The Dink Network

In Dink Smallword v.1.08 I got to the bit before the goblin village part and I saved up 1500 gold and bought a bow lore from the man... I realised I needed a bow so I saved up 1000 and bought a bow and arrows. I can't find a bow lore in my inventory or any sign of it, plus no effect on my bow. I returned to the man underground who sold me the bow lore (on instruction of the man at the bow shop) to find he had disappeared.
- Is the bow lore invisible?
- Can I get it back if it's not?
- Will I have to restart the game? (please no)
Help!

Bow lore does not need to be activated, it is a passive buff to your bow weapon. So no, you don't need to restart

If you have bow lore and use your bow, every few times Dink will say "Power Shot". That means that Bow Lore worked, and the damage of the arrow will be much greater.

I think it was 3 times the damage.

Oh okay, thanks! I do get a power shot so I know it's ok ;D
