Longbow — Detailed Guide
A Primitive+ bow
The Longbow is a bow from the Primitive+ DLC of ARK: Survival Evolved, fired with arrows. Its description reads: "Masters of the bow often become great conquerers. Requires arrows to fire." The ARK Wiki remarks that its range appears to be greater.
Unlocking and crafting the Longbow
The engram costs 25 engram points and, in our records, unlocks at level 46. The bow is crafted in a 
Smithy from:
- 15
Wood - 150
Fiber - 20
Leather (Primitive Plus) - 5
Beeswax (Primitive Plus)
Crafting takes 10 seconds and gives 5 XP. Repairs cost half the recipe: 7.5 Wood, 75 Fiber, 10 Leather and 2.5 Beeswax.
Arrows and torpor
Arrows are loaded by dragging them onto the bow in the inventory. With 
Stone Arrows it works as a ranged weapon against players and creatures. Tranquilizer Arrows knock targets out instead: a hit adds Torpor equal to 200% of its damage at once, then another 250% across the following 4 seconds. Head shots deal about 2.5 times the damage on many creatures, and the Torpor from Tranquilizer Arrows grows with that bonus too.
Weight, durability and water
The Longbow weighs 7, does not stack and has 60 durability. It cannot fire underwater, which the 
Crossbow can; from above the surface you can still shoot into the water, but the arrow does not travel far.
