I got a basic question. Lets say I have 12 Marksmanship. Besides the obvious, what the difference between these bows:
Half-Moon piercing Damage 13-26 (req. 9 Marksmanship)
Half-Moon piercing Damage 13-26 (req. 12 Marksmanship)

Is there any benefit to using either because of the difference in Marksmanship?

Using the lower required Marksmanship would allow you to allocate your attribute points need to get from 9 to 12 in other areas.

Assuming you have 12 or more marksmanship, they will function identically. The 9 requirement gives you more flexibility, but lowering your marksmanship will lower your base bow damage regardless of weapon, anyway.

Like he said.

Also the only thing that the requirement do is if you are lower than that, it won't do the damage that are shown, but will do only 2-4, like a starting weapon.

The mods on the bow ( if you have any ) will apply if you are under the requirement, but will still do only 2-4 until you meet the requirement.

Hope it did help.
