Description
A long slender bow that must be fired pretty far for good accuracy. It will then provide a hefty punch.
Shooting
This weapon is best used at 20 tiles range, or 80 m when looking through a spyglass. It requires a minimum range of 10 tiles. Higher skill in this weapon gives more shooting options when used. The long bow has the furthest range of hand-held weapons in game. Long bows at a long range can give very nasty wounds with a good enough bow. The maximum range seems to be 50 tiles from the target unless aided by a spyglass.
Bows must be wielded in your hands to be fired. Bows are two handed weapons, and cannot be equipped unless both hands are empty and you aren't wearing a shield.
See the archery page for more.
Notes
- Stringing with a bow string is needed to make the bow functional. Before that, examining it will say: "A long but unstringed slender bow." The bow must be unstrung in order to improve it.
- A Long bow is best made out of willow. Examining it will then say, "The willow wood used in this bow gives it good strength yet supreme flexibility."
- Longbow deals the highest damage.
