{{flavour|A curved piece of wood and string, for shooting arrows. It does good damage in combat, and a skilled user can use it to great effect.

{{crawlquote|This weapon falls into the '[[Bows]]' category. It uses [[arrow]]s as ammunition. Note that while the base damage is 3, the base damage of an arrow is added to give an overall base damage of 10.}}

'''Bows''' are two-handed ranged weapons, capable of doing only modest damage but able to be fired rapidly even at low skill levels. A skilled bowman with a large enough stack of [[arrow]]s can devastate opponents at range, but you'll likely want to upgrade this to a [[longbow]] as early as possible for a significant boost to damage with little loss of accuracy. Because wearing a [[shield]] will slow your rate of fire while using a bow, hybrid fighters should consider using powerful two-handed melee weapons. You can find enchanted bows and ammunition on [[centaur (monster)|centaurs]] throughout the game.
