Elven Bow Location

Plain copies appear from level 19 and enchanted ones from level 20. Blacksmiths and general goods merchants sell them, and enemies carry them. Chests and other random loot hold copies too. Redoran Guards in Raven Rock carry Elven weapons as well.

Smithing Guide

Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.

Crafting

An Elven Bow is made at a forge with the Elven Smithing perk.

Material	Image	Amount
Refined Moonstone		2
Quicksilver Ingot		1

Upgrades

An Elven Bow is improved at a grindstone with one Refined Moonstone per improvement. The Elven Smithing perk doubles the improvement, so each quality tier needs less Smithing skill. An enchanted copy can only be improved with the Arcane Blacksmith perk.

Quality	Smithing	With Perk	Damage
Fine	14	14	+1
Superior	31	22	+3
Exquisite	65	40	+5
Flawless	100	57	+7
Epic	134	74	+8 to +9
Legendary	168	91	+10

Weapon Levels

Some weapons in Skyrim are Levelled. The power of a levelled weapon is based on your charcters level when you get them. Some get stronger in both physical and magical aspects, while others only improve their enchantments. These items don't get better as your character levels up.

Elven Bow is not a leveled weapon.
