Where it sits on the Anvil ladder
The Weapon Upgrade Anvil runs two ladders: upgrading walks a piece up its own family, while trading jumps sideways into a different weapon — and trades can bypass rank locks the shop enforces.
Comparable weapons
What else fills the same slot, ordered by damage. This family only has a couple of members, so the nearest relative is included too.
| Weapon | Dmg | Range | Cost | Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Longbow | 60 | 4,000 | 15c | — |
| Recurve Bow | 57 | 3,600 | 25c | 2 |
| Crossbow | 40 | 4,400 | 30c | 2 |
| Aged Crossbow | 34 | 3,400 | 20c | 1 |
| Aged Latchet Crossbow | 34 | 3,400 | 20c | 2 |
Carrying it
Every shot feeds the forest's awakening timer, so a ranged kill is never free — see noise discipline. It is silent, which means it does not wake anything the way a firearm does — usually the better trade even at 40–60 damage against a musket's 66. Ammunition economics are on the items page.
