Plain copies appear from level 27 and enchanted ones from level 28. Blacksmiths and general goods merchants sell them, and enemies carry them. Chests and other random loot hold copies too.
Smithing Guide
Enchanted weapons require the Arcane Blacksmith Perk to upgrade.
Crafting
A Glass Bow is made at a forge with the Glass Smithing perk.
| Material | Image | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Refined Malachite | 2 | |
| Refined Moonstone | 1 |
Upgrades
A Glass Bow is improved at a grindstone with one Refined Malachite per improvement. The Glass 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.

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.
Glass Bow is not a leveled weapon.
