Manticore Bow
Manticore Bow is weapon 30 of 35 for the Archer, and it drops in Temple of Arnil, Gray Aida, Old Kethotum.
Lore
The Manticore Bow was built from the horn and sinew of manticores, the spiny-tailed beasts that prowled the southern ruins. Hunting them took weeks, and the archers who succeeded said the bow kept a little of the beast's fury.
It serves the Archer who already faces monsters from the most ravaged lands. It drops from the guardian of the Temple of Arnil and appears among the gray trees of Gray Aida and the crimson beasts of Old Kethotum.

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.
