Ok, so let's talk about crossbows.

Crossbows in this guild, and historically in real life, had one of two
functions:
-- to give someone a potent one-shot capability, after which they would engage
with hand weapons
-- to give less experienced soldiers a decent chance at hitting a target

I don't see a lot of highbies using crossbows, and that's completely fine. But
I would like to expand their use for low-level archers. I'm asking for ideas
that would help players, especially with under 20 archer levels, to make
crossbow use more attractive. I already have a few, but could use more.

The main problem of the guild is that you can't do anything without full
levels and futhermore without 100% on hop back, rapid shot, bypass armour,
location of weak points etc.. And that is also, sadly, answer to your
question. There are no such thing as newbie archers and wont be except for
very brief moments untill they understand that archers are ment to be support
guild for other primary guild rather than primary guild.
