Ballistas

Obtaining

• Ballistas are for sale in the lobby shop for LOTR Mod coins.

• Placed ballistas can also be mined, which will drop the ballista spawn item.

Placing

• Right-click a block using the ballista item - there must be a 7x6x3 clear space.

• There must also be solid ground underneath the wheels.

• The ballista will face in the direction you are facing when placing it.

Using

• Draw the ballista by right-clicking the lever at the back of the ballista.

• You can then load the ballista by right-clicking its weapon rack with a ballista bolt (crafting recipe).

• To control a ballista, sit in the stair at the front of the machine.

• You can fire by right-clicking while holding a ballista trigger (crafting recipe).

Bolts

• Ballista bolts will deal high damage.

• They will also fire with a high velocity, so the gradual 'drop' of the bolt while it's in the air will be minimal.

• Bolts will not deal damage to players wearing full Galvorn armour.

• Like arrows, ballista bolts which don't hit a target and hit a block instead can be picked up by any player.

Durability

• A new ballista will have 64 durability - the durability will drop by 1 every time you fire.

• When the durability hits 0 the ballista will self-destruct.

• Ballistas outside banner protection can be destroyed by explosion damage, as well as catapult rocks.

• Ballistas inside banner protection can suffer the same fate only during official sieges, from catapult rocks.
