Anyone know what category an "Ascalon bow" is in?

Savio · Nov 22, 2005, 05:37 PM // 17:37

There are several types of Ascalon bows. It depends on the collector it came from, or if you don't remember that you can test it yourself.

I think there should be a thread already regarding bow performances.

Athis Strider · Nov 22, 2005, 08:12 PM // 20:12

Has anyone compiled a comprehensive list of collector bows, location, and what is required to obtain them?

If so can you guys post a link. I would love to go out and start collecting!

shortbow is the fastest bow in reloading plus short range

lomgbow and flat is the longest range but flat is faster the long but both shot can be easily evaded because of not straight shot.

composite and recurve bows are middle range and as longbow speed exactly but both have very fast shot speed and with fav wind spirit any shot from them cannot be evaded or run away from their shots.

ivory bow or shadow is the slowest reload speed and i have no idea why are they too bad and why r they in the game.

I hate longbows.

I decided to use one in Arena for the first time instead of my usual shortbow. That damned monk just strafed left and right constantly.
He knew i couldn't hit him.

Remember that when you pick up a longbow, lol.

Arturo02 · Nov 22, 2005, 10:23 PM // 22:23

use a flatbow for pvp T-D, you will have better success.
