Do the gloves of archery work with dual hand crossbows? When I equip them the damage preview doesn’t change, but it just calls out ranged weapon damage, so it seems like it should work.

Only the hand crossbow, not light or heavy crossbows.

Huh, interesting. Guess I never paid attention. I haven’t figured out the difference between bows and cross bows yet and I’m in act 3, haha.

Crossbows essentially have lower weapon proficiency requirements as more classes can use them.

Hand crossbows main advantage is they can be dual wielded and you can fire again after dashing.

Thanks! Now that I think about it I don’t think I’ve ever chosen a crossbow as a main weapon in any of the games I’ve played. It’s always the bow.
