A18 - Bow parts for wooden bow? Why though?

[Snowmang]

After doing a few play throughs, my final one was going to be a sneaky archer hunter dude (cliche hence I have waited to run through like this). So I put a point in archery to unlock the wooden bow....turns out it requires bow/crossbow parts.

Based on my last 2 games where I played for 20-30 hrs total, I didn't come across a single bow/crossbow part...sooo uhhh. Not to mention you don't need specific parts to actually build a bow...just the right kind of wood. So why these parts?

You can scrap wooden bows and crossbows you find to craft your own..

I personally feel like it is a bit derpy to require bow parts for the middle tier of the bows, though. Making it require the perk is enough.

It feels like a chicken or the egg scenario lol. But thanks, hopefully I can find a bow now.

Look carefully at that bow. It has metal parts/springs to increase the force of the projectile. It does have more than just wood. That's the primitive bow that is only wood.

It sort of is; But, you can craft up to a Quality 5 bow, and can get parts from any quality of bow. So, it's entirely possible to scrap other bows to craft a better bow.

Still, feels weird to me.. I undertand making the 'steel tier' of items cost parts; but most of the 'iron tier' of items doesnt so i dont get why the wooden bow does. (Most items have 3 iterations, Stone tier, iron tier, steel tier. As an example, sledgehammers: Stone sledgehammer, iron sledgehammer, steel sledgehammer)

I agree it would be nice to be able to craft the wooden bow IF you have the first perk in archery, but for balance, I think you also would need to have use of a forge, because that wooden bow does have metal parts.

[Triggerhappy]

Sure, the use of a forge, but not parts. As it's been stated, it's the only iron-tier weapon you can't craft without parts. Was very disappointing to me too, since bow drops have always been quite uncommon on my playthroughs as well. The primitive bow is so horrid that it would be nice to build that iron bow asap without being gated by rng.

Well they removed level gates for everything just to introduce RWG gates for everything. I'm surprised that iron reinforced club doesn't require "parts". It's basically the same tier as wooden bow if you count wooden club as tier 1.

Yah, I'm none too happy about the rng gating either.
