Enchanted Bow is something you buy from villagers rather than sell to them; it does not appear as a raw-material trade, so trading is one of the few survival-friendly ways to stock up on it.
As enchanted equipment, enchanted bow arrives pre-enchanted, letting you skip the enchanting table and the experience levels it would normally cost. The specific enchantment and its level are decided when the trade generates.
Only the Fletcher deals in it, so any trading hall that supplies Enchanted Bow is built around that one profession. Because this is an enchanted item, the exact enchantment is rolled when the trade is generated, so the precise book or tool a villager offers varies from one villager to the next.

Is trading Enchanted Bow worth it?
On the demand side, the cheapest a villager will sell enchanted bow for is 7-21 emeralds (the Fletcher). Stack multiple villagers offering it, or cure one for a discount, and you can pull large quantities cheaply.
How Enchanted Bow trading works
Every Enchanted Bow trade follows Minecraft's standard supply-and-demand rules. A trade can be used a limited number of times — 3 for the slot in question — before it greys out and locks until the villager restocks. A villager restocks up to twice per in-game day, but only if it can path to its job-site block and "work" there, which is why a trading hall must leave the workstation reachable.
Buying enchanted bow repeatedly nudges its price up: heavy demand temporarily inflates the emerald cost, and the price drifts back down over time or resets when the villager restocks. Curing the villager from zombie form, or triggering the Hero of the Village effect, applies a discount on top of that, which is the cheapest way to acquire enchanted bow in bulk.
One caution: the first trade you complete with a fresh villager permanently locks its current offers, including the enchanted bow slot at whatever price it rolled. If you are chasing a specific price, decide before you trade, because there is no re-rolling a villager once it has done business with you.
Tips for trading Enchanted Bow
- Cheapest source: the Fletcher sells enchanted bow for 7-21 emeralds once it reaches the Expert tier, the lowest emerald cost recorded for this item.
- Re-rolling the enchantment: the enchantment on enchanted bow is random. Find an unemployed villager, give it the right workstation, and if the offer is wrong, break and replace the workstation before trading to reshuffle it.
- Cure for a discount: curing a zombie villager of the relevant profession permanently slashes its prices, so enchanted bow can often drop to a single emerald. See how.
- Lock the price: once you complete a trade the offer is fixed, so a cheap roll of enchanted bow stays cheap for that villager. Reset only happens on never-traded Novice villagers via the rolling method.
