i dunno if this thread has been posted since factions but i want to see all of your opinions on the beset bow skins.

here is the complete list(i may be missing a few)

longbows:
amber longbow-
bramble longbow-
celestial longbow-
composite bow-
dead bow-
eternal bow-
flatbow-
hornbow-
a.normal skin-
b.jade skin-
c.serpant head skin
iron wing bow-
ivory bow-
jade bow-
longbow(feathered)-
naga bow-
plagueborn bow-
platinum longbow-
shadow bow-
storm bow-
zodiac bow-

short bows:
bramble
halfmoon
regualr short bow
naga short bow

list your top 5-10(or all if you want, please at least 5 though) longbows. Since there arent that many short bows, give them a seperate list.

for me
1. storm bow - despite the drop in demand for these, storm bows are still the coolest looking bows imo.
2. zodiac bow
3. eternal bow
4. platinum bow
5. hornbow jade skin
*6. amber bow
*7. jade bow
*8. dead bow
9. bramble bow
10. ivory bow
11. feathered long bow
12. composite bow
13. hornbow normal skin
14. celestial bow - many like this skin but it just doesnt suit rangers imo.
15. plague born bow
16. shadow bow
17. ironwing bow - fugly i have no idea why peoplelike this skin
18. naga bow
19. flatbow
20. horn bow serpant skin head

* the amber, jade, and dead bows all look very similar. i put the amber at the top because it can be dyed. (looks great in green and silver)

shortbows:
1. bramble
2. halfmoon
3. naga
4. normal

'serpant head skin' is generally said to be dragon skin

i don't consider any to be the 'best.' my favorites are shadow and storm

KillerGuitar666 · Jun 07, 2006, 07:30 PM // 19:30

i like strom bows, the urgotz longbow skin, zodiac bow, and jade longbows

Lasher Dragon · Jun 07, 2006, 07:39 PM // 19:39

This is the coolest one I've ever seen:

Other than that, I am fond of the Bramble and Eternal skins. Also like the halfmoons.

milias · Jun 07, 2006, 07:47 PM // 19:47

I personally like the Mursaat and Zodiac skins. What can I say, I have expensive tastes...

Someone call Batman, i think he dropped something.

1. Urgoz's Longbow (I must have one. Too bad they'll cost you a limb.)
2. Bramble Long/Shortbow
3. Eternal Bow
4. Zodiac Bow
5. Ironwing Bow

SnipiousMax · Jun 07, 2006, 09:41 PM // 21:41

Personally, my favorite skin is the feathered long bow. Simple, earthy, and won't stick out like a freaking sore thumb if I'm trying to hide in the wilderness!

Valkyries · Jun 07, 2006, 09:52 PM // 21:52

Well I currently weird a Zodiac Longbow and a Half Moon Shortbow, and I like the skins on these both very much (the main reason I got them).

Personally I would absolutely love a Urgoz's Longbow but I dont think 100k+50 Ectos + whatever else you have to give is worth it. So Ill do the Elite mission in factions until one comes my way

So my top favorites are:
1) Urgoz
2) Zodiac
3) Half Moon

I also really like the Mursaat and Storm bows as honorable mention.

My 3 worst are:
1) Ironwing flatbow (I seriously really dislike this... I know a lot of ppl love it so great for them. IMO its awful)
2) Amber and Jade (really not a huge fan of these two at all. Definitely not worth the price some of them go for)
3) celestial bow (honestly someone explain to me why wielding Rainbow Bright's bow is a good thing)?? These are way overpriced and IMO look horrible. I'd rather have a Zodiac over 2 of these bows.

1. Mursaat Hornbow - Very unique
2. Fleshy Hornbow - Storm Bow shape w/o the plastic :P
3. Feathered Longbow - Simple, but stylish
4. Shadow/Ivory Bow - Again, simplicity ftw
5. Storm Bow - Ya, plastic :P but it's nice anyway

Gotta love the ironwing skin. If only it came in short and recurve versions, vamp on a longbow, bleh unless you've got a lot of mobs to barrage.

Maria The Princess · Jun 08, 2006, 04:15 AM // 04:15

khangaroo · Jun 08, 2006, 06:06 PM // 18:06

natus · Jun 08, 2006, 07:57 PM // 19:57

1. Good ol' "dragon" hornbow, i dunno why but i like it.

2. Amber bows, because they dye good, always liked deadbows but those seemed out of my reach.

3. Feathered longbow, because of the feathers and longliness(because it looks like a bow and not a spaceship)

4. Naga longbow, again because it looks like a bow, and i always liked the shortbow skin, these look like extended shortbows.

5. Zodiac bow, ok so it looks like a spaceship, but i kinda like it anyway.

captainccc · Jun 08, 2006, 08:02 PM // 20:02

Heres a pic. Its not my favorite skin but no publicity is bad publicity. Its on the auctions if you wanna buy it!!!!

I like the storm bow the best. Then eternal. Sorry factions bows doesnt please my sight much.

Lasher Dragon · Jun 08, 2006, 08:12 PM // 20:12

That is a very cool looking bow... I'd like it better if it didn't have the wheels on the ends or whatever they are.

Actually I lied earlier, the coolest looking bow I ever saw was the korean Coke promotion bow... that was awesome. I can't seem to find a pic now, but I remember being intensely jealous.

dargon · Jun 08, 2006, 11:33 PM // 23:33

Yeah, the scorpion bow did look pretty sweet.

captainccc · Jun 09, 2006, 01:44 AM // 01:44

Pics i wanna see!!!

Side note again- sold the bow for 50k. Ppl tell me if it was req 10 theyd pay 100 +80 ecto for it...*sigh* x 1000

Oh and i changed my mind. Shadow bow looks so awsome with my blk and white set up right now. White 15k druids, blk hair, blk cape, white emblem, blk bear, blk bow. It just looks uber =]
