Marrow (demo)

The Marrow attacking Target Dummies, shooting Bone Arrows.

The Marrow is a Hardmode bow that has a 0.5*1/200 (0.5%) chance to be dropped by Skeleton Archers.

When fired, the next available arrow will instead be converted into a special Bone ArrowBone Arrow, which fires at a higher velocity than average arrows. However, while the used arrow's base damage is accounted for, special properties of converted arrows are entirely lost.

The Marrow has a base 9% critical strike chance, as opposed to the usual 4%.

Its best modifier is Unreal.

Tips[]

  • The Marrow will convert the Endless Quiver's arrows, allowing it to fire its special arrows indefinitely.
  • Venom Arrows and Cursed Arrows have the highest base arrow damage, making them more effective when used with the Marrow, even though the special properties are removed.

Trivia[]

  • In real life, marrow is a flexible tissue found inside of bones.
  • Due to a change in stats with the 1.4.0.1 update, the Marrow has gone from having lower overall stats to having higher overall stats than the Ice Bow.
  • As a bow, its name is a play on the word "arrow."

History[]

  • Desktop 1.2.3: Slightly increased damage and slightly decreased use time.
