Rare Bow Skins. What and Where? - Guild Wars Forums

Illithen Firebringer · Nov 10, 2007, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Hi everyone,
I have a perfect sundering bow string, a perfect bow grip of fortitude, and a perfect 15^50 inscription. All I need is a rare bow to put them on. I have one little question:

What are the rarest/most valuble skins of bows, and where do they drop?

For the purposes of my question, exclude bows that can be crafted (Tormented Bow, Destroyer Bow).

Thanks,
Illithen

Not knowing your running build atm...I would have to say the azure is most eye pleasing.

Storm bows, eternal bows, zodiac bows, are just a few of the rarer ones. My personal favorite is the storm bow.

Silverwing Recurves are pretty hot right now.

And there's always Eternal and Storm bows.

Silverwing is about the only "rare" skin, can pick up a storm bow, zodiac or such very cheap now days, forget rare and get a good looking one imo

You don't. You have to get them as drops or buy them off other people.

what about Celestial Bow? I find that one a nice looking rare bow

Illithen Firebringer · Nov 10, 2007, 09:30 PM // 21:30

Well, Ive seen the Storm Bows, and those look reall cool, but it might be easier to get the celestial bow. Hmm.... What seems to be the most In-Demand-Skin these days? I want to make a lot of money off this bow if I sell it.

silverwing recurve, mursaat hornbow, zodiac longbow

dont feel no pain · Nov 10, 2007, 10:37 PM // 22:37

Ivory Bow Dyed White <3

Or Endgame nightfall bows - same thing

Note: this is fresh out of the screenies folder, no editing on bow.

masta_yoda · Nov 10, 2007, 10:38 PM // 22:38

most in demand silverwing recurve atm
your looking at about 100k+80 ectos for a r9

I Will Heal You Ally · Nov 10, 2007, 10:50 PM // 22:50

zodiac bow is very easy to get... everytime I do a deep I get 1-3 zod bows... might not be perfect but still

free_fall · Nov 11, 2007, 03:20 AM // 03:20

Celestial weapons drop in the Nahpui mission in Factions.

A lot depends on what type of bow you prefer to use - hornbow, longbow, recurve etc.

For hornbows, the Mursaat is quite nice-looking, as is the dragon hornbow.

For recurves, the azures get my vote.

Longbows, quite a nice variety there - Eternals, Storms, Zodiacs, Celestials. An amber long, dyed black, is quite stunning - looks like an Urghoz flat, without the disadvantage of being a flat.

Good list but Eternal = Recurve bow, not Longbow.

N E D M · Nov 11, 2007, 05:34 AM // 05:34

plagueborne hornbow, if you can find inscriptable

You're right, my bad; don't know how I managed that, especially now I recall being excited to discover that fact, as my ranger is partial to recurves.

I'd love to have a nice Eternal myself, if only they didn't cost so darn much.

Redvex · Nov 13, 2007, 11:58 AM // 11:58

I've Celestial (sold), Stormbow, Zodiac, Eternal, Mursaat, Silverwing (hierophant bow), Ironwing, Azure etc etc
I got all bow except for Tormented bow (

)
Imho the best among bow is Destroyer (mine is recurve) expecially with destroyer gauntlets. It's so rude and dark.
Among longbow i like storm and zodiac but imho tormented animation is better.
Silverwing is nice but to expensive (go for hierophant bow around 60-70k).
Mursaat is a SLOW SLOW hornbow that make me hate it (i've only for collection). Oh i forgot it has got 10% armor penetration WOW -_-'

I dunno why in hell would you put sundering on a bow... What a waste of mod slot.

Unless you find a rare bow very cheap, those mods wont make you get more for it.
