Bound bow how much damage

The Mystic Bound Bow does 24 base damage, and comes with Daedric Arrows 24 damage every time you cast. The Daedric Bow does 19 base damage, and you might find yourself using a lot of lower grade arrows until you really get enough money to constantly buy Daedric arrows.

When you can get the Daedric Smithing perk, you will have 90 Smithing, so you will be able to make Legendary at 91 Smithing. A Legendary level 1 Daedric Bow does 29 Base damage. If you augment your smithing past with potions and enchanted armor, you can go many levels into Legendary for vast improvements in damage. An Ebony Bow does base 17 damage, and you will be able to improve that to Epic by the time you get the Ebony perk, meaning base damage So pretty much as soon as you get the Ebony Smithing perk, the Bound Bow starts to lose out.
