Breaching Bow is a heavy Ranger bow made to punch through armour, and it stacks piercing damage with both crit chance and crit damage. Its piercing upgrades come three times over, so every arrow hits hard before a critical strike even lands. The crit pair then turns well aimed shots into large spikes of damage. Archers who pick off tough targets with steady, precise fire get the most from it. Dexterity lifts its armour-breaking arrows, and rings that add crit chance feed its crit damage. A Legendary copy drops from the heavy Drak brute that guards a Drak'Dal Camp in the Cinder's Cradle. Celestium, String, Conifer Logs and Ectoplasm Aggregate let the Hunter craft a Rare copy as well. Both routes make it a bow for the final stretch of the journey through Embervale.
Damage By Level
Base damage grows with item level and with rarity. The table shows the base damage before perks and gems. Each perk adds its own bonus on top.
| Level | Common | Uncommon | Rare | Epic | Legendary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 16 | 18 |
| 10 | 23 | 26 | 29 | 38 | 41 |
| 20 | 38 | 42 | 48 | 62 | 68 |
| 30 | 54 | 59 | 67 | 86 | 94 |
| 40 | 68 | 75 | 86 | 110 | 121 |
| 50 | 84 | 92 | 104 | 134 | 147 |
Enhancements by Level
Each upgrade at the Hunter raises a copy by one level and unlocks the next enhancement. The levels count from the copy's own level, so a level 9 copy unlocks them at levels 10 to 14. This weapon takes up to five upgrades. Every upgrade of one copy costs the same number of Runes. On a legendary copy, the fourth and fifth upgrades also take Legendary Runes. The costs are for a level 50 copy. Other copies cost more or less by level, as the second table shows.
| Upgrade | Unlocks At | Enhancement | Effect | Runes | Legendary Runes | NPC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Level +1 | Piercing Damage | Adds Piercing Damage equal to 10% of base damage | 850 | - | Hunter |
| 2 | Level +2 | Critical Strike Damage | +24% Critical Strike Damage | 850 | - | Hunter |
| 3 | Level +3 | Piercing Damage | Adds Piercing Damage equal to 10% of base damage | 850 | - | Hunter |
| 4 | Level +4 | Critical Strike Chance | +7% Critical Strike Chance | 850 | 106 | Hunter |
| 5 | Level +5 | Piercing Damage | Adds Piercing Damage equal to 10% of base damage | 850 | 106 | Hunter |
| Total | - | - | - | 4,250 | 212 | Hunter |
The rune cost depends only on the copy's level. This table shows the price of one upgrade and of every upgrade the copy can take, level by level.
| Level | Upgrades | Runes per Upgrade | Total Runes | Total Legendary Runes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 46 | 230 | 12 |
| 10 | 5 | 130 | 650 | 32 |

Lore
This bow is made to break through everything. Flesh, scales and borders all give way before it. Nothing can withstand its might. The Hunter builds it around Celestium, the metal that formed where meteorites struck Cinder's Cradle. That makes it one of the late bows of the game, made for the last region.
