Reduction of Crossbow Requirements?
#1
So I was poking through the custom items and found two items of interest. Item 300403, Crude Crossbow and 300404, Simple Crossbow, which are the back sheathed Crossbow model custom items, similar to the back sheathed bow and gun weapons from the special weapons merchant. However, to my dismay, they are set to only be equipped by a character of level 80 or above. It strikes me as odd, at least for the simple crossbow, that they should be restricted to profiled characters. Crossbows aren't exactly ultimate doom weapons that only the most battle hardened should be able to wield. Given the prevalence of regular crossbows as a starting weapon for hunters, like for humans, draenei, and undead, I would think that a back sheathed crossbow model would be good to have available for players of any level, as it may be the preferred weapon type for even an unprofiled character. Personally, I came across the items in question while looking at two characters I am currently working on profiles for. I was just kind of wondering if it'd be possible to have them bumped down on the level requirement, so that we might make use of them on lowbie characters, same as the regular back sheathed bows and guns. Just kind of curious if this could happen.

The above was mandatory.

Srs: More crossbows would be great, though the last one I saw used on a character's back needed to be turned more on the model as well. Right now, you impale yourself with the crossbow. Think it is fixable, don't recall it did that when it was put on the vendor first.

Honestly, the rotational issue is just a piece of immersion that can be overlooked, in my opinion. The fact that I straight up cannot have it until I finish profiling Darrel and Shialis, which given how long Darrel's is getting may well take weeks, is a little disappointing.

The level restrictions should be removed upon a restart! If you still see it after, you'll need to do a cache purge.

I am very grateful for this. Thank you very much for your understanding.

@Kretol ; Related to crossbows, is there any trinket-animation-item out there to be put on Garrok the Destroyer? The bow one doesn't quite work! I've looked around, found plenty of "Aim" ; Would one of those work? ( http://www.wowhead.com/spells=-8?filter=na=aim ) Also plenty of "Shoot". ( http://www.wowhead.com/spells=-8?filter=na=shoot No idea if its actually a crossbow animation.)

Also, since we have so many pretty bows on the custom weapon vendor; Is there a possibility of adding crossbows to him, that show on the back? Not quite sure how that works or what you need to make it happen. Change model to swords maybe and give it a rotational spin?

http://www.wowhead.com/item=64620would be so pretty on one's back.

Edit: Found a NPC that has a crossbow animation spell; Perhaps your magic can be worked on it?

The forsaken above uses a crossbow and two abilities called "Shoot", one of them (is my guess) may have the animation?
