A type of Bow that tends to fire slower, but cause more damage on a hit. The slow attack speed is much preferred by most hunters who specialize in Inv spear 07 [Aimed Shot], or a heavily Beast Mastery specced hunter (due to talents like Ability hunter serpentswiftness [Serpent's Swiftness]).

Crossbows use Arrows as ammunition, which can be found on any General Goods Vendors.

Draenei Hunters start with the Crossbow skill. All other hunters, Rogues and Warriors can learn the Crossbow skill from some trainers (see weapon trainers for details).

Quiver

You can store arrows in quivers or in the inventory. However, if you keep them in the quiver, the amount sums up from the same type, so you do not have to care about reloading, when one arrow pack (200 arrows) depletes. One quiver takes up one bag slot.

Also, quivers tend to provide bonuses to ranged attack speed. Classes other then hunters do not benefit from this because they cannot use Auto Shot; although the cooldown on Shoot Crossbow is reduced, it's really pointless as most non-hunters only shoot one arrow to pull.
