Notes

  • "Power" determines the velocity of arrows launched from the bow, which is equal to the square of the power plus a constant (which appears to be the same for all bows). Internally the game represents this as the 'point' damage for the bow.
  • While bows technically have an 'accuracy' stat, it's only used when throwing the bow itself, and not used when firing missiles from the bow.
  • More information can be found in this post.

Availability

Most bows have to be acquired by trading at the settlements of various cultures.

The longbow, shortbow, juniper bow, arrow and blunt arrow can be crafted by the player.

URW Game Encyclopedia description

The official URW in-game encyclopedia (accessed by the F1 key) describes bows and crossbows thusly:

The bow is a missile combat weapon usually made of wood and used to propel an arrow. There are different bow types and designs varying in size, shape and strength: SHORTBOW, LONGBOW, JUNIPER BOW, NORTHERN BOW and HUNTING BOW.

In addition to these regular bows, there are also crossbows which are mostly of foreign origin.

Bows used by NPCs

As of version 3.12b, NPCs such as Njerpez and foreign traders can carry bows, making them more deadly. This is not an entirely bad thing for your character though, as it is not uncommon for the NPCs to miss you entirely and shoot their "teammates". To make this happen, try to arrange the fight so that there is one of the enemy bowman's "teammates" between you and the enemy bowman. This is especially common with crossbows, as they are not too accurate and do excellent damage, often causing bleeding wounds.
