| Palm Wood Bow | 10 × Palm Wood | Work Bench |
Coastal palm timber and desert margin archery
Crafted using 10 Palm Wood at a Work Bench. Players obtain palm wood by felling palm trees in the Ocean or Oasis biomes. Delivering 6 base ranged damage with Average velocity and a 29 firing duration, it serves as an accessible starter ranged tool. It launches standard arrows effectively, allowing players exploring beach shores or desert borders to keep vultures and crabs at a safe distance.
Biome bow balancing and strategic ammunition choices
Statistically, this weapon is identical to the standard wooden bow and Boreal Wood Bow. While it does not offer the superior striking power of evil-biome bows, its ammunition can be upgraded with Flaming Arrow or Frostburn Arrow to boost damage output against early monsters. Players will want to transition to a Silver Bow or higher before taking on bosses. Unreal is its top modifier, maximizing damage, velocity, and critical hits.
Trivia
- Palm Wood trees can grow on sand blocks in both desert oasis areas and ocean shores.
- The bow shares identical crafting costs with all other regional wooden bow variants.
