The Bow is a ranged weapon used for combat when combined with Arrows.

Creation

Bow

Currently there is only one kind of bow, which is created in the crafting grid.

Arrows

The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:

• Knapping: Only flint
• Smithing (1 ingot): Iron, Bronze alloy, Copper, Gold, and Silver.

Arrowheads are used to assemble arrows in the crafting grid.
