Title: Best horseback capable bow and where to get it?
Post by: Weizen1988 on October 01, 2017, 01:46:58 PM
Im playing horse archer, wondering what the best bow was for horseback and where to get it. Since we dont have item menu anymore, I cant go check what is available, wondering if someone else knows?

The War Bow is still the best in the game. Randomly drops from Bandits in Westeros.

War Bow = Masterwork Hunting Bow
Masterwork War Bow = Unstoppable!

If all thats between me and that is some bandits, westeros is going to have a dramatic reduction in crimes against the smallfolk. Decent armor seems to have rendered me invulnerable to anything but lords. Any old bandits or a particular type? or is there one just called "Bandit"?

The ones specifically called "Bandits" with Bandit Leader in party.

Alright then, once I finish my service in essos Im off to murder bandits. Sorta funny that the best bow isnt from a proper troop, but a random bandit. Suppose horse archer isnt the most knightly troop, which seems to be what the kingdoms all went for though.

I think the War Bow is one that isn't necessarily meant to be in the game, as it's only 4 damage less than the Masterwork Long Bow when upgraded to the same degree, but has a 18 higher speed rating and a 99 accuracy rating.

Based on that, yeah probably not intended to be there. Ive found like one party of them so far, are they from a particular area of westeros or just kinda all over? I found one up in the North.

I tend to find them between Riverlands & North, but they can be all over. If you want more frequent but smaller groups head down to between The Reach & Dorne.

Cool I didn't use to play as horse archer but it's really fun. Time for some crime fighting in Westeros.

I found one finally the other day, its way deadly. not at my gaming pc but it was 40something damage piercing I believe. It drops most anything real quick, didnt get to try it on wights or wight giants yet, which are so far the strongest things ive had to deal with, but that was more just lack of preparedness to deal with something that can down you in one hit through lordly great helm, lordly plate armor, lordly steel boots, lordly plate gloves and reinforced tower shield.
