Enchanted Crossbow in villager trading

Enchanted Crossbow is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.

As enchanted equipment, enchanted crossbow arrives pre-enchanted, letting you skip the enchanting table and the experience levels it would normally cost. The specific enchantment and its level are decided when the trade generates.

Only the Fletcher deals in it, so any trading hall that supplies Enchanted Crossbow is built around that one profession. Because this is an enchanted item, the exact enchantment is rolled when the trade is generated, so the precise book or tool a villager offers varies from one villager to the next.

Who trades Enchanted Crossbow, and at what price

To buy Enchanted Crossbow, visit a Fletcher at the Master tier (8-22 emeralds).

Is trading Enchanted Crossbow worth it?

On the demand side, the cheapest a villager will sell enchanted crossbow for is 8-22 emeralds (the Fletcher). Stack multiple villagers offering it, or cure one for a discount, and you can pull large quantities cheaply.

How Enchanted Crossbow trading works

Every Enchanted Crossbow trade follows Minecraft's standard supply-and-demand rules. A trade can be used a limited number of times — 3 for the slot in question — before it greys out and locks until the villager restocks. A villager restocks up to twice per in-game day, but only if it can path to its job-site block and "work" there, which is why a trading hall must leave the workstation reachable.

Buying enchanted crossbow repeatedly nudges its price up: heavy demand temporarily inflates the emerald cost, and the price drifts back down over time or resets when the villager restocks. Curing the villager from zombie form, or triggering the Hero of the Village effect, applies a discount on top of that, which is the cheapest way to acquire enchanted crossbow in bulk.

One caution: the first trade you complete with a fresh villager permanently locks its current offers, including the enchanted crossbow slot at whatever price it rolled. If you are chasing a specific price, decide before you trade, because there is no re-rolling a villager once it has done business with you.

Tips for trading Enchanted Crossbow

  • Cheapest source: the Fletcher sells enchanted crossbow for 8-22 emeralds once it reaches the Master tier, the lowest emerald cost recorded for this item.
  • Re-rolling the enchantment: the enchantment on enchanted crossbow is random. Find an unemployed villager, give it the right workstation, and if the offer is wrong, break and replace the workstation before trading to reshuffle it.
  • Cure for a discount: curing a zombie villager of the relevant profession permanently slashes its prices, so enchanted crossbow can often drop to a single emerald. See how.
  • Lock the price: once you complete a trade the offer is fixed, so a cheap roll of enchanted crossbow stays cheap for that villager. Reset only happens on never-traded Novice villagers via the rolling method.
