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. | |||
