Many rangers choose the bow style of range weapon for its higher damage in comparison to crossbows and throwing weapons, and to fight monsters that are weak to arrows. Most bows sacrifice speed in comparison to their crossbow and thrown equivalents. The main disadvantage for bows is the fact they are two handed weapons whereas most crossbows and throwing weapons are only one handed, giving the flexibility to use them with any suitable off-hand weapon or shield. To make up for this, however, bows are able to use two-handed combat abilities that cannot be used with one-handed ranged weapons. Shieldbows are also able to use shield abilities in addition to two-handed abilities, a unique aspect which no other weapon type in the game offers besides the respective combat style defenders, high level arrows also tend to be stronger than high level bolts currently. It may not be possible to sneak fire an arrow properly. For example, when attempting to fire on a resting dragon, the arrow will fall to the ground a few feet ahead. When aiming to miss it fires normally.

Usually this means that the heavier the bow, the greater the velocity of the shot. However, there are two exceptions to this rule. In the case of Zephyr, a unique bow weighing 10 and which fires 30% faster than other Dwarven Bows, arrows fired from this bow will travel slower than even a Hunting Bow which weighs 7 . This is due to Zephyr's previously mentioned unique enchantment. Also, the Dragonbone Bow weighs 20, which is one more than the Daedric Bow, however the arrows have a lower velocity than those fired from a Daedric Bow. Given it would take world resource nodes, i think it would need to be a Gathering profession, and not secondary. There is an aspect of reward for work, and not everyone can fell trees or mill them. So I think conceptually that's justified. Starting at 5 , each additional unit of weight added to the bow subtracts another 0.0125 shots/second, so a bow weighing 6 fires 0.5375 shots/second (1.86 seconds/shot). The three fastest bows in the game in terms of draw speed share a common speed of 1.0, the fastest speed: Zephyr, from the Dawnguard quest " Lost to the Ages"; Auriel's Bow, acquired at the end of the Dawnguard quest " Touching the Sky"; and Froki's Bow, a unique long bow found in Graywinter Watch that is obtained at the end of Kyne's Sacred Trials.And I do like the Woodcrafting idea. I think it needs a bit more fleshing out, because we're talking taking up an entire primary profession slot. But it is a cool idea. As weight and quality of the bow's construction material are directly proportional, it is important to note that the better the material (i.e., Glass, or Daedric), the slower the draw speed, and thus the lower the fire rate.

When crouched and aiming downwards (i.e. off a cliffside at a target below) the arrow will appear behind the Dragonborn rather than where it should. Crafting an item creates a new rare-like item of the same type as the equipment item used in the recipe. Except for ethereal, affixes from the ingredient equipment item are not transferred to the crafted item. Effectively, a shieldbow is similar to a one-handed crossbow wielded alongside a shield, although it fires a bit slower, its damage is the same. Its damage is about 33% lower than a shortbow's. They have the unique aspect of being both a two-handed weapon and a shield at the same time, allowing for use of defensive abilities. This section contains bugs related to Bows (Skyrim). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following:The latter type of range, or maximum range, is a universal range between bows. After traveling a certain distance, somewhere around 60–65 yards, all arrows have a damage of 0. Arrows at this distance will most of the time clip through (pass through) enemies and land on the other side having done no damage. This will still cause animals and characters to become aware of the Dragonborn's presence and search for them, however this will not cause friendly characters to become hostile. Fortify Marksman potions can be created or bought from merchants to temporarily increase the Archery skill tree.

Camp fires could be changed to have stages, like a starter fire that is able to have firewood added to it to reset it's duration. I mostly envision this as high integration with a more complex and fleshed out version of Survival Crafting that is already in Turtle WoW. Crafted items no longer have higher level requirements than their rare equivalents (was +10 with an additional +3 per affix, up to +22) Be descriptive when listing the bug and fixes, but avoid having conversations in the description and/or using first-person anecdotes: such discussions belong on the appropriate forum board.

Required Materials to make a Bow

When RuneScape 2 was released, bows had no visible bowstrings. Jagex fixed this with the RuneScape HD update.
