Dark Stinger Bow
Dark Stinger Bow is weapon 17 of 35 for the Archer, and it drops in Balgass' Barracks, Kalima 1, Kalima 2.
Lore
The Dark Stinger Bow has tips curved like a scorpion's sting. It was forged in the barracks of Balgass for the elite marksmen of the shadow legions, and only reached heroes' hands after the first of those armories were seized.
Now it serves the Archer who turns the horde's own weapons against it. It drops from the boss of Balgass' Barracks and from the Illusion of Kundun in Kalima 1, and it also appears among the ashen soldiers of Kalima 2.

Forging and refining
At the Blacksmith, Upgrade tab, the item goes from +0 to +6 with Jewel of Bless (PT) (always succeeds) and from +6 to +15 with Jewel of Soul (the chance drops at each level; on failure it loses 1 level, never below +6). Each + multiplies the whole piece (+15 makes it 3.23 times stronger). From +16 to +25 is the Ancestral Upgrade (PT), which burns Ancient items. In the Migrate tab, the whole + carries over to the Nightmare or Godlike version of the same item.
