Yuan Hanzu tells you, "If you wish to craft a Composite Bow for yourself you can find my book on the process at most Ivory Crafters."

Yuan Hanzu tells you, "If you are looking to upgrade your bow or simply wish to help me collect some materials for my craft I have a small task for you."

Yuan Hanzu tells you, "I've heard of a chain of Ancient Caves where an unknown creature's bones may be found. These bones make exceptional handles for the Composite Bow and Composite Crossbow. Unfortunately the caves are infested with Grievvers and can be quite dangerous for an unprepared explorer. Go and find a Fossilized Bone in the caves deepest depths. There are other bones on the upper levels of the cave that I can use as well."

Yuan Hanzu tells you, "Have you read my work on composite bows? I gave some to my ivory crafter associates. I can help you by carving pieces of horn to go into the bow's stave. If you are interested in crossbows, talk to my friend, Barnar the Tinker."

Yuan Hanzu gives you Yaun Hanzu's Composite Bow Manual.
