Old Bow

Weapon · WeaponBow0

Crude ranged weapon put together in a hurry, and the damage reflects that.

Old Bow is an early bow: 21st of 25 by attack, so treat it as a stepping stone, at 65 against the 24,000 of Mechanical Bow.

It feeds no other recipe, which makes it a terminal item: craft what you will actually carry and stop there.

It does not stack, so every spare copy costs an inventory slot.

Old Bow Crafting Recipe

Work: 2000

Crafting it takes 50 materials across 3 types, and the bottleneck is almost always the 30× requirement — line that up first and the rest follows.

Where to Find Old Bow

Old Bow is not something you find lying around — you craft it, and the recipe is below.

Every Tier of Old Bow

The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 65 to 247, a 3.8x 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.

Ammunition Old Bow Uses

Old 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.

Alternatives and Upgrades

Fire Bow matches it exactly at 65 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 Old Bow at 130; below it is Poison Bow at 65.
