Is Eurytos Bow worth the money?

[maytrix]

Just give it to me straight. No B.S. Is it that much (millions of gil worth) stronger than say a War Bow +1.

TIA

[Ascendancy]

if you have the money...yes buy it

if you dont have the money...dont sweat it. trivial difference. you are a rng and therefor you will still kick alot of ass.

[doogielu]

always wondered, how do those crazy mofo's afford those millions? camp for days on end and farm 24/7? i mean, i have a few hundred k on me from farming for a few weeks and i feel like i'm rich, but comeon, i see pple on my server running around with 5 mill worth of equipment on... and using expensive items like they were earth crystals or something. how'd they do it? *scratches head*

Hmmmm.. I guess I understand what you're saying Ascendancy if you have the money but if it (Eurytos Bow)is in actuality just a little stronger than a War Bow +1 wouldn't it make a lot more sense to stick with that bow and put that huge sum of money into something else? If there's something I'm missing please let me know.

[greysenn]

What else are you going to buy thats an upgrade? There isn't a whole heck of a lot of range in our gear

[maytrix]

See that I can understand. Looking at bows it would appear that this is in fact the strongest in the game. What I want to know is it worth bending over backwords in order to get it? Is it that much stronger? Or not?

Eurytos' Bow
Damage 71 Delay 490
Level 55
AGI+3 Ranged Accuracy+2 Ranged Attack+23

War Bow +1
Damage 66 Delay 524
Level 50
Ranged Accuracy+2 Ranged Attack+18



Here is the question.
Break them up differently.
How much are these stats worth to you?

-AGI+3 (250,000 for a Emp Hairpin)
-Ranged Attack +5 (how much is the Rare/EX Fransisca worth to you?)
-DMG Curve+5 (from lvl 40 battle bow to lvl 50 war bow its only DMG Curve+10 So, how much is this worth to you?)

Is doesnt get any more simpler then that. What is this worth to you? For me its worth 3,000,000 gil to increase dmg without going for guns at 9,000gil for 99 Bullets.

Can I afford it? No.

You must also note that there is NEW bow and xbow for higher lvl that is rare/ex. This I am guessing will make you sell this bow at lvl 7X when u can equip the new stuff with higher dmg.

The Eurytos' Bow is Just like Leeping Boots. You pay a PREMIUM for having higher stats, at a lower level.

I'm using Master Caster Bow right now. The damage is about the same as E-Bow except it fires a little slower, but it's also more accurate if you're a Windhurst citizen.

IMO, the E-bow is worth every penny at lvl 55, then it's value slowly fade as you level up. At lvl 70-71 where you can start using Hellfire and Master Caster Bow, I would value the E-bow @ 2 million at most.

Getting to Lvl 70-71 is a long way though, I got there with a War Bow +1 .

Also for some reason, the high lvl JP rangers from JP LS that my LS sometimes ally with are all using guns or the Ohtinuke X-Bow. These guys are very rich they could afford E-bow easily, something tells me that Marksmanship works better on HNM then Archery.

[poweryoga]

i say yes.

probably cost less than guns or even x-bow+darksteel bolts in the long run ayways, seeing how you'll be using this till lvl 75, and more since it'll probably be hard to get an alliance or 2 together to get you that lvl 75 rare/ex bow.

Dam the extra 6 dmg you have from the bow is better than Ranged Attack +23??

Eurytos' Bow

AGI+3 Ranged Accuracy+2 Ranged Attack+23

The Ebow also gives +3 STR.

I paid 2mil for it on Midgard, and I feel it was worth it. I do however wish there were a stronger bow around 70 or so. The Master Caster bow and the Shigeto bow are very nice, and if you get to that lvl without the Ebow I would get one of those instead, but they aren't upgrades.

[poweryoga]

mst.cst bow is crap if you're not windurstian.

no accuracy bonus, relatively large delay, and no stat bonuses of any kind.

Shigeto's bow is nice, but.... huge delay and no range acc bonus if you're not a samurai. 600 delay makes it shoot as slow as some scythes, and you'll certainly notice the delay difference....

not to mention you can't use those 2 bows in BCNM 70. :p

Very interesting qweezy. Wouldn't it then make sense to work on marksmanship from level 55 and up? I understand that bullets are expensive but surely 3+million gil would be more than enough to sustain gun and ammo costs for an extremely long time.

[poweryoga]

not as long as you think.

3 mil / 9000 (stack of silver bullets) = 333 stacks.

suppse you burn about 5 stacks a session, it'd be only 66 sessions. When it takes about 3-5 sessions for a single level, this sustains you for only 13 levels.

Note, you'll probably use more than only 5 stacks a session. So thats even less.... the money'd run out at lfrom lvl 50-60, and you still need to spend money on equipments afterwards.

What BCNM70?

There is no level cap in those battles.
