The Gift of the Bow quest starts with Glyndwr in Vernworth. You have to speak to Glyndwr in the Merchant Quarter, outside the weaponsmith’s shop. Glyndwr is a male NPC with long silver hair and a bow.

The first step to completing the Gift of the Bow quest is to get Glyndwr a bow. Any bow will work just fine. I already had one bow in my inventory, and I turned in that one. If you don’t have one, buy it from Roderick, just behind Glyndwr. When you get the bow, go back to Glyndwr and turn it in.

Glyndwr will then ask you to meet him at the ruins north of Trevo Mine to practice. This is in the northwest of the map, near the Mountain Pass. It’s important that you change your Vocation to Archer before heading out. You can change your Vocation when you talk to Klaus in the Vocation Guild. Remember, you need Discipline Points to change your Vocation. 

Once that’s out of the way, head outside and move north to reach the ruins. When you cross the river to the north, you’re near your destination, and all you need to do is keep an eye out on your minimap because it will be marked with a golden square.

When you arrive, you have one task—shoot the hanging targets with your bow. It’s as simple as that.
