Ascalon Bow



This bow is unique amongst the bow types. Given out solely by collectors or as a quest reward, it can have the attributes of any specific type of bow (e.g. a Longbow or Shortbow). Which it has depends upon where it is obtained from. All Ascalon Bows have the same appearance. Note: As of the upgrades of the 13th of July 2006, the type of an Ascalon bow is now included in the name.

Most quest reward Ascalon Bows also come with a weapon upgrade in the form of a bow grip. You can also add a bow string or a bow grip (which will replace an existing grip) to an Ascalon Bow. However you cannot salvage an Ascalon Bow, even if you've added a Weapon upgrade to it.

dye effects
Most colors the wooden parts of the bow. Most dye affects the bow normally, however silver dye produces a dark grey, and silver darkens dye mixes rather than brightening them.
