Bows have two types of range, arc range and maximum range. The former varies from bow to bow and is directly proportional to the bow's firing velocity. Arrows fired from a low velocity bow will come down in an arc earlier than arrows fired from a high velocity bow. To compensate for this shorter range, low velocity bows must be angled higher to hit targets at range. 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. 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. 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. 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. The velocity at which a bow shoots an arrow is inversely proportional to the bow's fire rate. In other words, the greater the fire rate of the bow, the lower the velocity. Sometimes, if the bow has the Paralyze effect, the target may not take any damage and will only be paralyzed. Even if the arrow missed the target, they may still be paralyzed.

Crafted items no longer have higher level requirements than their rare equivalents (was +10 with an additional +3 per affix, up to +22) 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. 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. If the bug is still occurring, please post the bug report with the appropriate system template 360 / XB1 , PS3 / PS4 , PC / MAC , NX / PS5 , XS , depending on which platform(s) the bug has been encountered on. 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.

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. Fortify Marksman potions can be created or bought from merchants to temporarily increase the Archery skill tree. Now that you have filled the crafting area with the correct pattern, the bow will appear in the box to the right.Would be neat if you could craft bows and arrows from a profession. Engineering makes the most sense, and Leatherworking also kinda works, although a new Woodworking profession would be cool.

The damage of a bow varies from bow to bow, with the Long Bow being the weakest and Dragonbone ( Dawnguard only) being the strongest. Every bow's damage is governed by perks and the level of the Archery skill, but there are multiple other ways to increase a bow's damage. The recipe for each craft includes a jewel and a magic/rare base item as well as the runes/gems shown below. Crafting recipes are no longer limited to specific item bases (such as Helm/Casque/Armet for Blood Helms) 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. 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.

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. This section contains bugs related to Bows (Skyrim). Before adding a bug to this list, consider the following: 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). For an arrow, the basic components are a shaft made of wood and an arrowhead typically made from stone. 1 Simple Wood for the shaft and 1 Copper Bar for the arrowhead to make 200 Crafted Light Arrows is fine and comparable to Crafted Light Shot.

Sometimes, when an arrow is shot, the arrow takes a couple of seconds to actually shoot after the animation shows it being "fired." Bows were formerly held in the player's right hand, implying that they were left-handed archers. This has been changed since the Evolution of Combatupdate. However, it also caused bows to be incorrectly held like two-handed crossbows when in combat stance (but not actively shooting). This has been fixed. When RuneScape 2 was released, bows had no visible bowstrings. Jagex fixed this with the RuneScape HD update. 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.Note that merchants sell magic items that have an ilvl of clvl+5 and gambled items have an ilvl between clvl-5 and clvl+4. As an example of when this is useful, consider that a level 88 character can gamble an ilvl 92 amulet and use it to craft an ilvl 90 amulet, which is the minimum ilvl needed for a chance to get +2 class skills as an additional affix.
