i got this for my Mithra (who has WAR level 5)and then while leveling, i almost never miss and usually it kills in one hit ^^ this is a fun bow! and im keeping it for RNG
Just to reaffirm that you need the sub craft at a higher lvl than just the cap to HQ these alot I'll tell you my outcome. The day was iceday, i was facing the right direction, and it was 10% moon and I even put on advanced synthesis support. My woodworking's 71 and bonecraft's at 11. Out of enough materials to make 12 longbows, I HQ'ed 0 and broke 1 synth losing all materials... so I ended up with 11 normal longbows (1-2k each). Looks like I'm not gonna try making longbows for money any time soon considering i lost about 130k in the process.
I can't say I have ever used this bow. But I do know that on my server, it costs about 30,000 gil. I suppose you could always sell it back for that, but really, when you will be using it for at most 7 levels for Ranger and 10 for something else, why would you waste the time? Go to the weapon shop in South Sandy and buy a regular Longbow for like 500 gil. It's not as nice, but considering you would likely solo until around level 12 (Hunter's Longbow for RNG), you probably don't need to worry about having yourself armed like whoa.
