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: Stone arrowheads can be crafted by knapping flint.
• Casting: Arrowheads cannot be made by casting.
• Smithing: Iron, Bronze alloy and copper arrowheads can be made by smithing, which requires 1 ingot.
  • Note: Arrowheads can also be smithed from gold and silver.

Arrowheads are used to assemble arrows in the crafting grid.

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.

Harvesting

The bow (and arrow) are not used to harvest materials.

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.

Crafting

The bow (and arrow) are not used in any current game crafting.

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.
