    Hmm... Killer Bow

    So, I checked Somepage on the new 75 Rare/Ex weapons with not-so-great stats. And I remembered Killer Bow was not introduced in the game .dat database for the first time.

    Here's my comment on Wiki's Killer bow talk page

    The interesting thing : Killer Bow is used to be a bow (Bow Icon from old Alla auto-collection database), and now is a crossbow (see somepage icon).

    I don't notice whether other new 75 ra/ex weapons also introduced long time ago with different stats. Is this a new possible relic / relic alternative?

    Sorry if my idea is not well-presented

    If they have done this with anything else this is the first I've heard of it. Although I suppose a remake of old weapons is necessary should the circumstances require a "tweak".

    They flushed out a lot of the unimplemented stuff in the dats. Also I think killer bow might now be one of the weapons from nyzul 100.

    In this recent March update?

    Hapernack : I think I've read somewhere here that Hoplites Dagger (or was it the other dagger around that level?) was also used to be sitting in the .dat, but not obtainable in game until one patch made it obtainable by players with "tweaked" stats

    Well I suppose doing little ninja-fixes like this to items wouldn't exactly be out of the question when we're talking about SE... they do have a passion for this sort of thing.

    On a related note, I just learned today that there's 2 currently available, and totally different items in the game with exactly the same name.

    Alot of those old .dat only weapons; swordbreaker, brave blade, etc. have been changed and seemingly placed in nyzul isle, killer bow isn't the only one.

    IIRC, Killer bow was introduced in the first a while ago, then on next (few?) updates, the item completely disappear from .dat, and now it's introduced again in the .dat file :/
    Hmm...
