Advanced Bow
Weapon · WeaponBow1★A bow rebuilt around advanced technology. The arrows it sends downrange hit with enormous force.
Advanced Bow is 9th of 25 bows by attack, at 6,670 against the 24,000 of Mechanical Bow.
No recipe takes it as an ingredient. Whatever you build is the finished article, so there is no reason to hoard spares.
Details
At 25 weight each it eats carry capacity fast, so bring a mount or park a chest nearby. At 216,050 gold it is worth real money to a merchant.
Advanced Bow Crafting Recipe
Crafting it takes 109 materials across 4 types.
Where to Find Advanced Bow
The recipe is not on the Technology tree — it is locked behind a schematic you have to find first. The best single source is sea base enemy camp loot in the Sakurajima at 24.7% per container, and the table below lists every tier and where each one drops.
Every Tier of Advanced Bow
The same piece exists at 5 rarities, and the gap is not cosmetic: attack runs 5800 to 8700, a 1.5x swing. Which one you end up with is decided by the rarity of the schematic you built from, not by the recipe — so a legendary copy of this is worth more than the next item up built from a common one.
| Rarity | Item | Attack | Durability |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0★ | Advanced Bow | 5800 | 500 |
| 1★ | Advanced Bow (this one) | 6670 | 750 |
| 2★ | Advanced Bow | 7250 | 1000 |
| 3★ | Advanced Bow | 7830 | 1500 |
| 4★ | Advanced Bow | 8700 | 2000 |
Ammunition Advanced Bow Uses
Advanced Bow fires Advanced Arrow, and nothing else — running dry mid-fight is the usual way this weapon lets you down, so keep the recipe unlocked before you rely on it.
| Ammo | Yield | Craft cost |
|---|---|---|
| ×10 | Plasteel ×2, Carbon Fiber ×5 |
Schematics That Unlock Advanced Bow
The Technology tree hands you the plain Advanced Bow at level 57 for 3 Technology points, but nothing above that base version — the rarer builds are schematic-only. One schematic grants the recipe, and they are world loot — chests, boss Pals and the late-game pools — rather than anything you research. Higher-rarity copies of the same schematic raise the quality of what you end up crafting.
Fastest route. The fastest route is crates on the large oil rig, and the reason is the ladder rather than the top rung: that pool stocks every tier, so the common copies it hands you fuse upward into the one you want. Counting them, a top-tier Advanced Bow schematic works out at roughly 27 containers against the 80 the 4★ drop rate alone suggests. Spare low tiers are progress, not clutter. Schematics fuse five-to-one, so a lower tier with better odds can beat the top tier outright. Counts are containers of that source, not time.
| Schematic | Rarity | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| 1★ | Sakurajima sea base camp loot, fishing in Feybreak, Feybreak chests — best 24.7% (grade 5/6) |
