Best materials? Well, I don't know what the best woods are, but plutonium is the best metal; heavy, radioactive, and rare. Lol. I've almost got enough Aucutinite or whatever that stuff is to make plutonium, so I'm going to try to make a magic crossbow if I can then sell it off to my brother. I'm perfectly content with a quality crossbow, so I don't need a magic one.
