Crossbows are a very uncommon weapon in [[Innworld]]. So uncommon, that neither adventurer-guild [Receptionist] [[Selys]] nor the shopkeeper of a Gnoll Weapon's shop had any idea what Erin wanted to buy as an emergency weapon for her inn.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2016/12/21/1-32/ Chapter 1.32]</ref>

Drakes favour crossbows over bows in warfare, as their claws makes it more difficult for them to handle bows.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/07/04/9-51-z/ Chapter 9.51 Z]</ref> Armored Antinium also use crossbows, in contrast to the other Hives which usually field Workers wielding bows for ranged combat.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/13/4-18/ Chapter 4.18]</ref>

[[Cervial]] had acquired a dwarven-made master crossbow that he put to use during the raid on the [[Ruins of Liscor]]. This weapon was a novelty to most of the adventurers that went with him and was meant to ensure their success.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/02/07/1-41/ Chapter 1.41]</ref>

After Cervial's demise, [[Rags]] found that very crossbow, managed to repair the apparatus and let the goblins of her tribe copy the design. That resulted in less powerful weapons than her '''black crossbow''', as it was referred to in the series from then on.

Ryoka also couldn't remember having seen a crossbow anywhere in Innworld, aside from Rags'/Cervial's.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/04/22/2-15 Chapter 2.16]</ref>
