Its accuracy is poor, its speed very fast, and it causes average damage. It weighs three pounds.
The Elven shortbow's standout feature is its very fast firing speed — it fires more shots per round than other bows, compensating for its poor accuracy rating. At only three pounds, it is light enough to carry alongside a full equipment loadout. Compatible ammunition includes ash arrows and war arrows. The Orkish shortbow has identical stats.
