Notes

• During the Come What Follows event, a Composite Weapons Upgrade quest was introduced.
• During the Corrupted Sovereigns event, a Composite Atlatl was added.
  • Havala's Composite Atlatl Manual
• The above write up is for the best possible Composite Bows and Xbows which are made from Great Mattekar Horns, Ravener Guts, Large Lugian Sinews, and a Dark Revenant Thighbone.
  • A bow or xbow made from Fire Auroch Horns is white instead of orange, and adds +2 melee instead of +6
  • Using Sclavus Tongues instead of Ravener Guts for the string (Fine Oiled String) results in a modifier of +90% instead of +110% for bows, and +120% instead of +140% for xbows (for weapons without the handle),
  • Using Small Lugian Sinews instead of Large Lugian Sinews results in speed 40 instead of speed 35 for bows, and speed 120 instead of speed 90 for xbows.
  • Using an Undead Thighbone for the Bone Handle results in different spells, lower modifiers and lower difficulties.
