Do not use any bows you don't mind having take damage. Bows are taking damage in the PvP arenas(Don't bring any valuable items into the arenas) Bows are rarely taking durability damage in the arenas. I've been in PvP all day and have lost one durability. There have three reports of this, to my knowledge. One was me, one was brought to my attention, and one was reported when I asked if anyone's items had taken damage. So, yeah... pls fix. PenguinDJ
I've been in PvP with my Arena Longbow most of the day and it hasn't taken any damage... Sounds like a few people have had this though so it does need to be fixed. If my bow gets damaged then I'll let you know.
It's not final so I can repair it if worse comes to worst Though I believe staff would fix your item if it took damage in PvP anyway
