Does anyone else have a problem with the bow you can buy in the Northern Wastes' newbie arena? I rolled a char up there, and tried to use the bow. It was not an object I could wield, wear or hold. Oddly, the arrows that you buy there can be held.

I rolled out there too. Boy did I get a shock of the changes. Find the place worse than it was. And who really uses a bow at that level?

That isn't actually the point. The point is that there is a weapon that for some strange reason is unusable by anyone. It doesn't need to be removed, just fixed. If someone is rolling a scout, and wants a bow at that level, he should be able to use it, even if everyone else thinks it is a bad idea.

Your request might be better served by copy/pasting the description of the item and where it is sold.

I'm assuming he means the one sold by Coddra, in the newb zone? I've never tried using it so I'm not sure if it's bugged. This quote is from a log, otherwise I'd have tried it out and posted that, as well.

You buy a shortbow made from a human rib bone and strung with sinew.
You pay 1 silver, 3 copper in sales tax.
Coddra says to you 'Here is 5 copper in change.'
Coddra exclaims 'Thank you!'

[HP:100%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]
> remove dagger
You stop using a steel dagger.

[HP:100%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]

You can't wear, wield, or hold that.

[HP:100%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]

You buy an arrow, carved from a halfling's sternum .
You pay 1 silver, 3 copper in sales tax.
Coddra says to you 'Here is zero in change.'
Coddra exclaims 'Thank you!'

[HP:100%] [ME:100%] [PE:100%]

So I can't wield the bow, but I can sure as heck wield the arrow!
