Compound Bow
Weapon · WeaponBow0★A bow brought up to modern standards, pushing arrows with more force than the old design.
Compound Bow is 15th of 25 bows by attack, at 1,100 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
At 17 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 44,300 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.

Where to Find Compound Bow
Compound Bow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.
Every Tier of Compound Bow
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 1100 to 1650, a 1.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Compound Bow (this one) | 1100 | 400 |
| 1★ | Compound Bow | 1265 | 600 |
| 2★ | Compound Bow | 1375 | 800 |
| 3★ | Compound Bow | 1485 | 1200 |
| 4★ | Compound Bow | 1650 | 1600 |
Ammunition Compound Bow Uses
Compound Bow fires Reinforced Arrow, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
 Reinforced Arrow | ×10 | Refined Ingot ×2, Carbon Fiber ×2 |
Alternatives and Upgrades
