- Start
Mentu has offered to teach me the frontier bowyer's craft, if I'm worth teaching. (Requires Falcon of the East, Archery 50 and Handicraft 45.)
- Stage 1
A composite bow, says Mentu, is wood, horn, sinew and a month of bad language. He wants three ibex horns from the Nubian ibex that climb the hills around Serabit and Wadi Maghara.

Mentu is soaking the horns. Meanwhile desert leopards have been taking his ibex, and he wants three of them dealt with.
To do: Kill 3 × Desert leopardUpdated by talking to Mentu - Stage 3
The leopards are dealt with. Mentu wants two ostrich plumes for the crown of Sopdu: ostriches roam the plain west of the Wadi Hammamat Mine.
- Complete
Mentu showed me how horn and wood are married with sinew and glue, and gave me a bow of his own making and a crown of Sopdu's plumes.
