Description

You must have an Archery skill of at least 250 and be at least level 72 to begin this quest. If you're ready to accept the mission, head to Windurst Woods and speak with Perih Vashai.

She will hand you a key item (Weapon Training Guide) as well as a bow, the Bow of Trials. You need to remove the latent effect off of it by participating in skillchains and performing weapon skills. The number of SCs and WSs you need to do goes by a strict point-based system:

Solo-WS or opening any level SC: 1 pt.

Close LVL1 SC: 2 pt.

Close LVL2 SC: 3 pt.

Close LVL3 SC: 5 pt.






- Total Needed: 300 pt.




- Participate in SCs until you've accumulated enough points for the latent effects on the Bow of Trials to dissappear. (Note: the text on the item description will remain, but the effects will expire)

After the latent effects are off of the Bow of Trials, return to Perih and trade her the bow. She will hand you yet another key item (Map to the Annals of Truth) and tell you to proceed to the Cape Teriggan.

Head to (G-7) and when your party is ready, touch the ???. An NM Bird named Stolas will appear. Defeat him. Once Stolas is dead, check the ??? again to receive yet another key item (Annals of Truth).

Now head back to Windurst Woods and speak with Perih again. After a short cutscene, you will receive your long-awaited prize: Empyreal Arrow!

This Bird NM hits abnormally quick and quite hard, not a mob to be taken lightly. Also kind of a bad pop spot, lotta link possabilty etc. Make sure u got your stuff together before trying this, for lack of undesired death.

Need to fix all the guides

Very important, evidently, it's only ONE point for starting ANY SC...

So a lot of the guides here are wrong

Caused me to miscalculate WS points when doing Savage Blade

After opening SC's (level 1,2 and 3) for 6 straight latent parties
and STILL having my latent active, I was thinking this was the case
OR that Blast Arrow (which includes a melee hit) doesn't count
toward the total at all.

that is exactly my question. i did my home work on this so bare with me. if you are lvl 75sam(like me^^) and have your archery capped at 230( Sams are 2nd in Archery only to Rng. C+ rating). Then Merit the hell out of your archery skill to 250. why wouldn't you be able to get this WSNM? the only requirments it says are that you have to have 250 skill lvl. it says nothing about being a Rng anywhere. i really want this WS for my Sam but i keep hearing that you need to be a Rng to get it. One last thing...Samurai's get the relic bow! why the hell couldn't we get this WSNM? someone please shine some light on this. NO opinions, i need facts. preferrably someone that actually had tried this or has this as a Sam. thanks

Archery weapon skills are only available to Rangers or a RNG sub. Thought you knew?

No. I can tell you, for sure, that you cannot do this. You may not obtain an weaponskill by means of merits/+skill gear that you cannot obtain naturally without +skill. Meaning that even if you play ranger and get the weaponskill, and then merit archery, you still cannot get the ws on samurai.

The bow of trials is also ranger-only. Even if it were an option, you'd have to play ranger to 72 for the quest.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 24 2006 at 4:37 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Do you HAVE to be a ranger to get this weapon skill or can u just sub ranger and still have it?

Only rangers can get and use weapon skills for both archery and marksmanship.
