(The boy was 13. I think it's looking too much into things to say Anduin was sexually attracted to Aerin.)

'''Crossbows''' are long-[[ranged]] [[weapons]]; a type of [[Bow]] that uses a mechanically compressed and held bowstring. They tend to fire slower than bows, but cause more [[damage]] on a hit. They are similar to [[bow]]s and [[gun]]s in use; all three use the shooting skill and related hunter skills. Character stats are applied the same way for each type, although the item stats will be different for each type.

The slow attack speed is much preferred by most hunters who specialize in [[Aimed Shot]], or a heavily Beast Mastery specced hunter (due to talents like [[Serpent's Swiftness]]).

'''Aerin''' is a female dwarf warrior who is a part of King [[Magni Bronzebeard]]’s elite guard. She served as Prince [[Anduin Wrynn]]’s bodyguard and warrior trainer during his stay in [[Ironforge]] and also became a close friend. When earthquakes started to erupt in [[Khaz Modan]], she was killed while being trapped in a collapsing tunnel. Anduin used all his strength to try to save her from underneath the rubble, his fingers were bloody and his strength diminished, crying for surrounding dwarfs and draenei to help him. He passed out, the last thing "in his minds eye" was the face of the brave warrior Aerin.
== Acquiring and Upgrading ==
 
Unlike [[Gun]]s, [[player]]s cannot craft crossbows. Crossbows must be bought, [[loot]]ed or earned from [[quest]]s. The availability of crossbows is more limited than the availability of bows and guns in WoW. Draenei Hunters may want bow or gun training as soon as they can get it to remedy this lack of availability.

A crossbow may be enhanced by installing an engineer-crafted [[scope]] on it.

[[Draenei]] [[Hunter]]s start with the Crossbow skill. All other Hunters, [[Rogues]] and [[Warriors]] can learn the Crossbow skill from some trainers (see [[Weapon master|weapon trainers]] for details). (The Rogues and Warriors then 'shoot' rather than 'throw'.)

| body = A major change coming for the hunter is the removal of ammunition. Guns, bows, and crossbows will now do damage without consuming ammunition at all. There will be no more ammo slot on the hunter’s character display. Any ammunition that a hunter has at the time of the change will become gray sellable items. Existing quivers will be converted into large bags -- though each hunter can only have one and non-hunters will not benefit from this change -- and we will not be making any additional quivers.

Aerin is a female dwarf warrior who is a part of King Magni Bronzebeard’s elite guard. She served as Prince Anduin Wrynn’s bodyguard and warrior trainer during his stay in Ironforge and also became a close friend. When earthquakes started to erupt in Khaz Modan, she was killed while being trapped in a collapsing tunnel. Anduin used all his strength to try to save her from underneath the rubble, his fingers were bloody and his strength diminished, crying for surrounding dwarfs and draenei to help him. He passed out, the last thing "in his minds eye" was the face of the brave warrior Aerin.
