'''Compound bows''' are missile weapons belonging to the [[Bow and Rifle]] weapon class. They use [[arrow|arrows]] as ammunition.
The compound bow is one of two bows, along with the {{favilink|turbow}}, that benefits from the user's [[strength]]. More specifically, the user's strength modifier is added to the {{PV}}[[PV]] of arrows fired from the bow, up to a certain limit.<ref><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code></ref>
When the player loads an arrow into a {{name}}, the game will display the maximum strength-modified penetration that is achievable with that arrow and the {{name}}. For example, if a steel arrow is loaded, the display will always look like the following:
[[File:Compound_bow_penetration_display_example.png]]
However, the actual PV will be '''{{PV}}4''', plus the wielder's [[Modifier|strength modifier]], up to the displayed limit. Thus, the actual PV is not shown in game.
== Mechanics ==
All arrows in the game have a base penetration value of '''{{PV}}4'''.<ref><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code> - All arrows inherit a BasePenetration of 0 from <code>BaseArrowProjectile</code>, which is displayed a {{PV}}4 in game.</ref> However, each type of arrow has a different maximum penetration, which can be achieved with the {{name}} and sufficient strength. Higher-tier arrows have a higher ''potential cap'' for strength-modified penetration.{{Code Reference|class=MissilePerformance}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=GetMissileWeaponPerformanceEvent}} The {{favilink|turbow}} is the only other [[:Category:Bows|bow]] in the game that applies the wielder's [[Modifier|strength modifier]] to arrow penetration.
Scoring a critical hit with the {{name}} will add a '''+2''' bonus to its PV. {{Code Reference|class=MissileWeapon|method=MissileHit}}

== Obtaining ==
The {{name}} does not have any guaranteed loot drop locations or creatures that wield it. It can be somewhat difficult to find for this reason. It is included only as a random loot in the [[Data:Missile#Missile 2|Missile 2]] and [[Data:Missile#Missile 3|Missile 3]] item tables.<ref><code>EncounterTables.xml</code></ref> For this reason, it is most likely to be found randomly in low-to-mid [[zone tier|tier]] zones, such as [[goatfolk village]]s, or purchased from {{favilink|dromad trader|plural}}.
It can also be [[disarmed]] from {{favilink|compound bow turret|plural}}, however this type of turret is quite rare.
== Considerations ==
{{Opinion}}
* Can be a very effective ranged weapon for high-strength characters during the early game.
* [[Missile_weapon_combat#Missile_Weapon_Accuracy|Accuracy]] is higher than other bows, giving it utility with {{favilink|boomrose arrow|plural}}.
* Not advisable for characters with low strength, because the compound bow will also ''lower'' an arrow's base PV based on strength. Other bows won't do this.
* High tier ammo is difficult to find in large supply.
