Okay, is there any way to improve this bow with upgrades, different strings, differnt grips or is it greeat as is??? I'd like to make it a poisoners bow, but I wont do that if it would take away any of the current features.

It's a great bow, leave it. Poisoning will replace the Ebon string (earth damage). IMO if you want a poisoning bow, get a longbow so you can poison on the initial hit, then switch to that bow there for close-in fighting.

thanks good advise, now 2nd question (sorry I'm a noob) I can still get a better ebon string and a better Shelter grip though cant I...if I had the $ that is?

What do you mean by a better ebon string? You can get a better shelter grip, but the ebon bow string just makes it earth damage you can't get any range of improvement.

No, Ebon is Ebon, no percentage, and +7 vs physical is the highest armor rating you are going to get.
