Bow

Bows are a ranged Weapon that can either be found, or Crafted.

Metal Bows
Metal Bows can only be found in Chests in the Overworld.



Note metal bows have an extremely long draw time and are believed to not do any additional damage than wooden bows just have increased range

Wooden Bows
Wooden Bows must be crafted at the Carpentry Workshop using their respective Carpentry Page.

Once the Bow Stick has been crafted, Dried Grass can be applied at either end to be crafted into a full bow.



The Birch Bow (second) has the shortest draw time but the worst range, while the Ash Bow (fourth) has the longest draw time but the best range.

Use
Bows require Arrows to be shot, and these can be crafted.

To use the Bow, the Arrow must be nocked, and the string must be drawn.

A heavy Bow with a long draw time must use a heavy Arrow to be effective, and the opposite is true with light Bows.

Bows seem to have a minimum distance to enemies in order to do optimal damage, a player shooting at near point blank range will find himself doing very little damage.
