I'm confuzzled.

What is the difference between, for example, a longbow and a feathered long bow?

Thanks

Stayfrosty · Feb 02, 2006, 05:51 PM // 17:51

just physical appearance

rocketspeed · Feb 02, 2006, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Ahh...

and is one rarer / more favourable than the other?

Wrath Of Dragons · Feb 02, 2006, 06:24 PM // 18:24

yep. feathered is rarer then the normal

Skuld · Feb 02, 2006, 06:24 PM // 18:24

Yes, the feathery appearence ones are rarer

Valerius · Feb 02, 2006, 11:39 PM // 23:39

there are three different types of skins for a Longbow

Numa Pompilius · Feb 02, 2006, 11:58 PM // 23:58

FOUR different skins for longbow:

Two April Mornings · Feb 03, 2006, 12:22 AM // 00:22

for the guy asksing: 3rd skin of Valerius's post will often be found and called flesh horn. and the pic above is often a dead bow.

Fyre Brand · Feb 03, 2006, 12:34 AM // 00:34

The half-moon skin is used for a longbow as a pre-sear quest reward also. It's the bow I use for my non-ranger characters to pull with since it has longbow range and no req.

Numa Pompilius · Feb 03, 2006, 01:24 AM // 01:24

I thought all pre-sear bows were longbows, regardless of skin?

Savio · Feb 03, 2006, 01:29 AM // 01:29

Quest reward/collector Long Bow skins con't count because they're weird like that. You'll find all kinds of funky/"wrong" skins on quest rewards and collector items.

Valerius · Feb 03, 2006, 01:35 AM // 01:35

yeah i wasn't including Quest Reward Longbows cause' there are tons of skins for those... the ones i showed are droppable from chests and certain mobs

Linkusmax · Feb 03, 2006, 05:48 AM // 05:48

What About the Storm Bow from Underworld. That would make 5 yes?

well... we're talking about Longbows with different skins... the Stormbow is different bow but same class

Soul Shaker · Feb 03, 2006, 06:50 AM // 06:50

also add crafter longbows. it's the most generic skin after flatbow. you'll see it on pvp recurves and some collectors. i know that the pre-sear, yaks and LA crafter's have it.

I believe those are the Ascalon bows...or at least the same skin

Storm Bows and Longbows are counted as different BUT share the same class stats.

Dead Bows are a totally different class of bows.

fiery · Feb 03, 2006, 03:03 PM // 15:03

ok other bows without LONG in it is a diffrent genre or class than the actually long bow..not storm/eternal/short/recurve/flat

Manic Smile · Feb 04, 2006, 03:39 AM // 03:39

ah k, makes sense

can't count the Ascalon/collector ones then either
