k thanx alot

do you get eternel weapons from them and storm bows?

RTSFirebat · Jul 18, 2005, 11:06 AM // 11:06

They drop good stuff.

Don't see what so great about Storm bows... they are just fancy looking Longbows... with rubbish rate of fire.

They look nice, but my Half Moon is much better in my eyes.

i just want a storm bow and sell it, to get
lots af cash :P cauz im broke...

Currently they aren't used for anything. Many players are collecting them since they maybe used for something someday.

Needless to say its they can be sold to players for 5K a piece, so they are nice for cash.

ya...drops in the UW are getting increasingly poor.

I've gotten 12 remains in my last 2 runs....not worth the 1000 gold.

I actually got a ruby from one of the two devourers outside of acsalon city right after I came post,that was on my first day in the game about 3 months ago

nice, didnt know that you could get them that early (thought that they came with a patch)
