New Quest - Composite Bow & Crossbow!
Initial Rumor from Ayun Baqur

Quest Details: Composite Bow & Crossbow
Text: Handbook of Yuan Hanzu

Thiuda the Sharp-Eyed tells you, "I'm Thiuda the Sharp-Eyed. Welcome to the Old Campaigner's Bows. That's me, the old campaigner, heh heh."
Thiuda the Sharp-Eyed tells you, "Good hunting. Remember, one shot, one
kill, youngster."

Yuan Hanzu tells you, "Have you read my work on composite bows? I gave some to my ivory crafter associates. I can help you by carving pieces of horn to go into the bow's stave. If you are interested in crossbows, talk to my friend, Barnar the Tinker."

Thanks to Islander and Drexel Firsthand for posing with the Composite Bow!
