44 Bow of the Fleeting is a bow in Crimson Desert. It is classified as a Rare+-grade ranged weapon with a base Attack of 10. A bow wielded by the earthen archers of Hexe Sanctuary. Though they have neither eyes nor ears, they always find their targets, guided by a dark desire to extinguish life.

66 As a bow, this weapon excels at engaging enemies from a distance. Bows are the traditional ranged weapons of Pailune and reward skilled marksmen who can land precise shots. They pair well with mobility-focused playstyles, allowing players to kite enemies while dealing consistent damage from safety.

2424 Blueprint From Back Alley Vendor
2525  
2626 The blueprint for the Bow of the Fleeting can be purchased from a back alley vendor who sells the book "Ranged Weapons of the World, Volume 4" for approximately 200 to 250 silver. This same vendor also sells black dye, making the shop worth visiting for cosmetic purposes as well.
2727  
2828 To unlock this vendor, you must first liberate the area and complete some side quests in the neighborhood. These quests involve stealing carts as part of a local resistance storyline. Once the questline wraps up, the vendor becomes available in the back alley.

3030 Hexe Sanctuary Drop
3131  
3232 The Bow of the Fleeting is also confirmed to drop from Hexe Sanctuary Earthan Archers inside the Hexe Sanctuary. The drop rate appears to be low, so farming this route is not recommended as a primary acquisition method. The blueprint vendor is far more reliable.

3636 A bow wielded by the earthen archers of Hexe Sanctuary. Though they have neither eyes nor ears, they always find their targets, guided by a dark desire to extinguish life.
3737  
3838 Weapons tied to Hexe Sanctuary carry an unsettling aura. The dark magic permeating the sanctuary has a way of seeping into objects crafted or wielded within its borders, granting them unusual properties at the cost of something less tangible.

4040 Combat Tips
4141  
4242 While the base Attack of 10 is moderate, this bow compensates with other advantages. Consider enhancing it through the refining system to boost its damage output.
4343  
4444 Bows are best used at medium to long range, allowing you to soften enemies before they close the gap.

4646 Crit Build Strategy
4747  
4848 The Bow of the Fleeting has an innate crit chance of 2. By adding 6 more crit from Insight Abyss Gears, you hit the internal crit cap of 8. Because the bow fires arrows rapidly through constant spam, crits proc frequently and deliver consistent bonus damage. This makes the bow one of the most reliable crit platforms in the game, and its crit stat can be built independently from your melee weapon, allowing high crit rates on both weapon types simultaneously.

5050 Infinite Arrows Combo
5151  
5252 The single most powerful Abyss Gear combination for any bow is Infinite Arrows 2 and Infinite Arrows 3. When both are equipped, loading a single explosive arrow allows you to keep spamming it indefinitely without consuming additional ammo. This combination trivializes large portions of the game because explosive arrows deal massive area damage and the supply never runs out. Fill the remaining Abyss slot with a Destruction 3 gear for extra attack damage.
5353  
5454 Bow Cheese Strategy
5555  
5656 With the crit and Infinite Arrows setup in place, the Bow of the Fleeting enables what players call the "bow cheese" strategy. Start by spamming Evasive Shot to stagger-lock the boss, preventing it from attacking or closing distance. Once the boss is locked in hit-stun, transition into a fully Charged Shot for explosive flaming arrows that deal devastating damage. Virtually nothing survives this approach when executed correctly.
5757  
5858 For a quality-of-life bonus, pair this bow with the Firefly Lantern, which increases your passive healing rate and keeps your health topped off between engagements without consuming healing items.
