Reading all these posts yall talking about Ebow's Axe's and other BS everything but the Fact at hand how these Arrows work. Any one know what makes the Add Effect actually work or are the just like the Add effect on Sword's and other stuff like that where it works 1/100 times if u lucky?
I can't seem to get the silence effect to kick in on these. I shot 70 somethin arrows at low lvl mobs, dc mobs, T mobs, even used them in ballista and not once did it silence the target.. any explanation for this? Was using lightning bow +1
Since additional damage by Holy Bolts is affected by MND, it could be that succesrate of these arrows is also affected by that. (In effect making it like casting spells)
And now you know why some Rangers are decked out in MND gear.
These can be a great thing to use for soloing tough mage type mobs. Good example... nm mages. Also almost all "melee" type jobs can use arrows, and many bolts. With lvled up archery and marksmanship on ranger, thief, and warrior so far i've done far more damage than I could've any other way, and gained tp far faster. People should use them more. Also using acid, and other bolts helped everyone else do more damage as well.
why is everyone so closed minded, ranger isnt the only job that uses arrows, thief is a good example of why to use these Lighting bow +1 for +3 dex and these go good together
yea i aggree with you there its not stated thought out the game only rngs can use archery thf are decent archer along with samurie well actually sam. are second best archers in the game
I use a bow with a low level war. It's prety much a 50/50 chance, and does more damage than 2-3 hits with swords my level(thats why i use a spear). Yeah wars arent above average but anyone could use it. Its a usefull tool.
Have you thought about useing a great axe, or even just a normal axe? They're the weapons warriors have the best rating in, and can put out quite a bit of damage.
Is there any point in crafting these? By the time a ranger is level 70, I imagine that they would be using either Othinus Bow + Darksteel Bolts or Hellfire + Silver Bullets.

Posted:Feb 05 2005 at 1:01 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) The e.bow has the hidden effect = gimped P.O.S. One of the Ranger in my static had it, and it didn't do much to help. In fact, he missed more often with it than with his xbow or gun. It's just for show, in many people's opinion, including mine.
Ebow is an endgame option for rng. Obow, Ebow, and HF(+1), are all 3 equally good. Obow is a support weapon bc the wide range of status effect bolts. HF is for pure damage.
what does Ebow have that Obow/HF dont? its affected directly by STR. a rng with Kirins Osode and a Wyrven Helm will outdamage a rng using a HF+1. o ya, and thx to the "target has moved out of range" nerf, HF isnt very good against Kirin anymore. but guess what is? o.O
Ebow after level 70 is one of the best possbile weapons in the game. The only thing that comes close is Hellfire. Though shooting straight Kabura or Demon Arrows and using PPA on Sidewinder/Arching Arrow, your damage will be substantially higher than that of Hellfire. The only thing that gun is better on over bow is the "hard" enemies; ones that have armor like bones and crab types.
