I just hit lv 12 last nite and have been using the Self Bow +1 (Ranged Accuracy +3) but let me tell you this bow is Badass! I took down an Easy Prey crawler in saruta in one friggen shot!
He's a Notorious Monster. Thats why his strength is impossible to guage. I can't even get my TP to 100% from 58% when fighting him as a 30RDM/15THF. He's a wimp.

....hunter's long bow is as good as powerbow +1. used both, and they're the same. Powerbow+1 does more damage but the hunters bows extra speed puts it on par with it. It by no means "sucks"
On my server, that powerbow +1 costs 30k, I dontknow how it sells so cheep on your server.
Besides, the way a Ranger is suppose to be played is by always having the best equimpment, otherwise whats the point of playing the class. Its like being a lvl 41 Rdm and not getting refresh.
This bow is great from level 12 until level 30, actually. The Power Bow +1 does have higher base dmg, but the Hunter's Bow is faster and the dmg per shot is only slightly lower. With the type of Ranged Accuracy equipment you get below level 30 you'd do well to use this bow, and just upgrade to a Great Bow +1 as soon as you hit 30.
I bought my Great Bow +1 when I was level 27, and went to Yhoater with it in inv, I got the three levels in one day, and switched bows. Doing it that way I was able to easily afford all my other +1 gear. I have all the best gear a RNG my level can have, except for the emporor's hairpin and the strider/leaping boots.
The hard part about this is the amount of Yagudos hanging around the area, since they link. Easy mob, this drop is less common then the Light Soleas (3.5k on Diabolos). This bow goes for 10k on Diabolos.
