The Hunting Bow is a ranged weapon used to shoot Arrow bone and Arrow fire.

A fired Arrow has ~15% chance to break upon impact, destroying the Arrow in the process. If an arrow successfully deals damage to players, animals, structures or a doodads, it will become lodged in the target. A player is then able to retrieve the lodged arrow once 10 seconds have elapsed. An Arrow that hasn't dealt any damage can be retrieved immediately.

The parabolic trajectory of the arrow allows for the Hunting Bow to shoot Arrows vertically which return near where they were fired, for a game of "Arrow Roulette".
