level 3 archer, I have died once but I don't think that's the problem..
my bow will equip, it's the one I've had from the start- Wooden Bow level 0, but like an hour ago I ran out of ammo and I found 500 Woven Fang Arrow, level 1-16 and it will NOT equip into the ammo slot!
and I do have a level 1 Stinging Bow, but it is red and will not equip into the weapon slot.
someone help?

    Woven Fang arrows require level 1 bow, your current bow is level 0

    Stinging bow requires 6 dexterity, have you distributed points into dexterity?

    I'm having this same problem right now.
    When I equip the bow it becomes red and arrows won't equip. The same thing with 2 bows I have tried.

    I am lvl 10 archer
    Vit. 17
    Str. 18
    Mag. 16
    Dex. 15

    Bow what I have tried to use are Stinging bow Lvl 1 and Bronze Crossbow lvl. 1. Arrows are Woven fangs...

    There are 3 types of weapons an archer can use, crossbow, bow and slingshot.

    Crossbow uses bolts
    Slingshot uses shots
    Bow uses arrows.

    There are different types of ammo you can use that require a certain level of weapon.
    Your stats also have a problem, your lacking damage and your lacking points in dex, you will not be able to equip bows to your level. Vit is kinda wasted as I think it only gives 10hp per a point and Mag can come helpful in later levels but you will lack damage.

    Weapons wear out with use; make sure your bow is fully repaired (can be done from the goods screen of any merchant, blacksmith, tailor, craftsman or apothecary.)

    Crossbows require bolts not arrows.

    Slingshots require shot not bolts or arrows.

    If you dont have the req stat points you wont be able to equip the item. It says on the item what it requires. For example if in the stats of the weapon it says requires 16 dexterity then you need that much dexterity to even equip that weapon.

    Also, that stat distribution is terrible for an archer. I would suggest you look at the archer guides to figure out what the correct stats are for archers. You shouldn't be wasting points in magic at all at this point. All you should really care about is dex, str, and possibly if it really matters to you vit (although the pure 4 dex 1str per lvl build is the best overall from most people's experience).

    You should be putting most of all your points in Dex and none in mag I would suggest restarting and read the guides in The Archer Forum.It goes something like this 2 str 8 dex every 2 levels.

    To the Op just get the bow out of the supply box now that you are lvl 5.

    You should have no points in mag. The other points should be put in dex. and str.( 3 points for dex. and 2 points for str. per lvl). You can give points to vit. if you want, but I wouldn't recomend it.
