i heard that E-bow doesnt have a RA damage cap, which if true definately makes this bow worth buying... and plz all u noobs that say there is no damage cap, just stfu and dont bother saying ****, cuz there is...
just got it not to long ago its a great bow and i don't much care for S-bow since on a moon phase its bearly any range attack at all so E-bow is full power all the time and the delay is good also.
Just got mine. I stopped leveling RNG (58) until I got it. I didn't pay for it, just camped ES for weeks. I more or less lived in Fei'Yin for a while. Lost a lot of claims, got a few unlucky ones... But at the end of the day, I didn't pay 6 mil for it (going price on Pandemonium), and it's a fantastic bow. My friend got her Cross-Counters while we were there, too.
But of course, people would rather farm the gil and buy this bow from the gilsellers. That's fine too.
Hi All, Can someone please tell me what the price of an E-Bow on fairy is? I am debating whether or not i should return to the game, and am curious to the price. Thanks very much!
Picked up this bad boy on Garuda tonight for 7.5Mil. A few levels off yet, but you can go months without seeing these things pop up on the AH so wan't to be sure to grab it.
im selling this on Lakshmi for 7.5M-8M ill even lower the price down to 7M cause i want to sell this thing >.> you can buy it and resell it for 13M if u want. good bow to use too ^^
/sigh I'm a 75RNG on Ifrit... I have litterally everything a RNG needs... Behemoth rings, Crimson fgr. gauntlets, Dusk Trousers, Scouts Bracers and Beret, Suzzy's Sune-ate, Genbu's Kabuto, Othinus' Bow, Fransisca, Relic bow and Gun, Optical Hat, Amamet Mantle +1... EVERYTHING... I want this damn bow... but i swear that it pops purple on ifrit... its claimed before you can see it lol... its up to about 15,000,000G in price... I need like 8,000,000G more to buy... if anyone on Ifrit has a good deal for me, hook me up^^
Well, Went to camp this thing and saw that 3 others were there camping it. >.<
Went with:
65RDM/BLM 62RNG/THF 62WHM/BLM (me)
Anyway, we get there, Specter was there so we killed it. Other pops were claimed by other campers (75MNK/NIN, 75RDM/WAR, 70+PLD/WAR). Well, needless to say, my Flash claimed it as soon as it popped much to the torture of other campers (and we were there less than 30 minutes). Right place at the right time. After a pretty good fight (and to be honest, the BST NM Chost in Fei'Yin is harder IMO), the NM died, we got the bow to drop and we got the hell outta there!
Sorry for those that were there camping all that time, but claim fast and claim first!
Ever since i first got into to this game ive wanted one.......Theres nothing not to like about it. My main is RNG NIN and im really close to the lvl i can use it. Lvlin RNG without this baby would feel so incomplete. Its currently selling for 13.5mil on Titan server and rising steadily. My ls is gonna make it and event to get this NM to drop but im thinkin of callin it off......seein as its such a looooooooowwwwwwwww drop rate. Hmmmm but what to do in oreder to make that much gil? I'd be willing to do almsot any type of farming or w/e it is to get it. Please reply with some helpful hints or tips on making that much dough. Thanks a lot.
Well, I finally got my Eurytos' bow to drop about a week ago (check my sig for a pic -_^) and boy... talk about excitement. This is one of those items I've always wanted, but never had till 74RNG.
Vs. War bow+1 or Sarnga, there is no competition. Eurytos' blows them out of the water. For normal xp, Othinius' + Acid bolts will do better than Eurytos. However if you have a multi-rng party (I have not been the only ranger in a party since Lv70) Eurytos' seems to outdamage Othinius, providing the other ranger is using one to drop mob defense with Acids. I'm working on saving up for a PPA now, so I can't compare Eurytos + PPA to Othinius + GMB, but even without a CP arrow Sidewinder damage was still very good (1200-1600dmg vs. Ro'Maeve weapons, with BRD giving double Min. Note I don't have many of the other "uber" gears, nor is my character merited.)
Vs. Gods, Eurytos is still quite competitive. Accuracy is good, damage seems to be about 10 points lower than Hellfire (I don't have a +1), but rate of fire is significantly faster.
Is this bow worth spending 10million gil on? Unless you have ten times that, I would say no. I haven't tested it back-to-back vs the other bow options (Gendawa, no +1 on my server, Shigeto and Master Caster), but it's close to if not the single best archery weapon besides Futakotoro/Yoichiyumi. That being said, Othinius' is in general the best choice still for xp parties, and Hellfire+1 is probably still the best choice for gods. However, the quick delay and aesthetic appeal of this bow cannot be overlooked. In addition, it's a nice "conversation piece" to have for your ranger. Since I got the drop myself, it's personally a little special to me. Currently I'm keeping it, despite the fact that I don't think it's worth its selling price. It's renewed my love of archery and made me reconsider a lot of things I had planned out for merit/purchases endgame.
I just want to add bud to your Min example... Valor Minuit wont do anything for you RNG's Range attacks. Its purely Melee Attack. Maybe you are right but you are mistaking it for Prelude.
can anyone help me out? i need to know how to get my ranged accuracy up. what does AGI do? wat equipment should i buy? wats better AGI or ranged accuracy?
1 RA ACC doesn't give u any agility. RA ACC gives only RA ACC.
1 AGI does 2 things though. 1: it gives you 0.5 RA ACC, and 2: it increases your RA crit hit rate. So, 2 agi does give you one RA ACC.
If what you're trying to focus on is hitting more, and you have a choice between +5 RA ACC and +5 AGI, the +5 RA ACC will help you twice as much. AGI is nice because it increases crit hit rate, but I always go for RA ACC.
A number of parser logs have been posted on this site and on others. I don't care to look all the data up (some of it is 2 years old or more and not commonly found in English), but I will summarize it here:
1. Eurytos' Bow is clearly better than the War Bow +1. An average of around 10 damage better per shot, but no noticeable difference in accuracy. These are easy to compare because both are bows with similar delay.
2. Eurytos' Bow is, at best, slightly better than the Musketeer Gun +2. There have even been some parser logs which show the Musketeer Gun +2 to be slightly better. Ultimately, it is a personal preference, as some RNGs prefer bow over gun. Estimates on on twelve levels of bullets plus the cost of the Musketeer +2 versus twelve levels of Scorpion arrows plus the cost of the Eurytos' Bow shows a cost advantage of about 3-4 million gil for the gun.
3. Eurytos' Bow is clearly not as good as the Othinus Bow. Othinus averages out higher per shot, and accuracy is similar. Hellfire +1 versus Othinus Bow is where there is a real arguement brewing.
These numbers are usually calculated either by the same RNG using both weapons, or by two RNGs with very similar (in some cases, identical) equipment. The conclusion is inescapable: If you don't want to come up with all that gil for an Eurytos' Bow, then buy a Musketeer Gun +2. Mkae sure you find a friend or two and get the Othinus Bow at level 67 in either case.
Just running a rough statistic.. about 3~5% of RNG on fenrir between 55 and 67 have this bow ... i've found its acctually pretty compareable with Gun...so compareable i don't know why someone would pay 10mil for it, other than the fact they didn't want to spend 5mil on bullets between 52-67 ... ~_~
yeah, i want this bow badly but ill just have my lvl 70DRk friend who will prob do it cause all of his gear is already god like. and once he hits lvl 75 DRk he wants to be thf then he'll let me borrow his peacock charm witch ill use untill i buy the lvl 65 specs for my rng.
