Ash Wood Bow

Underworld timber crafting and rapid projectile discharge

Crafted at a Work Bench using ten logs of Ash Wood harvested from ash trees in The Underworld. This bow deals 10 base ranged damage at Fast velocity with a 25 attack duration. Combining a fast rate of fire with high base power, it fires standard arrows on flatter ballistic trajectories than standard surface wooden bows, helping players land consistent hits against airborne targets and approaching cave monsters.

Pre-Hardmode timber supremacy and archer reforging

Among all pre-Hardmode wooden bows, this weapon stands as the most potent, outdamaging both the Ebonwood Bow and Shadewood Bow while shooting significantly faster. Players who dare to venture into the underworld early can harvest ash wood without mining hellstone, securing a ranged weapon that rivals early metal bows like the Silver Bow. Its ideal modifier is Unreal, delivering peak bonuses to damage, velocity, and critical strike chance.

Trivia

• Ash Wood and its corresponding equipment were added in the 1.4.4 Labor of Love update.
• Despite being crafted from hellish timber, the bow does not naturally set wooden arrows aflame.
