Branch Bow

Branch Bow is the second Wood-tier bow in Everwind, a more refined version of the Stick Bow made from a properly selected and shaped branch with improved cordage tension. Crafted at the Carpenter Station, it offers better damage and accuracy compared to the Stick Bow while still using Wooden Arrows as its primary ammunition type. It represents the upper limit of Wood-tier ranged combat before metal-reinforced bows become available.

Branch Bow requires no skill unlock and provides one rune slot for customization. Acceleration rune can help push the draw speed to more comfortable levels for sustained ranged engagements. Its improved damage over Stick Bow makes it a worthwhile upgrade for dedicated archer builds before reaching the ScrapSteamer and Copper-tier bow options. Upgrade Station enhancement to +10 is available and provides a longer viable window before switching to metal-reinforced bows.

Branch Bow is best suited to early-game encounters where maintaining distance from enemies is the primary tactical goal. Copper Arrows become compatible with higher-tier bows, unlocking better arrow damage as the progression continues. Players who specialize in ranged combat should prioritize unlocking the Advanced Bows skill to access the Scrap Steamer Metal Bow and then the Copper Reinforced Bow, which represent the true mid-game ranged options.
