Elden Ring Misbegotten Shortbow Notes & Tips

• Weapon Skill: Barrage
• This weapon can be infused with Ashes of War
• Misbegotten Shortbow can be upgraded by using Smithing Stones
• Sell Value:  

   100

• Base drop rate is 2% (at 100 Discovery)
• The Misbegotten bow only appears worth it if you use the Arrow's Reach Talisman or are at very close range as it drops off hard at range, as at the same range, the short bow outperforms it due to its increased range.
• This really is the only decent ranged option that also has scaling, so with this, the Bastard Sword (only needing one point invested in DEX when starting as a Hero), and the Clawmark Seal (only 2 points in FTH), you have a mostly pure STR Build that is about as versatile as any other build out there.
• NOTE: As of Patch 1.09, the scaling values of this weapon were changed. Please refer to the Upgrades Table of this weapon below.
