Version 3.5.1
- Wrong esp had been uploaded.
-
Version 3.5
- Now changing the name of the mod to Legendary Skyrim Crossbows & Bows.
- Removed the time frame limits on the daedric crossbows. (They could only be made at night)
- The Stahl variant crossbows were missing attack, draw and sheath sounds.
- Staledur and Stalneisti were both missing the VendorItemOreIngot Keyword. (Thanks ryuzaki67)
- Assassins Paralyze and Soul Trap arrows were not functioning. Should be working now.
- The Items chest I "Had" added disappeared. Now it is back it has 1 of each item added by LSC and 50 of each bolt\arrow. Named "LSC_Supplies" formid **DC5FC2
- A couple of the special bolts could still be picked up after being fired. Changed it.
- Added Bound Arrows. It is a lesser power that grants you the use of bound arrows for 120 seconds. Comes form a book only sold in the rare lists.
- Mistakenly LSC had several leveled lists that didn't relate to it so i've removed those.
- Announcing the addition of Scoped bows! https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/50528? by outlaw666 only the non-replacing scoped bows have been added. Same as with the original mod they are all craftable and added to the leveled lists.
- Added the 4 scoped crossbows from Simple Scoped Crossbows https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/95523 by grey848
- Added the Unique Bows Collection https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/32405/? by Artisanix. I've included the Redux Balancing from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/64879? by Teabag86
- Added the Bodkin, leaf, and swallow tail Arrows from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/82054? By jet4571 For now these are not craft-able. You can buy therm and some enemies will have them as loot.
- Added a Magelight Bolt and Arrow. They are enchanted steel arrows\bolts. You can craft them after gaining the arcane crafting skill and you need 24 bolts or arrows, 1 petty soul gem and 2 Blue Mountain Flowers. They do no damage and can be picked up after firing. Sold in varied quantities by, Farengar, Solitude bits and bobs and Tolfdir at the mages college. They are also silent when hitting targets.
- Added the 2 Arcane bows from https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37186? by rerout they can be crafted after gaining the arcane blacksmith version. (Considering adding a base enchantment to each like Magika drain or magika regen. Not sure yet)
- Added the Bolts and Arrows from Bad Ass Alchemist Arsenal https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49083? by shiholude and including the Bolts and arrows from Sneak Tools https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/19447/ by Borgut1337 The only one not included was the rope bolt\arrow. This adds Calm, Enrage, Fire, Flare, Glue, Noise, Oil, Poison, Shock, Silver and Water.
- Due to the inclusions from Bad Ass Alchemist Arsenal The old Torch Bolts and Arrows are now removed. The fire ones included from BAAA are far superior. I am leaving the old Silver Bolts and Arrows as they are aesthetic only ones.
- Added a whole new Crossbow and Bolt! The Mihail Crossbow and spiral Bolt can be crafted after gaining the Advanced armors perk and will be sold by some of the vendors.
- Credit goes to https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/70422? by justice123
- Checked compatibility with ABT. I was missing a few arrows. I added them in. LSC makes all of the changes to gravity and speed as ABT of plus 50%. Gravity is now .2 for both bolts and arrows and speed is 5400 for arrows and bolts it is 8100.
- Bound crossbow has been disabled from the mod until it works in 1st person properly. It is still fully in the mod for people who want to use and for those who play 3rd person as it works fine. The only way to get the spellbook is too console it in for now though. Also added a copy to the chest in High Hrothgar.
- Current Totals:
- 28 New Arrows
- 71 New Bolts
- 1 New Power
- 1 New Spell

This mod adds in crossbows as a full expansion to Skyrim. There are crossbows for each material type, artifact crossbows, faction crossbows and they have been added seamlessly into the whole of Skyrim. Enemies will now have a chance of using crossbows and you will find them just like you would any other type of weapon.
Current Totals:
- 28 New Arrows
- 71 New Bolts
- 1 New Power
- 1 New Spell
- 60 New Bows (Many are only Artifacts to be discovered)
- 54 New Crossbows
The aim of this mod is to bring all of the crossbows you know and more seamlessly into Skyrim and have it done in such a way that they all benefit from being balanced and added in the same way. This adds to date 65 new Bolts and Arrows, 3 new types of Bows and 42 new types of Crossbows. Everything included has benefited from being given the same treatment towards damage balancing, values, weight and crafting recipes. There are special types of crossbows you can craft after you become full fledged members of the major Skyrim factions. Now you can use torch arrows and torch bolts to light your way. (Or light your enemies on fire)
This list is currently incomplete! Please see the changelog for the newest additions. I will update and clean this page soon!!!

Faction Crossbows:
Spoiler:
To be able to craft the crossbows you need to have the crafting manuals (see screenshot section) in your inventory and read the instructions! Dawnguard and Companion crossbows require you to finish their story-lines respectively before you can see the crossbows in the crafting interface.
There are pictures in the images section that show you where each Manual is located and I have placed a chest of all the manuals in High Hrothgar as a backup. I have also placed a Crossbow of each factions type near each manual.
Adds a craftable crossbow, unique quiver and four types of bolts for each of the following factions: Companions, Dawnguard, Dark Brotherhood, Nightingales, Thieves Guild, Imperial Legion and Stormcloaks.
The Nightingales Manual can be found in the oath room of Nightingale Hall.
For the Dawnguard Crossbow you need to finish the Ancient Technology quest that gives you access to the advanced Dawnguard Crossbows.
For the Nord Hero Crossbow you need to finish the companions storyline and then talk to Eorlund Gray-Mane to gain access to the Nord Hero weapons. Nord Hero weapons can only be crafted at the Skyforge.

Spoiler:
Forsworn have found that Horker Tusks make excellent Bows, Arrows, Cowssbows and Bolts. Thus they have begun to craft and use them.
The Vigilants of Stendarr developed silver Bows, Arrows, Cowssbows and Bolts to further the fight against undead.
Silver hand spies found this out and realized the side effect of extra damage to werebeasts and adopted the creation and use.
As a extra reward for completing "Pieces of the Past" Mehrunes Dagon imbues you with the ability to create arrows and bolts that contain his essence and have a chance to instantly kill your enemies.
There are now variations on the Stalhrim set from the second Skyrim DLC, Dragonborn. Stalneisti (Meaning Steel Spark in Icelandic) and Staleldur (Meaning Steel Fire in Icelandic) both come in Heavy and Light armor and includes all weapon types and arrows. Staleldur items have a light red tone, while Stalneisti has a deeper purple coloring. Similar to the Stalhrim set, these weapons and armor give a 25% enchanting boost for their assigned element. You have to have completed "A new source of Stalhrim" To be able to smith these items. The ores are added to leveled lists for the blacksmiths in Solstheim at lvl 30 and Baldur in Skaal village has a respawning barrel at his smithy that contains Stalhrim, Staledur and Stalneisti ores.

Torch Arrows and Bolts:
Spoiler:
With one arrow or bolt you will be able to:
These arrows are meant to be mid-level items, but should still be useful at higher levelsFires that are attached to the ground, wall or ceiling will last 15 seconds (10 for bolts) and then snuff themselves out.
The light radius of the fires is slightly bigger than the vanilla torch.Note: Fire trap DOT operates based on tiers according to the level of the owner (the one who fired the arrow/bolt) AND the level of the target.
For example, if the owner is in Tier 3 and the target is in Tier 5 (higher level), fire traps will do Tier 3 damage to that target. If the owner is in Tier 7 and the target is in Tier 2 (lower level), then the Fire traps will do Tier 2 damage to that target. Basically, damage is always scaled to the lowest leveled actor involved, to prevent the a low level NPC or player from punching above their weight class, while allowing the arrows and bolts to scale with the player.
Fire from bolts does slightly less DOT than arrows
Arrows may be found in shops (most reliably in the Solitude Fletcher's shop and The Drunken Huntsman in Whiterun) for purchase, or may be looted from Bandits or Imperial guards/soldiers (if a town is under imperial control, the guards may have Torch Arrows)
Bolts may be found on some Dawnguard NPCs, or for sale from Sorine Jurard's shop
To craft the arrows, you will need- The book "Fihada's Research Notes" which can be found or bought in the Fletcher's shop in Solitude.
To craft the bolts you will need
The recipe to make a bundle of 24 arrows is
- 24 x Steel Arrows
- 1 x Dwarven Oil
- 1 x Fire Salts
