You're making me hungry. Mac 'n' Cheeze>All.

And yes, it should take about two seconds to figure out what sort of bow it is; I'm assuming you know from its range that its either Flatbow or Longbow, so next time you fire, watch the arc. If the arc is insanely high, Flatbow. If not, Longbow.

When I earn my first 15k it'll be Max Gold Longbow 15>50 I guess.

Just wanted to let ya know that there is an easy way to know which type of collector bow you have when you don't know what it is.

Go to the Great Temple of Balthazar in the Isle of The Nameless, and there is a Bow Range. You stand on the marker (circle with a cone in the middle) and the wooden targets have names like "short bow target" "Long Bow Target" so on and so forth.

I hate the skin on these bows. Thats one thing this game needs is more skins for everything, including armor.

Another way to test is to fire your bow, and immediately walk away from the computer. Head over to your stove and begin boiling some water, and familiarize yourself with the instructions on the side of the box. This usually involves pouring the macaroni into the boiling water and eventually adding the cheez. You may wish to add other ingredients as well, at your discretion.

Once you are done eating your mac n cheez, head back to the computer. If you are using a flatbow, your arrow should be hitting your target right about now.

Or to make things even quicker... use Guildwiki. The Flatbows are not 15^50. Hence why i have a crappy Longbow status Ascalon Bow...

Hi Sha

Nice guide by the way. I am a bow ranger (as opposed to being a trap ranger) of considerable experience, especially in FoW and I was surprised that I could still learn a few tricks. For that I thank you.

As for the Bow saga .............. hmm, well. If you are happy with whatever bow you have and are used to its pros and cons then it really does'nt matter what you use, the same goes for certain skills.

What bow do I use? ............. Drago's Flatbow (old version) and I have done since I was a mere level 17, many, many, many months ago. For me it does everything I want from a bow. Plus I worked damm hard to win that bow in a fight.

When I use Apply Poison, I just love to see the high arc of a green trail from an arrow just before it hits the target (also useful for your team members to see which enemy you are targeting), and as for Barrage whilst firing from an elevated position, seeing six arrows fall from on high into a pack of enemies to me is awesome.

At the end of the day, we all have our own preferences on bows, armours, skills to be carried etc ................ Its a good job really, otherwise GW would be ever so boring and samey.

Hi there Dana.

That's my favorite thing about using a Flatbow too; shooting from high ground and watching a flaming arrow just sail accross the battlefield a mile away. Too great... assuming the opponent wasn't moving.
