Description
Small bow made to fire arrows over great distances.
Other than
its ability to fire off arrows in rapid succession, it is also
well-suited for use on horseback.
To use a bow, arrows must also be equipped.
Notes
Starting Equipment for the Bandit Class. Can be bought from the Nomadic Merchant for 600 Runes. He is located south-east of Coastal CaveGrace. Chance to drop from bow-wielding Marionette Soldiers Weapon Skill: Barrage. This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War.
Can't be buffed by Magic or Consumables
The Shortbow can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones. The earliest and likely easiest light bow to obtain, this weapon is a great early-game ranged option before acquiring a better bow. One advantage this has over something like the longbow is that you can fire arrows easily while galloping. Very useful for hunting animals. Sell Value: 100 Runes
Base drop rate is 2 (at 100 Discovery). NOTE: the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
