A '''Metal Bow''' is a two-handed ranged [[Weapon]] for the [[Cryoknight]] faction. They have an attack speed of 1.35 seconds and deal {{plink|Arborae|pic=Arborae damage icon|size=18px}} damage. All enemies capable of dropping combat equipment have a chance to drop Metal Bow, provided that the player has progressed through the main story to the point where they have chosen a [[Faction]], as before this point only non-faction equipment can be received.

Players who have chosen the Cryoknight faction are able to receive Metal Bows in {{Common}}, {{Uncommon}}, {{Rare}}, or {{Epic}} [[Rarity]]. Players who chose the [[Hammermage]] or [[Guardian]] factions will receive Metal Bows much less frequently, and only in {{Rare}} rarity, as these items are intended for other factions to use with the [[Infusion]] system to make {{Epic}} rarity weapons for their own faction.

Metal Bows are also able to be crafted by the [[Blacksmith]] profession, at an item level up to the Blacksmith level of the crafter. Different level ranges of Metal Bow require different variants of the materials, but they all require 3 [[Adathril Ingot]]s and 3 [[Pine Pole]]s.

==Variants==
The visual appearance of Metal Bows is dependent only on their level. Metal Bow scrafted by the Blacksmith profession use different variants of the materials for each different visual appearance of the Metal Bow.

==Combat Stats==
{{Incomplete|The exact damage ranges of weapons are still being investigated}}
All Metal Bows attack at a speed of 1.35 seconds. They all deal {{plink|Impact|pic=Impact damage icon|size=18px}} damage, with a chance to convert the damage to {{plink|Arborae|pic=Arborae damage icon|size=18px}}. The weapon strength and elemental chance of Metal Bows obey formulae with slight variation:

:<math>\text{Strength} = L + 15\times R + [0-2] </math>
:<math>\text{Chance} = [30-49]% </math>

Where
*<math>L</math> is the Item Level
*<math>R</math> is the Rarity, expressed as number of stars

There is random variation in the stats for a Metal Bow, determined by the terms <math>[0-2]</math> for the strength and <math>[30-49]</math> for the elemental chance. Generally, a weapon with a lower roll on the chance will have a higher roll for the strength.

From this formula it can be seen that each increase in Rarity of Metal Bow is equivalent to 15 additional levels. Thus Metal Bow at level 0 {{Epic}}, at level 15 {{Rare}}, at level 30 {{Uncommon}}, or at level 45 {{Common}} will all have the same minimum combat strength of '''60'''.

{{Common}} and {{Uncommon}} Javelins have 3 ammunition, whereas {{Rare}} and {{Epic}} Javelins have 4 ammunition.

The strongest possible Metal Bow is a level 500 {{Epic}} Metal Bow with a maximum strength roll, which have the following stats:
