It's been a while since I played Dawnguard, but I don't remember them specifically talking about recovering crossbows (other than the schematics for the advanced versions).
I really like the idea of making steel crossbows available in the world, and only being able to craft them at one forge never did make any sense. Patches for Ars Metallica and Skyrim Redone are available. Hearthfire and Dragonborn will be added in due course. Can be purchased at any blacksmith or fletcher shop
Steel bolts and crossbows should be pretty common weapon in Skyrim in my oppinion and the availability should be quite similar to bows and arrows.Īlso, once you acquire knowledge of how to forge Dwarven crossbows and bolts and explosive bolts, you should be able to craft them at any forge, if you have the relevant perk. but I will anyway, as I think this is somewhat of a fix that should be in the game from the beginning.ĭid you ever wonder why crossbows and certain bolts can only be crafted at Gunmar's forge, even though it's not any special kind of forge? And why vendors never have any steel crossbows and steel bolts for sale, despite always being stocked on bows and arrows? I know we should not recommend our own mods.
