The Falmer Supple Bow looks just like the regular Falmer Bow, but it’s heavier and hits harder, with 15 base damage and a weight of 20. Like most Falmer gear, it’s built from the chitin of the chaurus.
It isn’t part of any craftable material tier, so the only way to get one is from the Falmer themselves, generally the ones that are least happy to hand it over. It fits the creepy, organic look of Falmer Armor.

Tips and notes
- It can’t be crafted or improved at a grindstone, unlike the regular Falmer Bow. Enchanting is the only way to make it better.
- One of the heaviest bows in the game, alongside the Dragonbone Bow.
- At 410 gold base value, it’s a nice haul even if you don’t plan to use it.
