Bows are a type of equipment that give characters Ranged Damage, which in turn grants the Support Ally tactical ability in Fight and Hunting encounters.
Bows are one of the two types of equipment that occupy the Ranged Weapons equipment slot; the other are crossbows. Bows have lower Ranged Damage than crossbows, but are lighter and cheaper.
The primary and secondary materials used do not give additional attribute bonuses: all bows give Ranged Damage, and nothing else. The quality of the materials does still affect the value of the Ranged Damage bonus.
Researching bows crafting has no prerequisites, and is required to unlock crossbow crafting.
