Crossbows Skill ID

Crossbows is one of Valheim's character skills, tracked under the internal ID Crossbows. Determines damage, stamina cost and draw time with Crossbows.

Experience is gained at 1 per bolt when hitting a creature.

At max level (100) it grants +131% damage and knockback,-50% reload time.

Adjust your level from the console with raiseskill Crossbows 10 to add 10 points, or resetskill Crossbows to wipe it back to 0.

Every Valheim skill ranges from level 0 to 100, and its bonus grows as the level climbs — the +131% damage and knockback,-50% reload time above is the full value you reach at level 100. Crossbows earns experience at 1 per bolt when hitting a creature, so it climbs fastest when you use it deliberately.

Dying is the catch: each death drains roughly 5% of your level in every skill, Crossbows included, so a hard-won level erodes quickly on a dangerous run. To claw it back without the grind, run raiseskill Crossbows 10 — that adds ten levels at once, and you can pass any amount (or a negative number to lower it). Prefer a clean slate? resetskill Crossbows wipes the skill back to 0.
