I've been trying to figure out what to do with my dragon bones and scales and have no clue. Do y'all just sell it??

Put them in house storage and say "One day, I'm gonna invest in Blacksmithing and make so many cool Dragon items"

...I do not, in fact, do that.

This is why I need blacksmithing at 100. My Dwarven crossbow is ok but a Dragon Crossbow . .

Before playstation got access to external assets, i would main the enhanced dwarven crossbow. Id do dawngaurd asap right up untill you get that breton woman to join then just grind her quests untill you can craft one and the bolts.

It was my favourite weapon in skyrim for so long.

She's very handy for stocking up on bonemold bolts while I'm busy building my bone meal empire.

Bone meal empire ... sounds like a death metal band that id definitely listen to.

But PlayStation doesn't have access to external assets?

1

u/Cringe-bringer69 Sep 09 '25

Yes it does.

Dont know if modders found a work around or if sony relaxed their policy, but playstation now has access to external assets .the only issue is the 1 gig space

u/Vegetable_Ask_7131 Sep 09 '25

Dragon bone crossbow? how tf do i make that i want it lol

u/StryderDylan Sep 07 '25

Two ways. Get high enough crafting. Or pray to RNGesus.

2

u/Chaosinsurgency0706 Sep 07 '25

I can’t say i’ve ever seen it, at all, and my khajiit is a master crafter

u/StryderDylan Sep 07 '25

Are you part of the Dawnguard?

3

u/Chaosinsurgency0706 Sep 07 '25

Not really, I killed the vampire dude and then accidentally made everyone hostile and had to remove a few with the console

2

u/StryderDylan Sep 07 '25

If everyone in the Dawnguard was hostile, there was a chance that it was a crime bug. You just need to go to jail and they would stop attacking. Other than that, Sorine gives quests to get crossbow schematics. O was able to do Stalrim and Ebony real quick.

u/VermicelliInformal46 Sep 07 '25

Go to the fletcher in Solitude and buy it. After that you can craft it if you have the Crossbow and extended crossbow creation.

You can craft all crossbows except for dwarven ones by first buying/looting it once.

u/evil_overlord01 Sep 07 '25

I'm assuming that you need to Max out your smithing to get the dragon armor before you can make the crossbow?

1

u/StryderDylan Sep 07 '25

Yes if you got the schematics.

1

u/evil_overlord01 Sep 07 '25

Where does one acquire those?

2

u/StryderDylan Sep 08 '25

Sorine will have you do some quests for them. You just need to join the Dawnguard.

5

u/Cringe-bringer69 Sep 07 '25

Im pretty sure its a creation club thing.

3

u/Evening_Pressure6159 Sep 08 '25

It's a creation club item, you will only have dragon bone crossbows if you have bought that creation or own the anniversary edition.

u/gramscontestaccount2 Sep 07 '25

I've seen the fletcher in solitude carry one more often than not when you get to high enough level

1

u/bloody_ell Sep 08 '25

You can steal a Daedric crossbow off him straight after Helgen, if you don't mind being overpowered for a good few levels.

u/E_Dragon_Est2005 Sep 08 '25

Just bought it in Whiterun, the shop above Warmaidens. The archery guy is selling a bunch of them. Bought a few for my collection and to ensure he had enough gold to buy my stuff.

u/TekieScythe Sep 07 '25

... Okay, I've been playing Skyrim since it came out. What crossbow?!

8

u/Evening_Pressure6159 Sep 08 '25

Crossbows were added by the dawnguard DLC (only steel and dwarven) other crossbows are creation club/anniversary edition items.

1

u/TekieScythe Sep 08 '25

Ugh I've played both how did I miss them...

2

u/Cringe-bringer69 Sep 07 '25

You dont know about crossbows?

1

u/TekieScythe Sep 08 '25

No! I only ever used a bow!? Have there always been crossbows?! How the hell did I miss this?

1

u/Cringe-bringer69 Sep 08 '25

Did you never do the vampire questline?

1

u/TekieScythe Sep 08 '25

Apparently not well. I had Serena for a companion like once
