== Creation ==

== Variants ==
===Arrows===
Currently there is only one kind of bow, having a base attack power of 3 and a durability of 150. Bow attack power is added to the attack power of whatever arrow is used to obtain the damage for a given shot.
The raw material used to create the tool head determines the crafting process required:
* Knapping: Stone arrowheads can be crafted by [[Knapping|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.  


Arrow heads are crafted via [[Crafting#Flint Knapping|knapping]] or [[Crafting#Smithing|smithing]]
Arrowheads are used to assemble arrows in the crafting grid.

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

Here is a "How to make a Bow and Arrows" tutorial by Ashantin
== 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.
 
''Note: The arrows do not need to be placed in a hotbar slot to be used.''
 
=== Crafting ===
The bow and arrows are is 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.  The [[containers#stationary container|tool rack]] is a specialized wall mounted storage container that allows players to store tools. Tool racks are made of 6 sticks in the crafting grid and once placed, can store 4 tools each. Tools are placed from an active hotbar slot and removed using the right mouse button to an empty space in the hotbar.
* Arrows stack to 64, may be carried in player inventory and stored in [[containers#stationary containers|stationary containers]].
