About this mod

Have you ever felt that End Game Short Bows lack Elemental Damage? Well me too. Here's a fix for that. :)

End Game Elemental Short Bows is a mod that gives end game short bows varied elements.

There is a merged version with my previous "End Game Elemental Swords (1H)" too. Don't worry. :)

In the idea of making them also have elemental damage, each short bow has a faithful element based on its name and description.

Darkening Storm =
Made form parts of Dark creatures which uses their powers to damage enemies, therefore, Dark Element fits it.

Dragon's Rancor =
The rancor of the flying dragons whose come from above, as it is with Wyvern and ThunderWyvern, therefore, Lightning Element fits it.

Fey Whisper =
The Platinum bow, which is the purest of metals, clear as Holy element, therefore, Holy element fits it.

Stalwart Bow =
Strong and unbreakable as ice in cold places, therefore, Ice element fits it.

Pleached Limbs Bow =
Removed from a distant tree from other lands, therefore, Poison debilitation fits it.

Rusted Bow =
Rust brings all diceases and the rust may take all enemies which are struck by its arrows.
Therefore Dark Element plus all Debilitations that I could add to it.
(This is by no means balanced and it's just a joke edit as before.
Thus, I made it have 0 STR attack power, but 250 Dark Elemental damage, but it applies all Debilitations to enemies.)

You may consider them unbalanced, so please, let me know if you disagree with their stats and feel free suggest your ideas. :)
Also feel free to request a version of weapon for you, if it's possible, I will try to do it.

For players and modders:
There are two files in the archive.

Thank you very much for reading until here and, please I ask humbly, consider donating, sharing, and also supporting the other modders on the Acknowledgments list if you feel in your heart to.

Thank you very much!

I've been going through a hard moment financially, so I decided to use my field of study (coding, programming, tech, cybersecurity) to make mods and study games and how they work and help the community the way I can. I don't have much to offer for now, as you can probably see, but you can check my scripts for DDDA modding, my other simple DDDA ideas, and for now, this one.
Depending on how the situation goes, I will try to create my own mods and keep researching on reverse engineering this awesome game. I don't like to need to do this, but it's one of the few ways right now I can help myself.



If you'd like and feel in your heart, you can donate through my Ko-Fi page: https://ko-fi.com/ryleskeys

Thank you very much for your comprehension...
