Bows are a type of ranged weapon in Ashes of Creation.[3] Bows are projectile-based weapons. Players crossing into the path (of an arrow in flight) may be struck.[4][5]
- Shortbows have faster, less powerful, shorter range basic attacks.[6][1]
- Holding down the basic attack will repeatedly fire the basic attack rather than performing a charged attack.[6]
- The direction that we went with the shortbow was a lot more- I almost want to say acrobatic- like you can use this a lot more freely movement. It doesn't slow you as much. It's a higher rate of fire. Basically this is the more mobile feeling, lightweight version of the longbow: So it's not quite as powerful because you're making some trade-offs here with range and attack speed.[6] – Tradd Thompson
- Longbows have slower, more powerful, longer range basic attacks.[6][1]
- Some Ranger skills require a bow to be equipped.[8]
- Bows will not require ammo. Instead the developers are considering per-use consumables/buffs that can be applied to weapons.[9]
- We are thinking about unique buffs that can be applied to your weapons that are on a per-instance basis of the attack; so, for example, you might have a quiver that you can activate on a cooldown, and that quiver might apply some type of rider effect on the basic weapon attack that you have equipped. Or, you might have some type of alchemical consumable that applies it to your melee weapon. Those I think are interesting because they add an element of horizontal gameplay, depending on the adversary you're facing or the challenge you're up against.[9] – Steven Sharif

- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[34]
Ranged weapons
A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.[17][19][15]
- Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.[17][19]
- There will be a setting to determine if the ranged weapon or main/offhand is the primary weapon to use for Q or left-mouse-button basic attacks.[17][19]
- Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons.[36] Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.[37]
- Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.[38]
- Some Ranger skills require a bow to be equipped.[8]
