1/22 !!! Ouch thats a terrible drop rate .

So far I am 4/27 with LS on bow killing the White Coney .

Run 1: 9 Claims
1/4
0/5

Run 2: 18/19 claims on a full moon cycle
1/13
1/2
1/2
0/1

Drop is real random for this bow . I have yet to try the black coney but I think drop rate is about the same from what I've been told . 4 RNGs sleep bolting and timing Weapon skills to go off just before a sleep bolt lands , makes short work of the white coney .

1/22!!! damn. I'm 0/10 so far. Everytime I saw the treasure chest show up after a kill my heart would stop, until I see "You find a slice of hare meat on the Black Coney". We were sharing spawn with another group there and they got it on their 4th kill. I'll keep trying but hate dragging people out there.

I decided to go for Black Coney when I logged in and saw the moon was close to "New". Ended up being myself (64rng/nin), two blm's (64+65) and a pld (64). I was hoping to be able to sleep bolt him to death, but when they stuck it wasn't for nearly long enough. The two blm's started Flare+Sleep cycling him, and after about 4-5 rounds, we killed him. No drop on that one.

Another claim 15 minutes later (it's almost exact, I'd say 15-17min after ToD) and this time he wasn't sleeping at all. Luckily some members of Skillz were after him too, and offered to help out. This one went down much quicker with a solid nin tank, and the bow dropped. They all were nice enough to pass, and I lotted for the nice lil bow.

Did 2912 on a sidewinder with no food or def down in Rolanberry. That seems like more than usual...was a new moon.

It's 15min. The spawn point was probably out of your sight when it popped.

EDIT: And when the hell are they gonna add it to the equipment list :P

Rng is my first job to 75 so naturally i dont even come close to having enough gil to get a Ebow. Even in my Hnmls i dont make that kinda gil :P. So, im gonna go after this NM cuz at level 68 rng using a 50 +1 bow is kinda imbarrassing and Sarnga just plainly sux. Hope i can get the drop ^^.

Location: Ul. Range, keep right, through tunnel, keep going right past raptors all the way to a dead end. You will be at K-9. This is the spawning area and has about 5 pop points.

Pop conditions: New Moon, Black Coney, Full Moon, White Coney, both drop Selene's bow. Trade a S'andorian Carrot to Rabbit Footprints and coney will pop. Spawn time is 15 minutes after last death. If you are there for the first pop, it will spawn in about 5 minutes after moon.

Black Coney: New moon - Spams AOE damage that can be blocked by utsemi. Dangerous special is a 200-400 dmg hit that goes through shadows and paralyzes.

White Coney: Full moon - Spams healing move. It will heal 800-1000, so either bring a lot of damage or keep it slept.

Ranger at 75, I was able to solo these with sleep bolts with minimal danger. Just be patient and don't try to weapon skill or barrage, just plug away at it. For reference, it takes about 125 sleep bolts to kill one, so they have about 9000 HP.

Hope this helps.

It only takes about 80 sleep arrows is using a shigeto bow. At least thats what it did for me.

How come this is listed when I search for it, but it's not listed in ranged weapons or in the list of weapons to equip. I want to update my equipment already.

Also, better than E.Bow or not this is the definitive bow for all us out there that don't have 5-10mil to drop on E.bow.

the price of the e-bow is falling because of this bow and rightly so 10 mil is nuts for any weapon. selean's bow will be rng weapon of choice and damm the gill buyers and sellers may you rot in hell.

Strange way to get this, though similar to one of the other posters here. I figured nobody would be after this because uleguerand range isn't a place you bring random people to for 1 fight. I drag 3 people out there (65 thf, 69 whm, 75 mnk) only to see 12 jp in an alliance camping this bunny. I told my friends to go after an hour because I didn't want to waste their time; I figured I'd come out here and if the alliance here is gonna take forever then I'll stay and solo the guy. After 3 hours of sitting there alone I invite a different friend to see if they can help. The jp alliance finally got 1 drop; they said they were 1/13 on it. They offered to ally with my party so we accepted. 2 rabbits later, mine drops. They let me have it, I am still amazed about it. This bow on full moon seems to ignore the distance factor in RACC entirely. I've yet to do more tests but the dmg is still good on full moon. I can't wait to try this on new moon with sushi or vs gods on full moon with atk food. May also need to base where you stand on moon phase from now on with this...
Good bow, second best in game (relics dont count)
# Aug 23 2005 at 9:33 AM Rating: Good
Took 5 kills of black coney with a 75 rdm/nin (me) and a 74 thf/nin. Easy fight, only death was when 2 rapters linked and a bst tried to "help" by charming (and failing) the rapter I had slept 7 times (that went over really well, now unsleepable rapter proceded to hit me from behind as the one with bio2 on it I was killing hit me from the front)

As to the stats. I found best Racc at full moon with best Ratk at new moon. However even at full moon when its Ratk is at its lowest it only does 10 less a hit then an Ebow for me, and at new moon it does 15-25 a hit more then an Ebow. Bottom line, Ebow is better overall because 1 more str and 3 agi, lower delay and only slightly less dmg overall so with the lower delay and bonus stats the ebow does better DOT, however the Selene's is considerably easier to get and IMHO Rare/ex items are cooler then ones that cost millions of gil because any moron can buy gil but not everyone can earn rare/ex stuff.

Bows effects
# Aug 21 2005 at 7:46 PM Rating: Decent
Ranged acc and attck acc are based on moon settuing as of seen by all here is the stats:

Full moon: +7acc rnged +7Attk Rnged
Quarter moon:+9acc rnged +5Attk rnged

that is how much i got from a Asian fellow player from a concention, on a full moon means its even stats and the both Acc un balance as the moon comes to full and departs from it, like a clock. So on full moons Bam +7 a pop for acc+attk on the bow i surpose its a far bow for rangers who dont wanna pay for the bling bling bows, this sucker is like casino, you win some you lose some
RE: Bows effects
# Aug 22 2005 at 6:23 AM Rating: Decent
From what I have seen and heard on this bow this isn't correct . Stats are its max RACC on Full moon with min Ratck and Max Ratck on new moon and min Racc . Basically like this

Full Moon : +9 Ranged Accuracy , +0 Ranged attack

New moon : +0 Ranged Accuracy , +9 Ranged attack

50% moon : +5 Ranged accuracy , +5 Ranged attack

It varies with moon percentages and you get max of one of the other stats depending on lowest and highest moon phases . Stats will increase and decreas as the moon is at different percentages also . Unsure but the max may also be higher then I have listed here , just going by what others has said and posted on various sites .

I managed to get this bow yesterday and still testing this but so far it seems right . Will take awhile to confirm this completely and everything is complete speculation with an item so new .

Your theory is consistant with what I have noticed while leveling with this bow, though I wouldn't be supprised if the values were higher. The only thing I'm sure of is that this bow consistantly hits harder and more accurately than my war bow +1.
I'm not sure we'll ever know the exact numbers, and if we did, I think it would take some of the fun out of it.

I guess being nice really pays off, my g/f and me went to kill the White bunny and a 75nin showed up while we were buffing up, so we were like ok cool w/e we'll just get the next pop in 15 minutes. Well we hasted the guy and go figure he was JP and /bowed to us like all courteous JP do lol. So he solo's the Nm no prob like its cake and gets drop, congrats to him he's 75rng and 75nin. So i go (Team up?) in autotranslate and he puts up his flag and says to invite him. w00 no chance of dying for my bow. So we pop it once, no drop ;; about 5 min before the tracks respawn 3 more Jp show up and our nin buddy starts talking in say to them. Musta said something beciase they let us have the next pop and i got my bow ^^;

got it easly~

we got that bow on our first kill....and it was kinda joke to kill that bunny lol

@spawntime:

well there is no real spawntime at all. there is a ??? moving up and down in a little area,u just trade a carrot to it and the NM pops...after u killed it wait 15 mins for next pop
RACC and RATT
# Aug 20 2005 at 2:07 PM Rating: Decent
anyone know how much RACC and RATT this bow gives?
i saw the post saying that it gives full RATT on new moons and full RACC on full moons... but how much exactly is "full RACC" and "full RATT"?
please help me~ thank you
RE: RACC and RATT
# Aug 21 2005 at 7:32 PM Rating: Decent

Well, here's an example;

Lets pretend that the Bow has a modifier of +10. What 'New Moon = Full R.ATT' would mean then is that the Bow you grant you R.ATT+10, R.ACC+0, and Full Moon = Full.ACC would be the opposite. So at 50% Moon, it would give R.ATT+5, R.ACC+5.

If the New/Full Moon post is right, then the question is how big the modifier is.

Hope that helped <(^^)^

You get better drop rates in a party, and the bigger the PT, the better.

(why did you think there were TEAMS of gilsellers camping drops... not only does it provide faster and safer killing, it also increases droprate.)

Teams don't mean much of anything honestly, when it comes to non-crystal based drops. I personally find drops to be far more common as a solo THF rather than in PT.
RE: 100%
# Sep 26 2005 at 7:41 PM Rating: Decent
i havent heard about this drop rate increasing in a party theory, but i do know that in an alliance, drops are less common. hence the reason HNM drops are so rare. however, if it is true, then the reason you expierence a lower drop rate while in a party is because in order for THII to kick in, THF has to deal the final blow. and since my thf hits anywhere from 0-45, and thats not much on a lvl 70 mob, thf barely scores the final blow. and im sure, if there is a drop rate increase, it wouldnt exceed that of THII because then thered be no reason for a thf in and NM party.

Actually I have notice being partied has an effect. I logged a few team farming runs with LS mates. Size doesn't matter, 2 people will work. The increase isn't much at all, but was enought to be statisticly unlikely to be coincidence. This was without any thf subs, to insure it didn't meddle with the odds.

Target for my testing was yagudo, we farmed necklaces.

The only information that I get about increasing drop rate is the number of THF or /THF that are in PT. Other than that I haven't noticed any increase in PT or solo as a matter. Just as an example my friends and I were killing goobbues in Sanctuary for cuttings and the drop rate was about the same when I soloed.
RE: 100%

Hmmm Don't think Treasure Hunter stacks so doesnt really matter on the number of thf's you have in a party.

Well I've certainly always thought that being in a party increases all drop rates...like getting more normal (non-crystal) drops than would be possible for one person (like 2-3 times as many on some occasions), maybe I'm wrong? I'll have to pay more attention next time I'm partying. :/

It most certainly is NOT 100% if a ranger gets the kill shot. My 2 ranger friends and I went 0/3 for getting it, they were the only ones killing.

I camped this a week or 2 ago.
Had 5 people with me.
72 BLM
72 WHM
74 RDM
74 BRD
63 RNG (me)

The skill the White Coney uses is a major pain.
1/5 was my drop rate.
We didn't stun it as much as we should have, but with some continuous light chains we were able to smack with down with some wonderful nuking from our RDM & BLM (Synistar & Kandykanez, you guys rock!)
So after 5 kills I got the bow. Good stuff.
I went from Musketeer +1 & Silver bullets to this bow & Demon Arrows.

As far as I can tell, New Moons seem to activate the accuracy piece, while Full Moons activate ranged attack, and each scales up and down the closer it is to each moon phase.
When in the sweet spot my damage was only about 10 under that of the gun & bullets on Processionaires in Boyahda Tree and that was near a new moon (~25% moon).

I'd definately recommend this as a suitable alternative to E.Bow.

Not random, just attentive and not lazy. All you have to do if you have this bow is remember to occasionally look at the moon phase and decide to use this or not depending on what phase it is and the current available effect for the weapon.

All you have to do is check the friggin' time and know your inventory to be effective with this bow; if your a RNG (read: "a good RNG"), you should already be quite skilled at managing extensive invetory by level 60, as that class has a tendency to carry several weapons and several types of ammo from the early stages.

I've found the bow to be pretty useful at both moon phases, though there certainly no reason not to compare damages at different moon phases.

Black coney also drops this bow. spawned the same way as white coney but on opposite moon. Black coney seemed to have a much better drop rate than white. We went about 0/6 before giving up on white. we're 3/4 on black coney. Happy hunting.
