Three Shot Bow
Weapon · WeaponBow0★An upgraded bow that looses three arrows in one shot, yet through some quirk of its build only a single Arrow is spent per firing.
Three Shot Bow is an early bow: 24th of 25 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 40 against the 24,000 of Mechanical Bow.
Nothing is crafted from it — it is an end product, so anything you make is meant to be used rather than banked as a component.
Details
It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot.

Where to Find Three Shot Bow
Three Shot Bow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Using Three Shot Bow Well
Work out the trade against the Old Bow in damage per arrow spent, not damage per hit. The Old Bow puts 65 into one target for one Arrow; this one puts 40 into each of three, and still bills you a single Arrow. Two of the three connecting is already 80, so the volley only has to half-land to come out ahead, and a clean one is 120 — nearly double the Old Bow off the same ammo. The discount applies to the elemental arrows as well: a single Fire Arrow or Poison Arrow leaves your inventory and three of them fly.
Its three rounds are the cheap end of the ammo tree, and the same stack feeds every crossbow you build later. The bows above it share none of it: Compound Bow runs on Reinforced Arrow and Advanced Bow on Advanced Arrow, each its own crafting line. So the Three Shot Bow is the last point on the ranged ladder where your ammo is still 2 Wood and 2 Stone for a batch of ten.
The catch is the 40. Against anything you can only clip once — a small target at range, a Pal breaking past you — the Old Bow's single 65 hits harder than one arrow out of three, so the Three Shot Bow wants targets big enough or close enough to eat the whole volley. It also carries 250 durability against the Old Bow's 150, which is 100 extra shots between repairs, paid for with 2 more weight.
Ammunition Three Shot Bow Uses
Three Shot Bow takes 3 kinds of ammunition — Arrow, Fire Arrow, Poison Arrow — so the damage you actually deal depends as much on what you loaded as on the weapon itself.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2 |
 Fire Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2, Flame Organ ×1 |
 Poison Arrow | ×10 | Wood ×2, Stone ×2, Venom Gland ×1 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
Recurve Bow matches it exactly at 40 attack — those two differ in what they resist and what they weigh, not in raw attack, so picking between them is a swap rather than an upgrade. The next real step is Poison Bow at 65; below it is Five Shot Bow at 30.
