Any Arbalast?

[Hassat Hunter]

The wikia only shows me PoE1 stuff.

 

While my main is covered (sword + battle axe), Eder (sabre + shield) and Sarafen (pistols), Aloth is a bit left in the dark with one unique wand and one superb.

But totally left in the cold is Xoti with a superb arbalast.

 

Considering I didn't buy any weapons (saving for the ship, and once I got it I don't really want to visit all of them randomly for stuff, no notes :/) it seems no arbalasts are actually loot drops ANYWHERE, not in the base game nor Beast of Winter.

Anyone knows where some are for sale, or a site where it does list stuff like this (or is it just hidden away on the wikia?). Thanks. And for shame Obsidian!

There IS one arbalest of note in Deadfire: Spearcaster.  It's pretty solid too.  You can buy it from Marihi, in Neketaka.

Thanks, yeah according to Wikia that's the only one in the entire game. Dammmmn, Obsidian, you hate Arbalasts. Didn't even get anything new in BoW to compensate like some other weaponry.

I once tried to build a character build around the Spearcaster and Chromoprismatic staff, it sadly did not get very far.

Spearcaster on a Geomancer can be truly insane, in my experience. Sharpshooter+Wizard (No Subclass), maxed out Dex and Perception....and spells like Swift Feet and Deleterious Alacrity, fairly insane.
