| Pearlwood Bow | 10 × Pearlwood | Work Bench |
Hallowed forest forestry and high-velocity firing
Crafted from ten logs of Pearlwood at a Work Bench. Obtained by chopping pearlwood trees in the surface Hallow during Hardmode, this bow outputs 12 base ranged damage with Very fast velocity and a 20 use duration. It shoots faster and hits harder than all surface pre-Hardmode bows, propelling arrows with flatter flight arcs across long distances to deter aggressive surface enemies.
Hardmode ranged competition and optimal prefix
Although it is the strongest wooden bow by base stats, it is unlocked only after defeating the Wall of Flesh, when players already have access to powerful pre-Hardmode weapons like Molten Fury and early Hardmode repeaters. As a result, its practical use in Hardmode combat is limited to a quick backup weapon if better gear is unavailable. For archers who reforge it, Unreal is the premier modifier, offering the highest boosts to damage, velocity, and critical strike chance.
Trivia
- Despite being a Hardmode item, the Pearlwood Bow has a standard White rarity tier.
- Pearlwood trees drop regular acorns that grow into rainbow-colored hallowed trees when planted on hallowed grass.
