Arbalest

The Arbalest is the first crossbow and first Mistlands-tier crossbow crafted at a black forge. Its primary attack fires bolts. To attack, a bolt is first loaded into the crossbow. Loading itself takes 3.5 seconds and uses 3 stamina, however, with the firing, loading, and readying animations, it can only be fired every 6 seconds. Jumping and sprinting resets the loading progress and bolts cannot be loaded while sprinting. After the crossbow is loaded, it can be fired at any time at no stamina cost. After firing, another bolt will need to be loaded. The bolts do not stay loaded when switching to other weapons, so a bolt is loaded whenever the item is equipped.
The bolts travel significantly faster than arrows and follow a straight line instead of a parabolic curve (no gravity-induced drop, similar to a laser beam pulse in function).

== Notes ==
* This weapon's recoil deals knockback to the player when shot, which can result in falling off any steep objects.
* This weapon can be fired while blocking. However, you cannot block while loading a bolt.
* The speed of the bolts can make it significantly easier to hit enemy weakpoints, or hunt fast-moving enemies such as hares.
* This weapon has 50 lower durability than most bows of the same quality, such that at quality 2 (the highest quality able to be crafted as of the Mistlands update) it only has 100 durability, exactly enough to shoot one entire stack of bolts. Players should take note of this and prepare adequately before trying to use it on extended trips or in boss fights.
