Polished Ironwood Crossbow — Ranged Weapon from the Dragons of Nightmare
Polished Ironwood Crossbow is a ranged weapon from the world Dragons of Nightmare. For a hunter it is mainly a damage engine: +24 attack power noticeably raises Auto Shot and shot damage, while stamina and nature resistance add durability. On WowX5 x5 hunting the emerald dragons is faster, so the crossbow is a realistic pre-raid goal rather than a months-long dream.

For a hunter, attack power on a ranged weapon is especially valuable: it scales both auto shots and abilities, and the slow crossbow speed suits a tight shot rotation.
◆Where to Get Polished Ironwood Crossbow
- Dragons of Nightmare — four emerald dragons at the dream portals.
- Emeriss drops the crossbow; find her portal by the spawn rotation.
- Raid: the world boss needs a full group and attention to auras and AoE.
- Drop: a few percent; raid every available portal.
On WowX5 x5 a hunter should claim the Dragons of Nightmare early: besides the crossbow they drop Nightmare Blade and other valuable loot for the whole group.
◆Who Should Use Polished Ironwood Crossbow
- Hunter — a main ranged weapon with attack power until raid options.
- Melee DPS — a stat stick in the ranged slot for stamina and AP.
