There are tons of different armors and items that you can equip your cats with Mewgenics. Some of these improve stats, others provide additional “armor points” to protect your cats when they take damage, and others will provide some sort of bonus effect in battle. Quite a few of them are just as crude and toilet humor-based as you'd expect from this scary cat game. But one item that has players confused is the Fancy Bow in Mewgenics. In this guide, we'll explain everything we know about how to get the Fancy Bow into the game, as well as what we know about what it actually does at the time of writing.
How to Reroll Level Up Abilities in Mewgenics
Each time you level up in Mewgenics, you will be able to teach your cat a new ability from a selection. Here's how to reroll the choice of abilities.
How to get nice bow in Mewgenics
The Fancy Bow is one of the first rewards you get from the NPCs in Mewgenicsas it was given to you as a reward for donating a cat to Tink. Tink is the eccentric character in the lower left corner of the small map screen that you can bring up from your home.
However, Tink doesn't want just any cat. He's after one of your kittens. Kittens are relatively easy to get as long as you already have some cats in your house… and I hope you have cats because this is a game about breeding and fighting cats!
Be sure to check the stats of the kitten you give to Tink. Ideally, you want to give him a kitten that doesn't have great stats or abilities. If two of your best cats are parents to a kitten, chances are it could be very strong and well worth keeping. Tink can wait for one of your rounds!
Once you have a kitten, drop it into the green pipe to the left of your house and select Tink from the map screen that appears. He will thank you for donating the kitten and reward you with the Fancy Bow for your efforts.
What does the fancy bow do?
When Tink gives you the Fancy Bow, he implies that it is especially powerful “in the right light.” But when you look at the item's description in your inventory, it just says “It's nice.”
At the time of writing, no one seems to have figured out if the Fancy Bow has some kind of special effect or buffs the stats of the cat you equip it to, or if it's just… fancy. My guess is that it might be part of a piece of equipment that will give some kind of bonus when they are all equipped for a character. However, this is just speculation and for now we will have to wait and see as the community continues to delve into the mysteries of the Fancy Bow.
As soon as we hear anything or figure it out, we'll update this post and let you know. For now, I'd recommend just keeping it in your inventory (if you have enough space), just in case it turns out to be particularly powerful.
