I was curious to see if the 14x repeater could be looked at again and have the stats realigned with current heavy crossbow templates while factoring in its cost.

Monetary stats:
The riot crossbow costs 4500 scrip in the Grey Raven shop, and you can only acquire scrip from running the riot quests. Riot quests run $10 a piece (or $9 if you pay $25 more a month for premium) and each run has a cap of 600 scrip you can earn. Asking around, the average people were netting were in the 400-500 range.
| Scrip per run | Cost of quest | Item cost | Runs required | Total cost |
| 600 | $10 | 4500 scrip | 8 (rounded up from 7.5) | $80 |
| 500 | $10 | 4500 scrip | 9 | $90 |
| 400 | $10 | 4500 scrip | 12 (rounded up from 11.25) | $120 |
Tweak request:
I understand that with this being a repeater crossbow that it has an advantage over the regular crossbow due to having a 3 second "load" RT by PUSHING the crossbow in between shots. However, I do not believe that the added bonus of the repeating aspect means that it should have zero suited, especially when factoring in the range of cost for the weapon ($80-120+.) The suited should be brought up to par with crafted crossbows so they meet the current generation of DragonRealms.
