I sold the longbow thinking it wasn't that great. Yeah turns out i really want it. Do i need to wait until the catacombs to get it again?

If you infuse the longbow with a poison gem and use a poison arrow, how much poison would that yield?

also normal skeletons wielding this weapon in the catacombs drop it, not just the large red-eyed ones although both drop them very rarely even with the item discovery set up.

When combined with an effective understanding of a small stairwell and indestructible environment this weapon can humble any behemoth in the game. Just buy 400 arrows, shoot and run to the stairwell, and then just use said arrows

Just started Souls 3, what arrows can I use for it or is it just the standard ones? I tried the wooden ones you can buy in firelink shrine
The longbow's weapon art can knock target's down similar to that of a great bow.
FP Cost in first table when hover over with cursor says "poisedmg.png" when we know its FP Cost. Unsure how to edit that; maybe its linked description is mislabeled?
This bow is best for killing armored and big guys, even some bosses, its Skill "Pucture" is more usefull than other bow skills, i use this instead Black Bow of Pharis becouse the skill, if you know how to use the spell hidden body + longbow is perfect for headshots and can use pucture very easly ;)
