    Hello, I was surfing the Drakensang fanpages, when I come across this image of a hunter with this bow, I did not recognize this bow in any city or sets, if anyone knows, can you answer me?

    I think it's the Steam-Powered Blade Bow. Purchasable from, yours truly, the Myrdosch Artifact Merchant.
    But it could be the Power of the Alliance, dropped by normal world dungeons at difficulties above normal. But I wasn't able to find pictures of either of them, so I can't be sure.

    @gintarszb ,there is suspicion of being an edition, montage, false,because it looks like another arc from another game,note the similarities:

    but if it really fake, it was a beautiful job, and it would be a nice bow in the game.
    Because there is no such bow in the game with this design

    i disagree, i know quite a few games when weapons are that big - almost bigger than the player and in some games, even few more times bigger than player and i never really like that design of weapons.

    i cant (and dont want to) imagine my dwarf killing mobs by some piece of artillery from the world war2, just check pictures on google to see what i mean. actually now that i checked those photos, i can imagine it quite accurately :D:D but i dont think that it is something that fits into this game

    The bow is from another game.
    But you are wrong about bows in general.

    There are only 2 types of bows: shortbows and longbows.
    Longbows as the name suggests are long ... their length is roughly about the same length as the users (around 1.7 to 1.9 m). They are more powerful, they have better accuracy and velocity and are able to shoot heavier (bigger) arrows.
    Shortbows are smaller and shorter than longbows. They fire the arrows faster, they are more effective in tight space, they have a shorter range, they require less power to be used and are lighter in weight.

    Siege Bows (Hoaxbow Story) are non-existent bows. They don't exist and can't ever exist.
    All bows are 2-Handed ... but the lame devs made a false story about the so called "Siege Bows" stealing the name from other games ...
    So now we have "longbows" in the game shorter than an arm ... because they were shortbows before the devs renamed them into longbows without changing their appearance and skin.
    We have so called "Siege Bows" that are 2-handed ... when in fact all bows are 2-handed.
    The name Siege Bow is delusional ... when in fact any weapon can be part of a siege. However ... there are Siege Weapons ... like Catapult, Batista, Trebuchet , Mangonel ... etc ... which are not personal weapons but rather devices operated by 2 or more men. Artillery weapons if you like.
    So everything about the Siege Bow is a fraud and incorrect. in other words a Hoax ... therefore the name Hoaxbow.
    They can't exist in real life and they can't exist even in a fantasy game.

    Lets not forget that all bows in the game are made wrong ... they are all left-handed instead of right-handed.
    This is how one should hold a bow (in left hand):
    and this is how one should not hold a bow (in right hand)

    So yeah ... about your assumption again ... longbows are quite long. Sometimes they are taller then the users themselves. :)

    i´have read all you wrote traki... nice lesson about bows (which i didnt find any useful/srry). i have stated my opinion that i dont like weapons in games as big as player or even bigger than player. not only mine or whoever´s opinion on such thing when speaking about what you like/dislike has no right or wrong, since you are only expressing your feelings.

    rather than putting bows into the correct hand, game needs different changes.

    maybe check some competitions in archery.. with your fanciness about bows, you might quite enjoy it... ;)

    I like putting a string on two fingers and firing needles ... but it is not a bow.
    What I have said is not an opinion nor it is based on liking ... but those are the facts. I didn't make them up.
    You don't find them useful because you have never used a real weapon and probably you never will. I am a ranger, a sharpshooter ... I speak from experience and knowledge. Most powerful bows are very tall whether you like it or not ... that is the fact. You can make it very small and carry it in your pocket ... but it won't be a bow but a slingshot.

    I mean.. compound bows are pretty powerful and they are often not long at all.

    Are you comparing a historical weapon made of wood with a modern carbon fiber device with peep sight, polyethylene string, carbon fiber arrows and other fancy parts?
    Well ... how many wars have been fought with compound bows? Don't google it you won't find it. XD
    All bows were eventually replaced with firearms ... now ... you can compare the modern compound bow with a modern rifle.
    Don't do it ... it is incomparable.
    You can compare Assault Rifle with Sniper Rifle and what are their pros and cons ... since they are the actual successors of bows.

    And the point was ... bows can be very tall/big whether someone likes it or not.
