PoP Bows, a question

[Tymoria Brightblade]

side question from one who has been away for awhile, has a bow been found (if not made) for every plane?
I know that nightmarewood is out there, but I would be rather happy to see one from Storms..............

PoP bows, a question

So far we have 5 bows for 5 planes here are a few links.

yes, I saw those, but it isnt readily apparent what plane each bow is from, a few are obvios (nightmarewood, Rallos)
but I wasnt sure on a couple of others, the bow of jer'Shon for example sounds like a wind or weather related one, but I just cant be sure, is it Storms?

[Jannelle Silverthorne]

There is the Nightmarewood from the first tier planes of Nightmare and Innovation.

Then there are the 4 Elemental bows from the 4 Elemental planes. There is no Crafted bow from Storms, but there is a dropped bow from there.

Have only been three made so far...

plane of water


plane of air


plane of nightmare


plane of fire, some parts found but not all yet

Wow... Hadn't seen the featherwood before that... well... blows. Even worse than the driftwood. (although admittedly the proc is better), lower damage ratio, less HP, not quite as good stats. (though STA is admittedly nice, all the rest are decidedly inferior), and it's speed is at the point where you start losing damage to human delay, matched with the lower damage ratio... (haven't actually taken the time to calculate if it has a better ratio w/ various arrows or not.)

NIGHTMAREWOOD is arguably better than featherwood. (if there was archery autoattack featherwood would be better damage ratio once arrows are accounted for, but without it you almost certainly lose more than that to human error/lag with the delay on the featherwood.)

Ya the air bow looks to be a good range slot item for rogues because of the agi methinks. Primordial has the dex which rangers would welcome. But as the only one i can even equip at this point is the nightmare, think i will hang on to my BFT for a good while yet.

If anyone knows someone who's made the featherwood bow, could the get a trivial confirmation, perchance? And a confirmation that the recipe I have on the site is accurate? I expect that the trivial is >250, but it'd be good to have confirmation.

Made by someone in Afterlife from the look of it, no idea if Mippo's the creator or just found it on AL's website and commented on it.

No confirmation in the thread as to recipe.

Mippo made it. I don't know if he made much note of the trivials and other information like that.

"Ya the air bow looks to be a good range slot item for rogues because of the agi methinks"

Lol.

Now, I'll be the first to admit I'm not a rogue, but I don't think even *they* have any use for agi. (as long as it's over 75, or wherever the point is you start getting a large AC penalty.)

Fairly sure current thought based on parsing is that agi pretty much serves no purpose whatsoever other than an almost insignificant improvement in avoidance ac. (well, and certain learning rates)

[Osprey]

Speaking as a rogue, no we don't have any use for agi.

We're under pretty much the same priorities the other melee are.

According to the screenshots above, driftwood bow is 29 / 28.

Nightmare is 30 / 36. PoA bow is 20 / 24.

The driftwood bow has a fairly significant advantage, ratio-wise, over the other two bows.

Did I miss something?

[Lithledana]

Nightmare isn't the same tier as the other 2 and should not be compared to the other 2 at all.

Driftwood bow has been upgraded and the screenshot link has been updated to show it.

Featherwood bow has been upgraded and has NOT had picture updated.

[Maena Bowyer]

Yeah, driftwood *used* to be what, 26/29?
