It's not too difficult to outfit your roster of characters with weapons in Genshin Impact. Even while exploring Sumeru in Patch 3.0, it is still not too hard to find decent options. But the best of the best are, of course, the coveted 5-star weapons. These have the best stat ratios, strongest powers, and all-around make the characters you equip with them into powerhouses. One such weapon in Patch 3.0 is the Hunter's Path bow, which is a superb 5-star weapon for your strongest bow user. And in this article, we will describe how you can get Hunter's Path and explain its stats and powers.

The only way to get the Hunter's Path bow is through Weapon Event Wishes. That means that you will have to do Wish pulls with a chance for the 5-star to drop when Hunter's Path is the promoted weapon. Let's take a look at the two possible scenarios to explain how the guaranteed pull works.
Hunter's Path is a 5-star bow, which means that it has some amazing stats and powers. The base ATK value of the bow is 44 at level 1 and becomes 542 at level 90. Its secondary stat is CRIT rate, which increases the chance to critically hit with it, and starts at 9.6% at level 1 and gets up to 44.1% at level 90.
With all that power, Hunter's Path also has a refinement power with a long name: At the End of the Beast-Paths, which has the following effect:
With every level of refinement, the All Elemental DMG Bonus and Charged Attack DMG percentage grow incrementally:
12% > 15% > 18% > 21% > 24%
160% > 200% > 240% > 280% > 320%
All weapons in Genshin Impact need to be ascended to reach their full potential, and powerful weapons like the Hunter's Path bow doubly so. To get to each new ascension level, you will need to gather resources and pay a Mora fee. To ascend from level 0 to 1, you'll need:
To ascend from level 1 to level 2, you need:
To ascend from level 2 to level 3, you need:
To ascend from level 3 to level 4, you need:
To ascend from level 4 to level 5, you need:
And finally, to ascend from level 5 to level 6, you need:
With this head-spinning number of resources needed, you might want to know what the totals would be on everything that you have to farm up. We have added it all together, and to full ascend your Hunter's Path, you would have to get:
So if you are fortunate (or persistent) enough to successfully wish a Hunter's Path bow, and then go through all of the necessary steps to upgrade it, you will have a very potent 5-star weapon on your hands.
