    Just wondering, is your lv 4 bow equipped with the same type of arrow as your lv 5 bow? I've noticed if you equip different arrows it updates the stats of the bow. For example exploding arrows on a lv 4 bow will show that it's much much stronger than a lv 5 bow.

    Thank you, I would have never thought of this in a thousand years.

    Indeed this discrepancy is the result of the new bow (lv.5) showing values corresponding to stone arrows, while my lv. 4 bow was showing values for iron arrows.

     

    Curiously, the projectile velocity values still decrease with increasing craft levels. But this seems like it is done on purpose by the devs...

    Base velocity is determined by arrow type, but the bow itself gets a random modifier on it, just like with a few other stats like damage. Should you find another lvl5 quality bow be sure to compare them (by selecting one and hovering over the other).
