Curse

I know it's very subjective, but I want to know what bows you think are the best looking in the game. Now that gwen is in full swing and most things have been found, I am thinking of upgrading my bows to match my new armor.
I need one long and one short or recurve for up close so if you could help me choose a skin, I'd appreciate. For reference I mostly use various flatbows, collector bows and an eternal. Now I'd like to use something nicer looking for long and a short vamp for up close.

So far, I still like the old Storm, Eternal bows and Zodiac Long bows. I am not sold on the destroyers, but I might grab one.

Any other suggestions and pics would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

My most favorite skin goes to Urgoz's Longbow, the unique one that looks like a tree^^, its the only weapon with that skin. It just looks awsome.

Then probably the Mursaat Hornbow since it all floaty and stuff.

I use a Norn Recurve and a Platinum Longbow... both favorite skins of mine. The Platinum bow has never enjoyed the popularity I personally think it deserves, but it has a beautifully simple form and large scale that I think is very appropriate for a longbow. I confess I'm very partial to items that are less popular--perhaps only because the most popular skins seem, in my opinion, the most garish and over-stylized.

no one likes any of the new bows...

i am looking at forging a destroyer, but i think i will regret if i do.

I like the look of the new Norn bows, got myself a recurve.

But i think im falling in love with the Silverwing Recurve Bows, such as the Bow of the Hierophant and the Bow of the Kinslayer.

Im also fond of the simplicity of the Asuran Recurve Bow. Very elegant.

I love the looks of the simple shadow bow from FoW!

I leaning toward zod or storm for long and a silverwing or something else for short/recurve. I have Eternal, Shadow and Elwyths with a shadow skin. Now I need something else.

Ill go classic with the storm bow. Back in the day, these were hot.

I personally love the Azure Recurve and Silverwing Recurve Bows. Also fond of the Drago's skin, just because of its size next to my not so big ranger.

Bramble Bow for me, I really like the look. Have a bramble flat bow and bramble short bow, both take dyes wonderfully and have a distinct look to them.

I also like my Azure recurve, the crystals sticking out are nice.

Oddly, I like the feathered lonbow/flatbow too. It's a very classic look, and it goes well with one of my favorite armours, ranger Ascalon armour. (Yeah, I like the pre-searing armour. One of my favorites.)

i like the Forgotten Flatbow skin (Ivory if i'm not mistaken)

but i think from the new skins, the hierophant bow looks very nice... too abd i just noticed it is not unique... now i'm not interested.

i respect your opinions gentlemen and ladies, but the urgoz longbow i've always found to be ugly. also, the bramble bow..too flat (one-dimensional). interesting to see that other ppl find them to be cool.

one of my favorites is the feathered longbow. it is a simple, slender, yet attractive bow from ascalon.

Aldric · Sep 21, 2007, 08:20 PM // 20:20

Currently my list would be :-

Standard Recurve / Drago's
Muursat Hornbow
Ironwing Longbow
Platinum Longbow
Bladed Recurve

Stranger The Ranger · Sep 21, 2007, 09:33 PM // 21:33

Recurve:
Bladed Recurve Bow
Death Bow

Long:
Amber Longbow (looks awesome dyed black)

Flat:
Ironwing Flatbow

Hornbow:
Mursaat ftw

Short:
Skull Shortbow
Norn Shortbow

I prefer simple, yet nice looking skins.
Plastic skins like Storm and Eternal have always been a big "no" for me...

Zodiac Longbow Ftw

Diddy bow · Sep 21, 2007, 11:11 PM // 23:11

Bladed recurve bow and Asura recurve bow are the best recurves imo
