Forging Bows and Stats [Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia]

Forging Bows: Bows and their Stats

Forging Bows can be quite difficult. Either, it’s because you don’t have the marks to back it up or the main weapon itself. Because of this, forging Bows can be quite a chore. Some Bows serve their purpose. Others, barely deal damage and aren’t even worth the marks spent. Thus before forging Bows, make sure you check the guide to see if the Bows are worth it.

Reminders:

When raising the Stars Rank of a Weapon, the Silver/ Gold Mark requirements are cumulative. In other words, if you plan to raise a 0 Star Iron Bow to a 5 Star, you would need a total of 200 Silver Marks. Do not confuse this with the Stat improvements as the latter is not cumulative.

Disclaimer: Most of the stats found here can also be found at serenesforest.net. Visit their site for more information on other Fire Emblem games. Some might happen to be rough translations, we will be updating it when the game comes out.
