All Possible Enchants For Crossbows

Here we provide a list of all the possible crossbow enchants, what they do, and what they're exclusive with

Level I

Multishot


Multishot fires three arrows at once in a spread pattern. This is useful for hitting multiple enemies at close range.

Level I - III

Quick Charge


Quick Charge reduces the time it takes to reload a crossbow. Higher levels allow for much faster firing during battles.

Level I - III

Unbreaking


Unbreaking gives your armour a chance not to lose durability when it takes damage. This significantly increases the lifespan of enchanted gear.

Level I

Mending


Mending repairs your armour using the experience you collect. Instead of gaining XP, it is used to restore item durability. Mutually exclusive with Infinity.

Level I - IV

Piercing


Piercing allows arrows to pass through multiple enemies. It also lets arrows ignore shields in combat. Mutually exclusive with Multishot.

Level I

Curse of Vanishing


Curse of Vanishing causes an item to disappear when the player dies. This prevents it from being recovered after death.
