Hi there,

I want to get hold of Max Damage Storm Bow (15-28, req 12 or less) with at least two of the following mods:

Poisoner's String, Fiery String, Of Defense (+5), Of Fortitude (+24 health or more).

Also i'd like it to have a +% to damage if...
less than 50% health, or greater than 50% health, or Vs Hexed, or just a straight +% to damage.

I dont want a bow with any negatives (like -10 armour or -1 health or energy regen rates).

My ideal bow would be a Fiery Storm Bow of Defense (+5) with +10% or more damage under a certain condition.

I dont care if the bow is gold, purple or blue.

Lastly, i am only a casual player without much time to farm (though i have nothing at all against people who do choose to farm) or obtain stupid amounts of gold, so i am looking to buy this at a sensible price, not the silly mega-rich OTT prices you see everywhere these days.
If the bow meets my perfect conditions, i could probably go as far as 10-15k(this is where many laugh, i'm sure, but there may be a reasonable player out there who does not care about gold all that much).

Thanks for your time,

Ferret.

so how come you gotta bash people for making money? i'd like to buy that same storm bow from you for 10k. NO, you'd jump on that band wagon and sell it for upwards to 50-125k in a split second. don't deny it. just because you can't afford what others can, doesn't mean they are being ripped off. people pay for items and that payment is based on how much they value the item.

I have a good storm bow for sale that meets your preferences, but when i read your little rant about how people rip others off on rare / exotic items, that just turned me off.

stop asking for sympathy, you just want a handout and you know it. people play alot to obtain items like this, do you think storm bows drop from the sky?

Actually i have given a lot of things away to new players, often free of charge or very cheap, including some near max damage bows.

I dont actually have a storm bow and that is why i'm asking for one. I wouldnt sell anything for the ridiculous prices that are often asked for, mostly just out of the principle of it.
I dont think i actually have anything worth that much anyway, but even if i did, i doubt i would ever sell it for what it could be worth because i'd probably always under mark it.
I'm not asking for sympathy, just regular, friendly, co-op players to sell me something the dont need without asking the earth for it and trying to make it clear that i dont want the 50k plus crowd wasting their time when i wont be able to buy it off of them.
I'd even be happy to buy all the parts seperately, like i said, it doesnt have to be a gold or purple weapon.

I thank you for at least taking the time to reply, even if you were not willing to help me find a bow of this type.

Ferret.

I hear ya but your route about asking for it seems in appropriate, your post comes off a little gruff against farmers. I do farm for items ... and sell them dirt cheap to people I know or meet in game. they can flip them if they want but to me it doesn't matter cause the space is more valuable. I have a 11% max damage in stance storm bow ... but I suggest I thing for you ... just look for the bow ... not the add ons ... you can always over write those addons.

Sundering Storm Bow of Enchanting
15-28 (req. 11 Marks)
+11% dmg (while in stance)
armor penetration 10% (5% chance using skills)
enchantments last 11% longer

*I dont have any other mods or I would have changed them, the enchants works with conjure rangers though.

Yeah, sorry about that, i dont have a problem with farmers at all, just these really high prices that most just cant afford. If drops and farming were better, i'm sure prices would be too

How much do you want for this Storm Bow (Pm me if you dont want it public), i'm not sure the dmg mod helps because i dont have any stances, but the rest can certainly be re-modded, as you say.

Thanks,

Ferret.

I dont mind posting in here ... anyways your really should look into some more of the ranger skills for stances. Tigers Fury, Serpents Quickness, Lightning Reflexes, Whirling Defense, Dryders Defense, Dodge you name it. These are all very useful in all situations (pve pvp and underworld).

Pricewise I was looking for 12K-20K ... but havent had the time to try sell it as ... well I'm farming and training someone else to farm

Ferret · Aug 04, 2005, 05:00 PM // 17:00

Serpent's Quickness is a stance! Actually, i do use that a lot, so maybe not as bad.

As for the bow, i'll have to get back to you on that, it's still a little bit more than i can pay for something that still needs a lot of modding for what i want, but you never know, i may come into some gold now i've got to the desert and be able to raise the extra cash

Thanks,

Ferret.
