How to get King’s Squire bow in Genshin Impact

To get your King’s Squire bow, you will have to roll up your sleeves and grab your crafting hammer, because this 4-star weapon is made by the process of forging. This means that the first thing on the agenda for obtaining King’s Squire will be to grab the corresponding diagram.

To get the diagram, you will need to visit Aravinay, the forging blueprint vendor. Aravinay can be found in Mahavanaranapna, which is the dream version of Vanarana, an area in northwestern Sumeru. The forging blueprint for King’s Squire is called Tale of the King’s Squire and can be bought for one Stories of You and Aranara — a quest item that you can receive as a quest reward in Sumeru.

Once you have acquired the forging blueprint and learned how to craft King’s Squire, you will need to collect the required crafting materials. To craft King’s Squire you will have to gather:

• 500 Mora
• 1 Midlander Bow Billet
• 50 Crystal Chunks
• 50 White Iron Chunks

With all these items ready for crafting, it will take 10 seconds for a skilled blacksmith to make your new bow — the King’s Squire.

King’s Squire stats

Being a 4-star weapon, King’s Squire’s stats are nothing to scoff at. For example, the Base ATK stat starts at 41 at level 1 and gets to a maximum of 454 at level 90. The secondary stat for King’s Squire is ATK% increase, which is 12% at level 1, up to a maximum of 55.1% at level 90.

In addition to that, King’s Squire has a pretty cool refinement power. It is called Labyrinth Lord’s Instruction, and has the following effect:

• Obtain the Teachings of the Forest effect when unleashing Elemental Skills and Bursts, increasing Elemental Mastery by 60 for 12s. This effect will be removed when switching characters. When the Teachings of the Forest effect ends or is removed, it will deal 100% of ATK as DMG to 1 nearby opponent. The Teachings of the Forest effect can be triggered once every 20s.

With each next refinement level, the Elemental Mastery increase of Labyrinth Lord’s Instruction grows in increments of 20 points. This means that the Elemental Mastery bonus can be refined from level 1 to level 5 to amount to:

60 > 80 > 100 > 120 > 140

King’s Squire Ascension

The King’s Squire bow has six ascension levels in total, with each ascension level needing specific materials and a Mora fee to complete. To ascend from level 0 to 1, you need:

• 5,000 Mora
• 3x Echo of Scorching Might

• 2x Firm Arrowhead

To ascend from level 1 to level 2, you need:

• 15,000 Mora
• 3x Remnant Glow of Scorching Might

To ascend from level 2 to level 3, you need:

• 20,000 Mora
• 6x Remnant Glow of Scorching Might

To ascend from level 3 to level 4, you need:

• 30,000 Mora
• 3x Dream of Scorching Might

To ascend from level 4 to level 5, you need:

And finally, to ascend from level 5 to level 6, you need:

• 45,000 Mora
• 4x Olden Days of Scorching Might
• 18x Robust Fungal Nucleus
• 12x Weathered Arrowhead

If you want to complete ascending your King’s Squire bow all at once (or you just really like to know resource totals), the math equates to farming up a total of:

• 150,000 Mora
• 3x Echo of Scorching Might
• 9x Remnant Glow of Scorching Might
• 9x Dream of Scorching Might
• 4x Olden Days of Scorching Might

• 18x Dormant Fungal Nucleus
• 27x Robust Fungal Nucleus

• 15x Sharp Arrowhead
• 18x Weathered Arrowhead

After all of that crafting and material farming, you can now equip one of your bow-using characters with a nifty 4-star bow, the King’s Squire.
