In-Game Description
The preferred black bow of the heroic
archer Pharis.
Has a longer range than standard bows,
but is more difficult to use. Without proper
abilities, results will be underwhelming.
Availability
100% drop by the Forest Hunter in the Darkroot Garden
General Information
When firing the bow from a zoomed in state, it is positioned horizontally on the screen instead of vertically like other bows.
The bow has the best range (65 meters) in the game, but sadly only average damage. A Long Bow will do more damage (even upgraded) than this bow because the secondary stat bonus (strength) is very low (E). This bow is designed for players with very high DEX stats only.

Key
Damage: |
The Damage stat dictates how much damage the weapon does. The Damage stats for a bow or crossbow are W / X / Y / Z:
- W is Physical Damage
- X is Magical Damage
- Y is Fire Damage
- Z is Lightning Damage
Damage is further modified by the types of arrows or bolts used.
|
Range: |
The Range determines the maximum distance an arrow or bolt can be fired. Damage will decrease proportionately with the Range stat the further the arrow/bolt travels. |
Durability: |
The durability of the weapon. The effectiveness of the weapon will severely deteriorate when the durability falls below 30%. |
Weight: |
The weight of the weapon. Note that carrying over 50% of user's Equip Weight will reduce the speed of their rolls, while going over 100% will reduce their regular speed to walking and attempts to roll or backstep will leave them momentarily stunned. |
Requirements: |
The Requirements determines how high various Stats must be in order to wield the weapon effectively. The Requirement stats for an weapon are W/X/Y/Z:
- W is the Strength required
- X is the Dexterity required
- Y is the Intelligence required
- Z is the Faith required
Wielding a weapon without the required Strength and/or Dexterity will incur a penalty to the Physical damage of the weapon, while lower-than-required Magic and/or Faith will reduce the Magic damage of the weapon.
Also keep in mind that the player character gains a 50% bonus to Strength by wielding a weapon with both hands, thus reducing the actual Strength required. For example, a character with 18 Strength can wield a Great Axe (Requires 26 Strength) properly if she holds the weapon with both hands (18 x 1.5 = 27).
|
Stat Bonuses: |
The Stat Bonuses rating indicates the level of bonus players receive based on the associated Stat when they use a weapon. This rating can be S, A, B, C, D, or E (in order from most to least bonus for the associated skill). |
