Zephyr

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.

This bow was woven from the air itself by Eiolaiphi the air mage as a gift for one of the children of Uskayaw. The bow can be pulled with incredible speed, and it launches swift and true. It is also nearly indestructable, which is fortunate given that the original owner was ripped to pieces by jealous celebrants.

Desirability

Zephyr is a near-perfect ranged weapon; it is a high-enchantment longbow with a top-tier brand and extra dexterity on top. In the extended game, you may prefer a triple crossbow or a weapon of holy wrath. Otherwise, it is an excellent artefact for ranged weapon users.

Trivia

• Prior to 0.20, this was known as the bow of Krishna "Sharnga".
