Despite being a staple class of weaponry in the fantasy realm, bows are not very popular in Swords & Potions, as they are requested by only three classes: Archer, Barbarian, and Berserker. As a result, there is somewhat less variety of bows in the game compared to some of the other classes of weaponry.
Bows are almost exclusively crafted by the carpenter (a couple require help from other classes as well), which means that you'll probably find yourself with a large stockpile of them made by your carpenter when he has nothing else to do. Fortunately, the composite bow has one of the highest prices of any single-class, non-token, non-rare material recipes; however, because of the relatively slow demand, you'll have difficulty selling nearly as many as you make.
The following table shows the properties of all bows in Swords & Potions. Token recipes are indicated by blue shading.
