Ranged Weapons

Bow skill

Bow is the default skill for Archers. Knights can pick it at the start. The skill can be learned later in Castle Ironfist (500), Silver Cove (625) (Berserkers' Fury guilds), Misty Islands (500) or Free Haven (625) (Duelists' Edge guilds).

Expert teachers can be found in Castle Ironfist (Helen Teal) and Frozen Highlands (Jed Morrison) (rank 4, 2000 gold)

Desmond Weller in Kriegspire teaches master bow at rank 8 for free after the Battle Mage promotion quest is completed.
