Restring

In the process of restringing a bow, an archer tweaks it to suit his personal shooting style. As bow tightness increases, the minimum damage of the bow will go up, as will the strength required to use the bow, or DRAW STRENGTH. Crossbows can be restrung, but the results are generally not as dramatic as a restringing a bow. There is a chance of permanently ruining a bow item with this skill.
