<!-- END QBE -->The {{name}} is a moderately accurate, mid-tier bow that requires an [[:Category:Energy Cells|energy cell]] to function. When powered, it increases the [[PV|penetration]] and damage potential of [[:Category:Arrows|arrows]]. When unpowered, it cannot be fired at all.

The {{name}} is one of two bows, along with the {{favilink|compound bow}}, 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><ref> This strength modifier is in addition to the flat '''+4''' PV automatically added by the '''turbow''' to all attacks. Technically, there is not currently a limit to the strength modifier applied by the '''turbow''', but this [https://bitbucket.org/bbucklew/cavesofqud-public-issue-tracker/issues/3067 appears to be a bug]. For now, this page describes the behavior as it appears to be intended to work.</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:Turbow_penetration_display_example.png]]
 
However, the actual PV will be '''{{PV}}8''', plus the wielder's [[Modifier|strength modifier]], up to the displayed limit. Thus, the actual PV is not shown in game.


== Mechanics ==
== Mechanics ==
Currently, all arrows in the game have a base penetration value of '''{{PV}}4'''.<ref><code>ObjectBlueprints.xml</code> - Inherited from <code>BaseArrowProjectile</code></ref> When loaded into a {{name}}, the base penetration of any arrow is increased by 4 to '''{{PV}}8'''. Higher-tier arrows have a higher ''potential cap'' for strength-modified penetration, but because the {{name}} does not allow the user's strength to be factored in to the bow's overall penetration when fired, those potentials have no effect when arrows are fired from the {{name}}.{{Code Reference|class=MissilePerformance}}{{Code Reference|namespace=XRL.World|class=GetMissileWeaponPerformanceEvent}}

Scoring a critical hit with the {{name}} will add a '''+2''' bonus to its PV. {{Code Reference|class=MissileWeapon|method=MissileHit}}

{{Opinion}}
{{Opinion}}
* Can be very useful if found early in the game, before higher-penetration weapons are available
* Can be an extremely effective ranged weapon for high-strength characters during the early game.
* Has unimpressive accuracy.
* Has the highest damage potential of any bow, exceeding the penetration and damage potential of the {{favilink|compound bow}}.
* Unlike the {{favilink|compound bow}}, does not allow the wielder's strength bonus to improve the penetration of arrow attacks.
* Has lower accuracy than the {{favilink|compound bow}}. Consider adding the [[scoped]] mod to improve accuracy.
* Does not hold up well against higher-tier enemies with substantial [[AV]].
* For characters with low strength, the {{name}} will also ''lower'' an arrow's PV based on strength (but it still benefits from its unique flat +4 PV bonus).
* High-tier ammo only scales damage, not penetration. High-tier ammo is also difficult to come by.
* With high-tier ammo, can be an effective weapon even against fairly high [[AV]] targets.
* High-tier ammo is difficult to find in large supply.
