'''Bows vs Crossbows:'''

Bows fire more quickly than crossbows, but do less damage. Bows have always been much more popular (aside from the [[#Guided Arrow|Guided Arrow]] bug and the Buriza during v1.09), chiefly since firing quickly is such a useful and fun talent, but it's possible to play successfully with a bow or crossbow. Bows are slightly more convenient since arrow quivers hold 350 arrows, while bolt quivers hold only 250 bolts.

==Magic Arrow==

::''Far in the ancient past, Amazons found their glorious arboreal city of {{iw|Athulua Tran Athulua}} under siege by the pirates of the {{iw|Twin_Seas Twin Sea}}. These cut-throats were determined to turn the {{iw|Amazon_Islands Amazon Islands}} into their base of operations. The conflict lasted many months as the pirates laid in for a long siege. During the battle, supplies ran short, and the Amazon archers found themselves without ammunition. Realizing that their defense rested solely upon the ability of the archers to keep the corsairs at bay, the priests of the city prayed to {{iw|Athulua Athulua}} to aid them. In answer, Athula infused the minds of the Amazons with the power to harness their natural spiritual energies. One by one the archers melded their determination and will into shards of physical force that they then unleashed from their bows by the thousands, firmly routing the corsairs back to sea.

==Fire Arrow==

::'' {{iw|Hefaetrus Hefaetrus}} is the Amazonian god of fire and rebirth who lives deep within the great volcano, Mount Arnazeus, on the island of Philios. Although primarily the patron deity of farmers, from time to time he bestows his favors upon the warriors of the Islands, so they may keep safe his congregation. Through proper prayer and the sacrifice of many fierce enemies, an especially brave Amazon can attain the power to imbue her shots with the destructive power of fire, allowing her to rake blazing missiles from her bow.

==Cold Arrow==

::'' Although winter never seems to find its way to the ever-balmy {{iw|Amazon_Islands Amazon Islands}}, cold climates are not unheard of. The summit of Mount Karcheus on the island of Philios is covered with snow all year long. Deep within an icy cave secluded amongst its towering peaks, is the Great Hall of Mirrors where mighty {{iw|Karcheus Karcheus}} the Watcher sits upon his throne. Ever vigilant, Karcheus keeps watch over the people of the Amazons. Warriors who have trained within his temple are able to instill their shots with the power of a freezing wind.
