Thunderblood Bow is a Nord Bow reforged with a Thunderblood Essence. It deals 110 pierce, 45 lightning and 10 spirit, 165 damage in all, against the Nord Bow's 110. Every hit has a 25% chance to set off chain lightning, and it hits 0.2% harder for every point of health you are missing.

How to Craft

You craft it at a level 4 Black Forge from:

1x Nord Bow: made by hardening a Cast: Nord Bow with Liquid Frost in a Frost Foundry.
20x Bloodgold: smelted from Petrified Tissue in a Blast Furnace.
1x Thunderblood Essence: drops from Fallen Warriors, which you call up with three Memorial Coal at a Memorial Site.

When to Use It

This is an end game weapon. You can only progress through the Deep North once Fader is dead.

Upgrades

You can upgrade it twice at the Black Forge, and each step needs the station one level higher than the last. The first upgrade costs the per-level amount and the second costs twice that. Quality 4 would cost four times the per-level amount, but it needs a level 7 Black Forge and the forge currently tops out at level 6, so that row is not yet available.

Properties

Draw to aim. The longer you hold the draw, the more accurate, faster and harder-hitting the arrow becomes. The bow has a single attack.

Holding it lowers your movement speed by 5%.

At quality 1 it deals 110 pierce, 45 lightning and 10 spirit, 165 damage in all. That is 79% more than Root Fang and Storm Fang at quality 1, which deal 92 and are the joint hardest-hitting weapons of their kind before the Deep North. Each upgrade adds 8 pierce, 5 lightning and 5 spirit, so by quality 3 it reaches 126 pierce, 55 lightning and 20 spirit, 201 in all.

Its hits have a knockback force of 25.

It weighs 1.5 and has 400 durability, rising to 500 at quality 3.

Against Deep North creatures, pierce deals full damage to Elakings, the Eyeless One, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Hexen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose. It deals reduced damage to Barka, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Skeletons, Krigen, the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps, and Kall Fimbulbringer. Lightning deals extra damage to the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps and reduced damage to Barka and Kall Fimbulbringer. It deals full damage to the rest: Elakings, the Eyeless One, Fallen Warriors, Gammeltrolls, Deep North Greydwarves and their Shamans, Skeletons, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr and Moose. Spirit deals extra damage to Fallen Warriors and full damage to Deep North Greydwarves, Skeletons and the Shapeless and Tiny Pulps. It does nothing at all to Barka, Elakings, the Eyeless One, Gammeltrolls, the Greydwarf Shamans, Hexen, Krigen, Captive Fulings, Imprisoned Dvergr, Moose and Kall Fimbulbringer.
