Now that Im going to be making a long bow, first I must practice making long bows.
That said, bows arent all that different, and yesterday I got to personally take and study the form of Aya-sans bow, which is huge. I should be able to progress faster than if I were making a staff.
Anyway, I took several of the worst quality wood from the forest area closest to Faust to use for practice. The wood from the trees that grow around the Nexia area that Ill be using for the real deal is way too scarce for to take, so since I have one shot with whatever amount I have on hand, its necessary to practice to draw up the blueprint. s
First Ill do it roughly.
Of course the quality is 1 or 2, but right now my main priority is just to morize how to make the size and shape of the longbow regardless.
I intended to spend all of todays login ti hamring out this learning part, but.
After around 30 minutes of continuous crafting, quality 4, once in a while 5, began making an appearance.
With the quality becoming good, I compared it to the screenshots of Aya-sans bow from yesterday and adjusted the shape and balance.
In another 30 minutes, taking 1 hour total since I started crafting, I sohow made one longbow with quality 7.
Longbow
Atk 18
Quality 7
As expected of longbow; the firepower is already more or less there, even though its sothing made from the absolute worse material. Because of that, the largeness makes it difficult to handle, though.
Alright, lets leave that there; so I dont forget the feel, lets try and make a few more. Just when I was thinking that.
Um, are you selling that bow?
That voice called out to . When I turned my head, a male player holding a bow was there.
My bad, but this longbow was just made for practice, so its a longbow that only has Atk 18. Youd be better off buying the longbows already out on the market.
When I said that, I see, sorry for bothering you, he took his leave.
So there are people who go directly to the crafting stations to buy stuff Hoping to get a discount before it gets put out on the street stalls ?
Thinking that it doesnt matter, I shake the thoughts from my head 2, 3 tis and began production again.
Next I interpose so hard wood on hand that I havent used up from the forest area on the right and left; Im picturing the composite bow using various wood that I made in the past. This should be common throughout the bow family.
Shaving it done, polishing the joints, form it into the shape of a bow I experienced the frustration in the past, so maintaining the durability and balance is sothing that is firmly inputted into my head and hands.

Atk 26
Quality 6
Fumu, my experience in making longbows was insufficient, so improving it caused the quality to drop, huh? But, if I focus on this and get it to quality 8, then it might stack up to Atk 30, I bet. Co to think of it, its about ti to go to sleep today, so Ill continue tomorrow.
And so, the next day.
Going out to the forest and getting my hands on so wood, Im going to start by carefully working on all the fine details of the Prototype Composite Longbow I made yesterday in order to raise the quality.
I reinforced the joints, reviewed the balance, and revised the bows overall form again and again.

Atk 30
Quality 8
Alright! I make a very, very small guts! Pose. With this I can finally move on to the next step. That next step is to hollow out 2 ellipse-shaped grooves in the front of the bow.
The upper half of these elliptically-shaped grooves are so I can attack 2 pieces of Light tal by embedding where it joins in, so even without encasing the bow, I can make use of Light tals stretching.
Of course the amount compared to wrapping it is less so the effectiveness will probably fall, but I will do the best I can with the amount of Light tal I have.
After texturing the grooves, in order to manufacture Light tal to et the depth and length of the grooves, and to test the union of the two, I head over to the Forge and toss in my last Light tal ingot I have into the forge to soften it.
There I pour it into a mold; it was made so the bottom is the ellipse, the top is flat and long like a pole.
I cant afford to fail; I dont have anymore materials, after all.
After so ti I check to make sure its hardened.
Taking it out of the mold, I insert them into each of the two grooves in the composite bow I brought with .
Theres so gaps so I hamr it flush, inset it, supported the joints with steel all up and down, and spacing it out, arranged the steel to reinforce the joints, wound thin steel wires tightly around it as reinforcent, and above that made it the grip for the bow.
Prototype Composite Longbow, with Light tal Line Reinforcent
Atk 38
Quality 7, Durability Reduced.
It reached 38 in attack.
The durability reduction is because of the crudeness of the wood; it was probably unable to stand being remodeled so much, I bet.
But with the real deal being wood from around Nexia, since the words Durability Reduced didnt even appear after the unreasonableness of the X-bow, there should be no problems.
Thin black wood on the sides, the center a white-colored wood, and from the center white wood, two light blue Light tal Lines are inset vertically, and to secure that, steel is used as reinforcent; if you look from the middle of the bow, up and down to the two ends, where the bowstring is affixed is also reinforced with steel thread; thats the kind of bow it is.
Even with the necessary increased weight, compared to my X-bow its worlds lighter; like this I suppose theres no problems
Today is finishing up the bow Im actually selling. Yesterday, through trial and error, I was apple to finish the Recipe. Its just, the Light tal rods are embedded in the main wood of the prototype, so I roughly cut them out.
Using a good piece of wood that Ive left taken from around Nexia, I cut and fashion it according to the blueprint I managed to make with all the hardships up until now. The wood part is done first, and I check its condition.
Checking whether or not it has any weird sounds, whether there are gaps, and checking the bows front where the grooves the Light tal I dug out will be inlaid; in order to reduce the material degradation, I sared it with lacquer; this lacquer is sothing thats recently being sold.
With the base of the bow done, next is the arrangent of the Light tal and Steel.
After the lacquer dried, I insert the Light tal, arrange the reinforcents, and establish the Steel parts that doubled as both reinforcent and bowstring-attachnts at the bows tips.
I gilded the reinforcents with silver, finishing it to be more beautiful; though just a little bit, it eases the boorish-ness.
Like yesterday, I wound Steel thread tightly around the grip to reinforce it, and on top of that made the grip part that you would be directly touching.
The ti it took to make it was long, but finally, its done.
Composite Longbow, Light tal Line
Atk 47
Quality 7
The firepower has surpassed the lower half of the 40s. Its at a level thats more than enough for being used for the ti being. With this, Ive really used up all my Light tal and the good wood I had on hand.
It feels like its gone from 80,000 to 150,000, but it wont do to go back on what we agreed upon.
Ill be selling it tomorrow; as expected, my mind is worn out, so today lets sleep
