Anonymousdon't really get the point of this crossbow. does less damage than all of them, obviously. figured it could be a good "starting" crossbow but it's arguably harder to get than the light crossbow, since you have to farm enemies for a rare drop instead of just buying it for cheap. technically it has easier requirements to meet, but any melee build has the stats to use the light cb, and magic builds don't really have use for it. I guess for level 1 builds, but even then, those pretty much always use radagon's seal anyways.

East means right on the map, just spend 3 hours farming the ones to the west to no avail.

Ah yes, soldier, blade of godrick's sidearm of choice. Truly capable of destroying outer gods, let alone mere mortals and demigods

In limgrave, the best place to farm this is directly east of the death touched catacombs site of grace to the stakes, where there is a godrick soldier with a greatshield and spear and a small group of foot soldiers including two with these crossbows.

I got it quickly from going through the stormveil frontages, just avoid the ballista's and get to the red hooded ones with the crossbows

Maybe not an optimal Farmspot but i farmed mine from this Spot:
Go to the Saintsbridge Grace and Turn around. Go through the canyon and make a sharp right up the Hill towards the crucifixes. There will be three soldiers and a knight. Two soldiers wear the crossbow and can drop them.

I think that it's dumb that you can't have a no skill ash of war on crossbows.

This can be fired and reloaded one handed, and is the lightest
Useful for the RL1 weirdos who can't bothered to two-hand the heavier versions. Good luck with the drop-rates though.
