Elemental bows were originally auction items and have been released in various forms by various GameMasters. They are generally eligible for sighting at a WPS smithy, but undisclosed factors may prevent any particular bow from being worked on.

Info from GM Khaladon
To clarify all the magical bows that been made... After archery came out, an auction had 5 bows called "an elemental bow of XXXX" back in the day when the only flare types were fire, ice, acid, electricity, and impact. They are all 10x weapons basically. Uska a couple years ago released a handful of bows at Anfelt and one at Ciston's auction to benefit the troops. I think the total is 6 of them. They are 0x weapons (which is really bad for DS for archers), and the enchant is based on level, with only rangers able to get past 5x. I made a slew of varying types for the WaveDancer, releasing 18 in total, 3 of each type. The arrow making bows came in 3 types, flaring (all the flare types we have now, and the chance of flaring is much greater than 10 percent, contrary to the prior posts), randomly damage weighted, and just arrows. All the arrows range from +1 to +30, and with the bows being +20, its a +21 to +50 weapon. The others were chaos bows (varies in enchant, highly sighted, morphs), racial bows (nicely sighted for most, awesome for halflings and sylvans), and the speed crossbows (cock in 3 seconds). So... Enjoy em. Which ever one you have, I think Banthis's, Uska's, and mine are all comparable. Have fun. ~K That's the most definitive information on the elemental bows that I've seen to date. I wanted to compile a list of what they look like and possibly the current owners. I remember hearing about an elemental crossbow too. Was it one of the originals? Have any of them been lost to invasions, lockouts or anything? I remember seeing one of the originals on someone in Illistim but I'll be darned if I can remember who that was. Note: If anyone wants off this list or be known as an alias, please just let me know. *One of the original Banthis bows was lost shortly after the auction. There are most likely only 4 bows remaining in circulation.Banthis' Original Five Elemental Bows:
Banthis' bows are, in their original state, 5x/5x bows that flare their particular element on every shot and are permablessed.
