Where to find

Notes

  • The Improved Critical effect applies to all attacks made while this bow is equipped, not just attacks with the bow itself. As such, it can stack with melee weapons such as Bloodthirst which have a similar effect.
  • The Keen Attack effect adds the wielder's proficiency bonus to the attack roll, even if the character is not proficient with longbows.
