Bow without a string? Enough is enough!

It’s disappointing that you can craft a bow with only 2 items.

All recipes in the game aim to match real-world counterparts.
A sword has a handle, blade, and guard.
A shield has a boss, main material, and covering.
A bow has only two parts, or even one: main material + composite, or composite + composite.

But what about the critical component that actually transfers energy from the bow's limbs to the arrow?
How about adding a bowstring?

Below is a table that shows approximate values and effects for materials.

As you can see, you still can:
  • Craft the same bows with low skills (at least using quality leather).
  • There is now more room to master bowcraft with higher-quality materials required.
  • You can still make a bow with literally anything, if you’re just using it to taunt risars, etc.
