Its "deadly at ranges up to 30 feet", so I'd say increase the damage to 1d6 within 30'. I'd also increase the threat range by 1 to 18-20. It has 2 quarrels. They may be fired 1 at a time normally. Or both may be fired at a single target with a -2 penalty using a single to-hit roll as a standard action. Reloading is a standard action. Keep in mind these suggestions are for making the crossbow what it is, a non-magical legendary weapon that is probably the finest crossbow of any kind in the world. I certainly wouldn't use these suggestions as a template for "normal" weapons development.
