 | Your best bow I just made a new archer/stealth character and was wondering what traits make a really good all around pvp bow and pvm bow. If you could post stats on your best and how you use them effectively id appreciate it. |

 | Re: Your best bow For PvP, BALANCED. \\Best two bows I ever made / sold / gave away were made from Yew kits. Light X-Bow (Shadow has this now) 36 Velocity 40 Fireball 50 DI 20 SSI 20 HCI SOld this one to a PvP friend. 40 DI 30SSI Balanced 12 HCI 35 Velocity S/C, no - (yup, that;s 6 properties. yew kit can give up to 5. The DI in this case was free from gm bowyer/ arms lore.)

| Re: Your best bow I prefer em. But many use the heavy for dismount. Alot of folks appear to switch between. For PvM the crushing blow is really nice. Especially against peerless that dont have a slayer weakness. Velocity is a distance from target based effect. It adds ALOT of damage. We have this description of velocity in the item FAQ: "Velocity" Intensity range:1-50? (needs to be verified with heartwood runic, anyone want to donate one for the cause?) Found on: Runic crafted bows and M'arties Additional to hit property akin to on hit lightning, but ALOT more damage (60-72 damage). Damage ranges are based on distance from the target. Farther away, more damage dealt. The % range is the chance for velocity to activate."

| Re: Your best bow Let's ask this question a different way: What are the absolute minimum requirements for a good/great (not average, not uber) bow? I'm talking properties here... My thoughts are, in order: 1) SSI >20 2) Mana leech >30 3) DI >35 4) ? And you want to have at least two of the top 3. |

Sadly, I don't make bows due to the fact I don't play UO much anymore, but if I can find some of my old bows in my house I will pos them here. ~Dentrix
