== Overview ==
This quest covers creating the basic Composite Bow, Composite Crossbow, and Composite Atlatl. Once you create your weapon, you may proceed to the [[Composite Weapons Upgrade]] quest to enhance it.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
There are 18 variations of the [[Composite Bow]], 18 variations of the [[Composite Crossbow]], 54 variations of the [[Composite Bow with Handle]], and 54 variations of the [[Composite Crossbow with Handle]]. For all possible weapons, see [[Composite Weapons Quest/Full Rewards]].

The best possible Composite Bows and Crossbows are made from [[Great Mattekar Horn]]s, [[Ravener Guts]], [[Large Lugian Sinew]]s, and a [[Dark Revenant Thighbone]]. For these weapons, see the rewards section.

The Atlatl, which was a later addition, only has 4 variations. For these weapons, see the rewards section.

== Dialog ==
{{Dialog|
;Giving Fire Auroch Horn to Yuan Hanzu
|You give Yuan Hanzu Fire Auroch Horn.

|Yuan Hanzu gives you Shaped Fire Auroch Horn.

;Giving Great Mattekar Horn to Yuan Hanzu
|You give Yuan Hanzu Great Mattekar Horn.
|Yuan Hanzu tells you, "Great Mattekars are worthy prey. Take this piece of carved horn. With it you may make a strong weapon."

;Lugian Sinew Cooking Failure

;Yuan Hanzu, opening dialog (Come What Follows, retired)

|Yuan Hanzu tells you, "If you are looking to upgrade your bow or simply wish to help me collect some materials for my craft I have a small task for you."
|Yuan Hanzu tells you, "I've heard of a chain of Ancient Caves where an unknown creature's bones may be found. These bones make exceptional handles for the Composite Bow and Composite Crossbow. Unfortunately the caves are infested with Grievvers and can be quite dangerous for an unprepared explorer. Go and find a Fossilized Bone in the caves deepest depths. There are other bones on the upper levels of the cave that I can use as well."

;Yuan Hanzu, opening dialog (??, retired)
|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."
|Yuan Hanzu gives you Yaun Hanzu's Composite Bow Manual.
