Notes

Made from Great Mattekar Horns, Ravener Guts and Large Lugian Sinews.
A bow 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 results in a modifier of +90% instead of +110%
Using Small Lugian Sinews instead of Large Lugian Sinews results in speed 40 instead of speed 35.
Using an Undead Thighbone for the Bone Handle (Bone Handle (Medium)) results in different spells, lower modifiers and lower difficulties.
Using a Dark Revenant Thighbone for the Bone Handle(Bone Handle (High) results in higher level spells and higher modifiers and difficulties.
The Handle of an existing Composite bow can be upgraded.
In the Come What Follows event (September 2006) three new handles were introduced. The handles can be applied to any Composite Bow or Composite Crossbow. It is highly recommended to use the best Composite Bow possible for these handles. The bow does not need an existing handle to be upgraded. The new handles can be found in the Ancient Caves, Deeper Caves, and Deepest Caves.
