** To the best of my knowledge, no.  The material will only affect the damage the crossbow does when the wielder decides to club enemies with it. --[[User:DeMatt|DeMatt]] 06:50, 27 September 2010 (UTC)

***what IS the range of a standard crossbow? 'cause i've been told it was about 20 tiles, but i've seen my guys firing at something 25-30 tiles away. i didnt check if they were using masterwork crossbows or standard, but if the quality affects the accuracy, it's not unreasonable to assume it also affects the range, too?--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 01:21, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

**** I've witnessed that my most skilled marksdwarf shooting from beyond 25 tiles while the others around him did not even try. I didn't check the quality of his crossbow compared to the others' though, nor the kind of bolts they all had. Might be interesting to try.--[[User:NMO|NMO]] 05:27, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

*It seems as if the Archer skill affects melee damage. I tested this just now, but I'm still using v. 31.12, so verification would be nice. --[[User:Artifakt|Artifakt]] 12:20, 17 October 2010
