Player Points and Bows

[Vagabondbard]

If you had the player points to add to bonus or skills to a bow what would ya put on one?

Strength? Dex? Preception bonus/Ranks. Wisdom?

For a ranger and sighting is not needed.

I'd probably do ranged weapons bonus and dodge bonus.

Thanks droit didnt even think about those.

Dexterity bonus would be better as you'll add more AS and dexterity is factored into dodge 1:1

Except that 1) premium enhancives can't mix stats and skills, and 2) it's agility that factors into evade DS, not dexterity.

What Droit forgot to mention is he ended that polite pwning with an around the world and back snap:

I'd do dex and wisdom and try to put it in some boots, pinworn, or cloak. PP enhancives are account attuned and if you ever changed your weapon those stats would still help you.

EDIT: or DEX STR

:lol:

So would +5 Dex bonus +5 Agility bonus be the same? Or is it alot more to recharge that than +5 to Ranged Weapon Bonus and +5 to Dodge bonus?

or

am I completely off base and these things arent even rechargeable at the Adventure Guild.

Im thinking 10k in bounty points every two months. I can live with that.

Premium enhancives only enhance the STAT, not the bonus, so you could only get 2.5 DEX/AGI bonus from them (+5 to each stat). Thus, the ranged/dodge combo is twice as effective.

I don't really know what the recharge costs are, but you can check out this list I compiled to get a general idea of relative costs: http://forum.gsplayers.com/showthread.php?t=39905

Depending on your race and stats, you might like to get that strength up to fire a longbow in 3 seconds.

[AMUSED1]

Although, what you can do is get +7 DEX/+3 AGI. Or go +6/+4.

...which is still half as effective as the equivalent ranged/dodge combo.

[AMUSED1]

True. But I was speaking specifically stat wise if you wanted to boost just stats and have a boosted AS/DS from doing that.

I don't think this is right. Its 5 and 5 or just 7 to one. That my understanding of it.

EDIT: I stand corrected

[WRoss]

Why add dodge to a bow when you can just buy mine in the auctions folder?

No, he's right. You can do any combination that adds up to 10, but one bonus can not be greater than 7.

Wel that bow your selling is one of the few items that I dont need to buy for one of my characters.

and although I am sure you know why and are just plugging your sale but if you dont know then I will remind ya that my bow already is masterfully sighted...and its permanent.

Originally I had thought to add Wisdom and Strength to the bow and maybe spirit regen or stamina regen to make it like a Paladin bonded weapon/ black ora weapon but I thought to ask here instead.
