World of Warcraft Tips

A weapon is a very important thing to own in World of Warcraft. You need certain weapons to be able to perform some quests and to kill other players and animals as well. One of the most common weapons that a WoW player could own is a WoW bow.

Generally speaking, a bow is a long-range weapon that uses muscle power to fire. Regardless of this fact, the strength attribute does not really have an effect on the damage that a bow could inflict in World of Warcraft. WoW bows are similar to crossbows and guns in the sense that all three use the shooting skill and the related hunter skills. Bows however must be bought or looted in order for a player to own one in WoW, unlike guns, which can be crafted.

The partner to the WoW bow is a quiver. It is a special bag that holds arrows and increases the rate of fire because it gives out a bonus. Hunters are most benefited by the quiver because they burn a lot of ammo in a short span of time and the increased firing rate is most helpful to them.
