I'm drooling over a couple things Tsin has, so I'm going to offer up something for sale I never thought I would, and I'm guessing, probably wont sell. It's the self ammo mechanical crossbow from the Anfelt. I actually gave it to a friend to use, so my own personal knowledge is rather limited.
Interested parties should IM me at Tayvin, or email at Tayvin@aol.com.
I do know the flares seem a little weak to me, but my friend is a bard and uses tonis with it, for a 1 second cock, 1 second aimed shot, and he destroys pretty much everything he hunts. If the shot does *NOT* destroy the target, it will flare in the exact spot with the mechanical flares. Fun to watch. So here is what I know.

a silver-veined heavy glowbark crossbow etched with intricate runes

>remove crossbow
You unsling a silver-veined heavy glowbark crossbow etched with intricate runes off from over your shoulder.
>look crossbow
You see a silver-veined heavy glowbark crossbow etched with intricate runes which is cocked and loaded with a blade-tipped slender black bolt.
You see nothing unusual, except for a small enchanter's glyph.
There appears to be something written on it.
>read crossbow
In the Common language, it reads:
Star Gazer

You cock your glowbark crossbow. A blade-tipped slender black bolt materializes at your crossbow's nock, loaded and ready to fire.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
You fire a blade-tipped slender black bolt at a cinder wasp!
AS: +370 vs DS: +255 with AvD: +33 + d100 roll: +35 = +183
... and hit for 37 points of damage!
Slash across right eye!
Hope the left is working.
The cinder wasp is stunned!
** As the bolt pierces the wasp's right eye, the small spring-loaded blades attached to the head suddenly spring open with incredible force! **
... 10 points of damage!
Slash to the cinder wasp's chest!
That heart's not broken, it's only scratched.
The bolt crumbles into tiny fragments, leaving a gaping wound in its place.
Roundtime: 3 sec.
You fire a blade-tipped slender black bolt at a cinder wasp!
AS: +370 vs DS: +208 with AvD: +33 + d100 roll: +67 = +262
... and hit for 83 points of damage!
Strong strike, punctures lung!
** As the bolt pierces the wasp's chest, the small spring-loaded blades attached to the head suddenly spring open with incredible force! **
... 15 points of damage!
Slash to the cinder wasp's chest!
Breathe deep, it'll feel better in a minute.
The bolt crumbles into tiny fragments, leaving a gaping wound in its place.
Roundtime: 3 sec.

The first thing that strikes you about the crossbow is the weight, which is about 13 pounds. In your best estimation, it's worth about 50,000,000 silvers.
You sense a faint aura of magic around the glowbark crossbow. From the pitch of the vibration you determine that the purpose of the crossbow is as some type of weapon.
It has a bonus of +27 from a normal crossbow, and the way it vibrates in tune with your voice tells you that it requires skill in ranged weapons to use effectively.

Doesn't look like it flared to the same location to me...

Or was that a mis-copy?>

Not sure, mentioned on the officials I need to get a grab of it recently, may have been a bug

I think it was pretty clearly stated that the flare will not hit the area if it has been destroyed. The eye was gone, so the chest was defaulted.


If the shot does *NOT* destroy the target, it will flare in the exact spot with the mechanical flares.

Meaning that if the flare does not occur in the same area, then the shot did destroy the target.

Ah, I don't know the messaging well enough to know if it was destroyed or not. Thanks Bob. The merchant was explicit that it would flare on an area that wasn't destroyed, every time.

Wasn't trying to crap on your item or anything, was just wondering if it was a bug/miscopy whatever. Bob's idea makes sense though...

bump, and for those that are asking, I'm valuing it over 100m

Do the bolts have an enchantment bonus or is the maximum bonus of the crossbow +27?
