Huh... my Bow of Shadows... broke?

[Jitsu]

Soo... i was going nuts with the bow of shadows, since i unlocked the perk that allowed me to draw an arrow 30% faster, and i didn't know it stacked with the bow of shadow's enchantment, so it was like a friggin machinegun of arrows (besides giving you infinite invisibility wich was already amazing enough)

Until all of the sudden............... it broke. I don't know what happened but both enchantments simply don't work anymore... O_o the description of the item still says it gives you invisibility and 30% draw speed, but it behaves as a completely normal bow. When i drop it on the ground it dosn't even glow like an enchanted item should... any idea what could have happened?

Might be like the Headsmanscleaver it has a specific amount of charges. Headsman have 2k charges and thats it.

the headsman doesn't even have an enchantment, and you can't enchant it.

Author of that CC just forgot to put the enchantment in. There is a functional special enchantment in that CC file but it's not applied to the weapon yet the weapon has "DisallowEnchanting" keyword and charges.

It's a super simple fix tho if one has xEdit and the Unofficial CC Patch fixes this aswell from what i recall.

It has or shouldn't have anything to do with charges, they are more passive bonuses not charge attack bonuses. I've been using it for 90% of my current play through and don't have the issue OP is having. It doesn't need to be re-charged.

Are you using any mods that could perhaps cause issues with bows or weapons maybe?

No, only the AE CC mods and some other quality of life ones, but none that affects weapons. As for the Thalmor Embasy, no i didn't do it yet, this is happening especifically while doing the "Chasing Echoes" quest of Dawnguard, im in the moon dial on my way to the soul cair when it suddenly stops working.

Try the good ol tactic to unglitch scripted weapon/armor effects:

Drop the bow on the floor. Save game , exit , reload the save and pick up the bow.

See if it works now.
It worked for me when some modded weapons and armors had their scripted enchantments glitched. Even worked fixing similar bug with Chinese Armor CC for Fallout 4.

So give it a shot. You got nothing to lose really.

Hm, i tried dropping it and picking it up again, but didnt think about saving and reloading before picking up, gonna give it a try tomorrow (im at work today x_x) i was also thinking i could try selling it to a vendor and buying it again, even if it costs me some gold, but will try your method first, thanks!

as for OP did you clean bow of shadows CC content with xedit? Sometimes when I use the clean version some save file have working bow of shadows, some don't for some reason. After redownloading the original version from bethesda it works fine. and heck maybe if you don't clean it perhaps redownloading the content might just be the fix of your problem.

No, none of that, don't even know what xedit is =P

SSEedit is a tool, you can find links and guides in the Pinned topics..... try "Helpful links and References" and "Skyrim SE:Player Guides and Resources"
