with a script, it is as tedious as watching paint dry). The average should give you an idea whether a bow will have more 4 second loads than 5 second ones. There is a definite difference, depending on the mods and mechs.
  • The Points column is the sum of FOI, BALANCE, and SUITEDNESS
  • There is no draw strength listed here because it is not part of Xbow appraisal
  • When a xbow has been modified by cabling or lightening, and the appraisal stays the same, it is because the difference is fractional.
  • Lightening adds to balance, removes from suitedness (always, even if only fractional), shaves off a few stones, and sometimes impacts the draw, too.
  • Cable-backing adds to suitedness, removes from balances, (always, even if only fractional), adds a few stones, and ...sometimes impacts the draw, too.
  • lam = laminated
  • cab = cable-backed
  • li=lightened

Remember: FOI impacts damage potential Balance = Accuracy Suitedness affects the power in the hit (Then your skills, stats, and situation get all mixed in, too.)
