Level up Boyer. Its random so grab 2 or 3 if you can.

As far as I remember, the chance to proc the masterwork bow event starts as soon as you boyer hits level 6. From there it is only a matter of time. If you want to speed up the process you could save on the worldmap before an event triggers and then reload a few times until you get the boyer event. But be warned, as usual in BB, making a bow can go horribly wrong ^^

Huh, is it still after level 6 or am I just incredibly unlucky. My guy simply does not want to create a masterowork...

I had 4 boyers all at 11lv for 300 days and 2 for 500 days and I don't get it.
All I get was a wonky bow.

Huh, that is even worse. And I thought my 70 day streak was bad...

I mean we are the captain. If we slap the bowyers each and every day with a piece of quality wood, won't that increase the odds?

The bowyer and his masterwork bow are the greatest trap character in the game. There are so many other proffessions that make better battle bros, even at his unit type level. I hope the devs kep it as it is, since it is one of the best lessons in the game.

Is there a chance for him building a bow if placed in reserve? Or does he have to be an active battle brother.

As for the "lesson" there is not so much. He just has a nice event. In regards to making a decent archer he is pretty okay. The bow is just the icing on the cake.

Thing is, the events were poorly chanced even before the update... Now that there is so many more events, it is close to impossible to get the right one...

Thus I hope they raise the chance to get the wolf armor (and possible upgrade it somehow, as it is my favorit armor), as well as the bow event (wonky or not)... it is something that makes the game enjoyable when you know the recipie but is in a waiting position.

They could also just make it so events happen at the very least, every 4 days, with a chance for it to trigger every other day, that way they could make half the game more dynamic.

I got 2 wolf armors without even trying for the second one. I just killed some direwolfs and before I made it back to town he made a second wolf armor.

decent armor for your back liners I guess. if you want to terrorize some brigands with some melee

more of a kill people sort of player myself, but once things break they are usually good as dead.

Orcs are surprisingly cowardly, particularly the warriors.

we are talking about the 100 HP armor with -9 fatigue and 5 resolve damage on melee hit?

but yeah I gave up on the masterwork bow, and just purchased a unique warbow from the fletchers.

I had a bit of luck on some of my playthroughs at one point my bowmaker came up right after the level up to 6 and succeded instantly :)

I just hit day 90, bowyer with me and starting since day 10. He finally got the event and gave me a wonky bow...

Day 33 on Veteran. Just got it a day or two ago in game. Make sure you have the wood in your inventory. I walked around with one thing of fine wood. (Or whatever it's called)
