What you need
- A dagger (dagger), sold by bladed weaponsmiths. You carve the wood with it.
- Logs (log), sold by carpenters or cut from trees with an axe. The crossbow asks for boards (board), from carpenters and tinkers.
- For arrows, feathers (feather), sold by bowyers.
No table or workshop is needed: you work anywhere.
Carving
- Double-click the dagger: it goes to your hand and the game asks what to use it on. Choose your logs.
- The bowyer's menu opens (What do you want to carve the wood into?) with what you can make right now, the material in brackets: only what your skill allows and what you carry material for appears.
- Choose the piece. If it works, the game says «Guardas … en tu mochila» (you put … in your backpack). A finished bow tells its damage and condition when you click it.
Arrows and bolts
First the shafts: arrow shaft in the bowyer's menu, ten a log. Then double-click the shafts with feathers in your backpack: the Select arrow type menu offers the arrow (arrow) for the bow and the bolt (crossbow bolt) for the crossbow, one shaft and one feather each. They are also sold by bowyers and provisioners.
| Ammunition | Bowcraft | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Arrow | 1.0 | 1 arrow shaft and 1 feather |
| Crossbow bolt | 17.8 | 1 arrow shaft and 1 feather |
Starting from nothing
- No archetype starts with Bowcraft. A bowyer teaches you: open their shop and look at the Enseñar (Teach) tab. They teach up to 45% of what they know, and bowyers know between 65 and 88: they leave you with 29 to 39 points.
- That already makes kindling, torches, shafts, arrows, bolts and the bow (17.8). From there, carving is what raises you.
What is carved
From the lowest skill to the highest. The torch lights when you take it in your hand.
| Piece | Bowcraft | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Kindling | 0.0 | 1 log |
| Torch | 0.0 | 1 log |
| Arrow shaft | 9.8 | 1 log |
| Bow | 17.8 | 2 log |
| Crossbow | 37.8 | 7 board |
| Heavy crossbow | 57.8 | 10 log |

Silver
