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.

Table: Bow Tier

Material Durability Material Tier Attack Power (HP) Attack Tier
Wood 300 0 3.0 0

Arrows

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

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

Arrowheads are used to assemble arrows in the crafting grid.

Table: Arrow Tier

The type of arrow used modifies the base attack power of the bow.

Arrow Variant Arrow Modifier Combined Attack Power
Flint -0.5 2.5
Copper 0.0 3.0
Tin Bronze 1.0 4.0
Bismuth Bronze 1.0 4.0
Black Bronze 1.5 4.5
Iron 2.0 6.0
Gold 1.0 4.0
Silver 1.0 4.0

Usage

The bow (and arrow) is a weapon available to players from mid stages of the game. The type of arrows used affects the damage per hit.

Combat

Attacking a mob (ranged combat): Place the bow in an active hotbar slot.

  • Charging the Bow: Press and hold right mouse button to charge the bow (nock/draw).
  • Aiming the Bow: Aim the white crosshairs at the selected target
  • Firing an Arrow: Release the mouse button to fire (loose) the arrow.

Note: The arrows do not need to be placed in a hotbar slot to be used.

Storage

Tools are items commonly used by players and are generally equipped in the hotbar.

  • Bows do not stack in inventory or when placed in containers. Up to four tools can be placed on the tool rack, a specialized wall mounted storage container.
  • Arrows stack to 64, may be carried in player inventory and stored in stationary containers.
