Pearlwood Bow

By the time your world contains Pearlwood you also have Hardmode ore, and this loses to everything those bars make. It exists to round out the wood set, not to be aimed at anything that hits back.

On a seed that hands you Pearlwood before Hardmode begins, the maths flips completely. It becomes the strongest bow available to a fresh character and it costs nothing but chopped trees, which carries you comfortably through the early bosses.

It has no knockback at all, so every modifier that touches knockback is off the table and the good rolls come from a shorter list than usual. That quirk is the most interesting thing about it.
