Celestial Bow

This mod is also available for Skyrim Legendary Edition, which can be found here.

The Celestial Bow

The Celestial Bow is truly the ultimate bow.

It fires 50% faster than a regular bow and it is more powerful, which means an arrow fired from it has much greater range, velocity and a much flatter trajectory than normal arrows (very similar to firing a crossbow bolt).

The bow can also be equipped with various craftable enchanted celestial arrows.

What this mod does?

This mod will allow you to craft the following awesome items at the forge under the steel tab (needs Steel Smithing perk):

• Celestial Bow------------------------------(Very beautiful and powerful bow)
• Celestial Arrow----------------------------(Basic Arrow for the Celestial Bow)
• Celestial Arrow (Explosive Fire)---------(Exactly the same effect as Dawnguard Crossbow Explosive Fire bolt)
• Celestial Arrow (Explosive Frost)--------(Exactly the same effect as Dawnguard Crossbow Explosive Ice bolt)

• Celestial Arrow (Chaos Absorb)----------(Absorbs 25 points of health, stamina and magika from the target, upon impact)

For those players who wish to earn the bow through gameplay, rather than crafting it, it is obtainable by defeating the final Draugr Overlord boss at the Bleak Falls Barrow, Dragon Word Wall. It is in a chest at the right of the draugr platform. See the file images for a visual guide of it's location.

Enchanted Arrows

Having played much as a stealthy archer, I much prefer the bow over the crossbow. But then having played with the crossbows, I discovered that I really wanted to have a bow that could fire arrows, the way a crossbow fires bolts.

I thought it very unfair that you could obtain crossbows that have the same range as bows, but which fired bolts at supersonic speeds, and had 50% armor penetration, and exploded with extra fire, ice or shock damage!

I decided to create a bow that will fire like a modern, re-curved, high-tension, compound bow, with lighter metallic arrows that flew like crossbow bolts. I also took into consideration that to keep it fair (considering the advantages of the new Dawnguard crossbows) the bow should also be able to fire exploding arrows, similar
