Question about Ranged Weaponry.Follow

#1 Nov 11 2004 at 11:25 AM Rating: Decent
I cannot seem to find anyone selling a bow in-game. With myself desiring to be a ranger, I crave the usefullness of this weapon.

I've found throwing knives, axes, shurikens, ect...

I choose Qeynos as my starting city, I am currently doing my citizenship quest and am stationed in Willowood.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,

Shan

I got a bow today as a Quest reward. I think it was a quest to collect hawk feathers. Eldar Grove?? Sorry for the vague info. However, I can't use the bow, I don't have the experience to use it yet.

UPDATE-- Go here for the quest.

The quested bow mentioned earlier would be Bryson's Bow or something like that, IIRC. In beta there were a few people that sold bows in the game, though I haven't made it to Qeynos yet to check it out. They were named "Bowyer ~name~here~".

When you get into it, you'll find that bows are bit a different in EQ2... they are basically artillery. Heavy hitting, but slow, and damn expensive to fire. Cheapest arrow I found was around 2c, but they didn't put those in until close to the end of beta. For an example of damage, I seem to remember Bryson's Bow hitting for something like 25-110 with 7.0 second delay. It was great for my warrior to pull with. =)

Gregor's Old Bow is what you're thinking about. He's in the bowyer shop in Eldar Grove. It's actually pretty nice for a noob weapon, with decent stat boosts on it.
