How to Increase Arrow Speed Using Lightning Aspect

Ranged weapons can be enhanced with elemental properties to alter how arrows and bolts travel. Lightning Aspect is designed specifically to optimize long-distance archery.

Lightning Aspect Benefits and Restrictions

Lightning Aspect applies exclusively to bows and crossbows. Once applied, all fired projectiles travel noticeably faster, allowing you to hit moving or distant targets more reliably.

Before applying this enchantment, keep its incompatibility list in mind:

• Quick Charge: Crossbows cannot combine Lightning Aspect with the vanilla Quick Charge enchantment.
• Curse of Earth: Lightning Aspect cannot be combined with the Curse of Earth.

Enchanting Your Bow or Crossbow

1. Acquire the enchantment: Since Lightning Aspect is not a treasure enchantment, you can obtain it via standard enchanting or enchanted books.

2. Verify incompatibilities: Remove any crossbow that already has Quick Charge if you plan on applying Lightning Aspect via an anvil.

3. Avoid Curse of Earth: Check looted ranged weapons before merging. Curse of Earth removes projectile speed entirely in exchange for close-combat damage, completely contradicting Lightning Aspect's projectile acceleration.
