Anyone have a list of bows and their stats?

[Gneen]

Forgive the question, but I've tried the search and have come up empty. I'm a 29.8 ranger and as I move to the next tier I'm trying to set my goals for bow improvement.  Ideally - there is a website out there somewhere that will list both the crafted and quested bows along with their attributes so I can make an informed decision and start bothering me tradeskill friends or starting the appropriate quests (or saving me gold!). A nice big table perhaps listed by age-appropriateness would be ideal ... I can usually find some information if I know what a bow is "named" but have a problem figuring out what to look for in the first place! ADVthanksANCE! =Gneen - Leaver of Shards <div></div>

I would suggest Doing the stormfire long [Removed for Content] quest , is a really nice bow, then do DFC access for the bloodlet.

[YanZh]

<P>For quested bows, check out Stormfire.  It's available after a series of quests from Sir Valinyle (sp?) in Stormhold.  It's a pain in the backside, but a nice bow for 28-35ish.</P> <P>After that, it's Sureshot or Bloodlet from the Operation Greenhood quest in Zek, with Bloodlet being the superior choice for most.</P> <P>I believe these bows are better than the non-rare player crafted stuff, but with the introduction of enchantments, it's not so clear.  Sorry I can't help with a particular website/list, but I'm sure someone smarter than me can chime in...</P> <P>Searching for the above names will provide oodles and oodles of information.  As a side note, how does one measure an oodle?</P> <P> </P> <P>Good luck,</P> <P>Yan Zhou</P> <P>aka Gimbit on Lucan</P>

<DIV>Yup went Stormfire---->Bloodlet---->>Pristine Imbued Cedar Long bow (player crafted lvl's 40-50)</DIV>

Earlier I would have said Stormfire, hands down. It's a great bow in the 28+ area. These days tho, a proc is mighty nice. I'd look for an imbued oak long bow for when you turn 30. <div></div>

<DIV>Completely agree, Stormfire is the best bow you can get for a long time, plus it has a nice agility boost on it which is great for us Rangers. I was using that right up until around 38 when it turned green on me. Tried getting the Bloodlet / Surefire bow, but when I completed Operation Greenhood, my journal updated, I gained experience, and the quest vanished from the journal. Presumeably I have to go speak to... someone. So either way, I can't comment on that weapon.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>But what I'm using right now is the Longbow of the Warmaster. It's a raid drop, and is <SPAN class=data-statplus>+6</SPAN> Strength  <SPAN class=data-statplus>+4</SPAN> Wisdom  <SPAN class=data-statplus>+5</SPAN> Intelligence  <SPAN class=data-statplus>+4</SPAN> Agility  <SPAN class=data-statplus>+31</SPAN> Health  <SPAN class=data-statplus>+35</SPAN> Power statwise. It also has a proc which casts Stunning Strike Glyph, a mental attack of about 80 - 100.</DIV>

<P>Try:</P> <P>Eq2.Ogaming.com</P> <P>They have a very nice list of equipment and a handy search feature.  Just type Bow in the box, check the box for equipment and hit search.</P> <P>Also handy to see which quests give what.  Lots of spoilers though.</P> <P> </P> <P>Kwentavius</P>

<DIV>Recently finshed all the quests for Stormfire Bow in Stormhold:</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><A href="http://eq2.ogaming.com/db/quests/DefiledKeeper.php" target=_blank>http://eq2.ogaming.com/db/quests/DefiledKeeper.php</A></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>here is link on what it all entails, it is basically a series of quests for  Sir Valinayle in Stormhold.

<DIV>After lucking into the quest starter drop (got it in zek, it seems to be about as rare as the invoker robe, and sadly, not nearly as rewarding) and going through about 12 arduous steps between zek, runneye, el, rivervale, and the drafling tower, i got this</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><IMG src="http://eq2images.station.sony.com/itemicons/13149173835395.jpg"></DIV>

<P><FONT size=2>Oh, nice! I like Pinewhisper. Very glad to see some more nice bows surfacing later in the game.

<DIV>While you are in Stormhold getting Stormfire, try and pick up the Ghoulbane and Sword of Thunder.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>If you plan on taking on Varsoon in the RoV, you will need them.  </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>It was most annoying to find out my imbued weapons did nothing to Varsoon.</DIV>

[Gneen]

Thanks to all for their help ... I'm currently questing for Stormfire and negotiating for a conditioned oak long bow (imbued with luck)!   I will also pass along another resource I discovered along the way:  Dojaeni on the AB server (level 49 woodworker). I found his website to contain some great info on teak, oak, and cedar Tier 4/5 crafted bows: <font size="5"><a href="http://dojaeni.com" target=_blank>http://dojaeni.com </a> </font> Thanks again to all ... hope to see some more resources listed on this thread going forward! =Gneen (just celebrated his 30 season of shard distribution) <div></div>

<P>Also, if you can't do the greenhood quest yet you can usually pick up a sureshot bow on the broker for a reasonable price.  I found one for 8G.</P> <P>You can use the sureshot at 30 and it lasts til 38 I think.  Bloodlet will last you til 43.  Sureshot a good interim bow if you never got stormfire.</P> <P>Haven't seen any bloodlets on the market, np though since I am working on getting my own.</P> <P> </P> <P>What is the drop that starts the Pinewhisper quest?</P> <P> </P> <P>Kwent</P> <p>Message Edited by Kthaara on <span class=date_text>04-14-2005</span> <span class=time_text>11:20 AM</span>

<P>Although I like my Pristine Imbued Cedar Long bow, I'd like to see a Fabled or Mythical bow drop off an epic encounter.  Darathar and the rest of you encounters, stop holding out on us. </P>

[KetMali]

I have heard and seen stats of some 700+ dmg bows that have been dropping, none on my server but at least they are dropping. They are some sick bows.

Nice bow indeed. Who dropped that ? I don't understand why they put int on bows though..... <div></div>

[lilmohi]

Seriously forget the quest bows, and go pristine imbued longbows all the way.  Rare or not the extra damage these bows have from procs makes them well worth the cost.  Plus you don't have to spend a week camping stupid rare grey mobs in stormhold.  Plus in your career as a ranger you will only have to buy 3 player made bows, but quest and mob drop bows tend to green out a lot quicker.

[Mirkanon]

<P>Then I have a question.  I found a legendary bone and had it crafted and imbued into a long bow.  What is more fun wife found another legendary bone in basically the same spot in Antonica.  She had hers made into a wonderful bone desk.  With Stormfire would the bone longbow/Imbue be better?</P> <P> </P> <P>Onis Tailchaser</P> <P>24th Ranger/26th Jeweler</P> <P> </P>
