The Sagittarian shortbow is the most powerful bow available in Daemonheim. With Sagittarian arrows, it has the same power as the primal 2h sword and other two-handed melee weapons. However, it is arguably much superior as it can attack at a distance. Compared to the Sagittarian longbow and hexhunter bow, the shortbow lacks armour rating and life point bonus, however the far greater damage output more than compensates for it. Even when compared with the Hexhunter bow under its passive effect, the Sagittarian shortbow is still stronger in all situations where it inflicts 30% more damage.
