I was able to find a Plumed Willow Shortbow last night in a bazaar on Figaro for about 200k. The difference between this and maple bow is huge, even not being optimal rank. It fires so much faster than the longbow, and the accuracy is a huge improvement.

Yea I'm thinking the shortbow sub-type is the superior class. While it may not have the entire per-hit damage as the Longbow equivalents, the accuracy and attack speed more than make up for it.

Unfortunately, the longbows generally look more badass.

lol yeah i feel like the plumed bow is just the starter bow with 2 shitty feathers around where the bow shoots out of

I dunno, it was a good change having a small bow rather than having one the size of my entire fucking body.

Have you seen the tortoiseshell longbow?
Edit: apparently the tortoiseshell bow is composite. Oops

[Xone]

If anyone finds one on Seronia server let me know.

[Fayttt]

Nah, I haven't seen the tortoiseshell bow. Is there a model viewer or something I'm missing? >_>

That's what she said.

Oh, I think I've seen that bow now lol.
Does look pretty beast.

Any developments on the new arrows? In the manual they mention how we can shoot different types to optimize damage against different foes.

I'd have to say at this point this is one of the least things on the priority list for SE

So.. Has anyone found a use for Trifurcate because it just feels like a worthless ability to me?

Aw, don't say that. Been looking forward to this ability. Seemed like another Multishot.

[Rammses]

Is Heavy Shot any good?

Hmm why you feel its worthless? Its a multishot but nocks all three arrows in one click. Uses MP but for now just using multishot/trifurcate when doing leves or in sp party if party is in trouble. You get crap from other members ("you are stealing other members sp", "archer is bugged" etc) if use constantly in party play. This is understandable if enemy is weak, but sp mobs usually have lots of hp so multishotting isnt so significant factor in my opinion, it uses light shot anyway.

Yeah, definitely worth getting. Ups dmg a fair bit and so getting better SP per hit. Cant be used with multishot and trifurcate, so only using light shot for those. After getting heavy shot, light shot seems really a light shot.

Yes, ok, maybe I was exaggerating a fair bit, but other than when you're in sudden need of burst damage I'd say Multishot handles it well. The difference in stamina used is marginal and you don't have to worry about your mana. I'm mostly disappointed as I expected more from it, as in perhaps added damae.

[Anton]

Setting up another multi during a fight is a pain. For sure you want to open with it - it gives you the initial SP to start using your abilities, especially if you're going to quick nock at some point, but just using the move pulls hate. I see trifuricate as an emergency move when you don't have the time to multi twice.

As they say, if the house is a-rockin', don' bother nockin

[Prasch]

Do archers have any pants that favor them? So far all I've seen are the weathered/hempen/cotton/canvas/velveteen chausses.

[ArchDizzle]

I am sporting cotton kecks atm.

[Carraway]

I recommend the Trousers line of legwear. Good defense, STR/VIT as additional stats, suited for all classes.
