No Bow drops at all!! - level 11 now
Andulin
✭
Hi guys I play a bow/dual wield dunmer. Level 11 now, and except for the newbie bow from Coldharbour "sentinel's leash" I haven't gotten ANY bow drops from anything! Is there something wrong - or is this the way it's supposed to be?
I am getting a lot of two handed weapons, though.. not much use to me. thanks

✭From what I've seen bow drops are far less common than other weapons. However I did get a purple bow from a level 20+ dungeon boss last week.Edited by Weberda on April 23, 2014 6:11PMFernwood, EP Haderus NA

Krell✭Early on, crafting can be a great way to keep your equipment up-to-date if you're a bit unlucky with drops.
You don't need to invest any points in Woodworking to craft yourself a better maple bow. Just harvest some maple trees out in the world and hit a woodworking station in town.3 -

✭✭You can either craft them or find them on mobs. There are also quests that hand out bows.0 -

Early on? Hell, I'm VR2 and I still craft all of my own gear. Lol

stylernaku✭✭✭I have had plenty of Bow drops on most of my characters on all levels, calm your boots. You'll get one.0

Slash8915✭✭✭✭✭I tend to see staff drops more than anything, tbh. Probably because there are two types of staves.VR12 Templar Tank

Andulin✭thx.. i guess ill have to wait but it's been so long already.. i havent played an mmo since ultima online. it is just weird to me when i kill, say, a skeleton archer, and i dont get a bow.0

KingRebz✭✭✭and thats one of the major features of elder scrolls..you get everything from a drop..not random stuff like in ESO..V14 Sorceror [Ebonheart]0 -
Gedalya✭✭✭✭✭I have received a good number of bow drops; I haven't noticed any weapon being dropped less than another.0 -
Shimond✭✭✭✭thx.. i guess ill have to wait but it's been so long already.. i havent played an mmo since ultima online. it is just weird to me when i kill, say, a skeleton archer, and i dont get a bow.
Well that explains your expectation. I don't know if any MMO since actually had all the equipment the mobs use drop with them.0 -
JunkyardWolf✭✭Granted they don't drop as much as other type weapons, but why would they a bow is a bow. but here are numerous types of one hand and 2 hand weapons, just one hand you can have a sword ,axe ,mace, dagger. So I would expect them to drop more. That being said I have received a few bows for my bow user. enough that it has not been an issue.1

mutharex✭✭✭✭✭I don't use bows or staves and that's about 70% of my weapons loot/locked chests... Murphy, how I hate you0
-
Zooce✭✭✭Either craft them - which is easy and fun, or buy them from crafters - this is an MMO with people who specialise in crafting!1 -
Andulin✭
this is what i am talking about. they tamed MMOs so much that killing a player and looting them seems like a bizarre idea...
(while in reality, as well as other elder scrolls games, early mmos.. it totally makes sense!)0 -
Saihung423✭✭✭It's funny, with my archer I get like...no bow drops. With my other characters I have gotten bows dropping galore, mostly around ninth level.0 -
Playing Dominion there's a number of bows that I can remember getting from quest rewards prior to level 15. I don't find many as drops, but I always seem to have a decent one.0
-
Elvent✭✭✭✭Craft one, they're so easy to makes besides the traits/chants but you're only low level it's not like they're going to matter a lot to where you can't kill anything, sure they help some but meh
Just gather a few pieces of wood, buy your racial trait then create, so easy.Edited by Elvent on April 23, 2014 10:30PM0 -
cabbageub17_ESO✭✭✭Ummm ... buy one from an arms dealer. If you don't craft then you are selling all your drops and should have plenty of $0
-
FlameStar✭✭✭Check chests as well. At least I've been finding around three green or above bows per zone so far from chests... and the occasional one from a quest.0

Branbran✭✭Don't forget that there are also NPC vendors selling gear around the cities. No need to craft while leveling if you don't want to but you do need gold.Winter-Time
by Robert Louis StevensonLate lies the wintry sun a-bed,
A frosty, fiery sleepy-head;
Blinks but an hour or two; and then,
A blood-red orange, sets again.
Before the stars have left the skies,
At morning in the dark I rise;
And shivering in my nakedness,
By the cold candle, bathe and dress.
Close by the jolly fire I sit
To warm my frozen bones a bit;
Or with a reindeer-sled, explore
The colder countries round the door.
When to go out, my nurse doth wrap
Me in my comforter and cap;
The cold wind burns my face, and blows
Its frosty pepper up my nose.
Black are my steps on silver sod;
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;
And tree and house, and hill and lake,
Are frosted like a wedding cake.0
