Sharanga

The Sharanga is a top tier bow. When fired, it turns any sort of arrows into Spectral Arrows. Spectral Arrows produce a glowing effect and can inflict the Cursed Inferno debuff.

This is the best bow available prior to Hardmode, and remains useful well into it.

Crafting this bow requires 10 Hellstone Bars and two Molten Fury bows, for a total of 40 Hellstone Bars (10+15+15), or 120 Hellstone and 40 Obsidian.

 * Since the Sharanga is crafted using craftable weapons, its recipe is effectively just 40 Hellstone Bars.
