BOW UPGRADE LVL 47

[Aull]

<p>Ok it is been a long time since I have played my ranger and was running around Sinking Sands this morning and I looked at my equipment and seen that I am still using the bow that came from the storm hold quest back when I was like lvl 28 lol. What bow would you recommend? Once I get home I will log on the broker and see what is available. </p><p>Thanks</p>

I cannot remember any bows that were quest rewards that were better than what you could find on the broker until Raincaller at level 57. Then again it has been a while since I was level 47.

If you have buying power, you might want "Longarm" , I believe its level 40 , and from DFC.Otherwise, MasterCrafted till 57's RainCaller.

I"m hoping to see how well I do in Deathfist citadal with it.

I also vote Longarm. I used it a good amount.

<p>Thanks for the replies everyone! I logged in my ranger for the first time in prolly three months to play him and all I can say is he is playing much much better than before for some reason. Not sure if I was more focused on my approach/playstyle this morning or if rangers got some luv somewhere but anyway he seems to play a great deal better than before.</p><p>Later all...thanks again!</p>

<p>I've used both bows mentioned, as well as am woodworker, so have the Ironwood as well.  It's only a marginal improvement over the last one I used (Longarm?)  There's also the Gnomish Mechanized bow (level 51?) which you can get from an easy quest in Steamfont, but it's not really an improvement over Longarm either.</p><p>So basically only 2 bows needed to get you from late 20's to late 50's.  It's gotten really boring without even the possibility of a primary weapon upgrade for so long. :/  So I'm playing another game for awhile.</p>

I haven't reached that level in my Woodworking almost there and want to know if it is worth using the Ironwood for or saving that for my up coming Carpenter.

I definitely think the Ironwood bow is an upgrade compared to Longarm.  I used Longarm from 39 to 51, and I'll continue to hold onto it to chase down runners (in pvp).  Longarm has the range, the +2 ranged, and the lower delay, but the Ironwood bow has better stats overall (+19 str and sta I think) and hits harder.
