Hello! I am Edrige Valling, the renowned archer. I would be pleased to answer any questions you have about Bows or how they're made.
Find out more about the bowstring
In general, bows are made with twisted Flax String. I spend a lot of time making my bowstrings, they're particularly robust, but flexible at the same time.
If you're looking for Flax String for your bows, I'm afraid I'm very busy and can't exchange any with you. You can go to any other bow maker around here and they will be able to help you.

Find out more about the woods used to make bows
Any kind of wood can be used to make a bow. Some woods are better than others, though, and it's not at all surprising that a bow made of Ash Wood is less efficient than a bow made of Yew Tree Wood. The most efficient bows are in general composed of several types of wood, but these are both harder to make and harder to find materials for. Let's just say, you have to have some friends in the Lumberjack trade to get anything done.

Bows with magic powers are rare and tricky to make, you often need to combine rare woods with precious metals and stones to make a bow that will be both magical and deadly.

Find out how to improve Agility
If you don't want to practise, you can always use scrolls. I collect Nimble Rings. Bring me a hundred or so of them and I will give you a Little Parchment of Agility.

Ask how to go upstairs
Bernado Pull rents a room up there for himself and his Dopples. He's often looking for someone to fight with them, go up and ask him about it if you're feeling brave.
