  • Long Boomrang or Lighting Bow+1?

    Long Boomrang AGI+2 (Worth 3,000Gil)
    Lightning Bow+1 DEX+3 (Worth 350,000Gil)

    Yesterday after scanning ranged weapons I found the Lighting Bow+1 and quickly bought it. And as you can see in my avatar it looks pretty sick

    But what is better?

    Either one is going to help your SA/TA Stan, You bought the 350k item, if it doesnt impress you, switch to the 3k boomarang.

        I'd personally opt for more +DEX than +AGI. Keep the lightning bow+1 and when you hit 60 you'll be able to make some adjustments to your equipment for +ACC without taking as much of a hit to your +DEX.

        Edit: You're already thf59 ... *sigh* I need to work more on my thief.

            Currently THF/NIN.. I tried THF/WAR but without a BRD the TP gain is horrible and elvaan look horrible with 1 dagger.

            Here is a picture of current equip.. All thats left to change is Greed Scimitar for secondary hand and Amemet Mantle+1 at 61

                You going to drop your Harness to something that adds Dex or Agi?

                  Here's a cookie:



                  Because as far as I'm concerned, this thread is yet another disguised (perhaps unintentional) attempt to show off your equipment.

                      hmm I'm guessing that's lust dagger and hornetneedle.. but why use lust + greed instead of dual corsair's knife? so far I hear 2 corsair's knife works out better >.> perhaps not the same for elvaan though since we have slightly lower agi and dex

                      XD nice job on the lv54 HQ rings.. most people don't bother getting them since they're like 500k a piece x.x do you use snipers for TP charge as well?

                        i tred corsairs but 1. they look horrible 2. huge delay and not much damage difference.

                        I prefer lower delay daggers cause in the end the dmg is about the same

                        I have snipers and i tried using them.. Just not worth my time to switch them.. I don't notice much of a difference.

                          1. agreed (sadly)
                          2. isn't the overall delay higher with greed scimitar than using 2 daggers? also, thf is C skill for swords >.> maybe lust + corsairs..

                          I'll test snipers out for myself <.< I think their usefulness only comes later on for THF

                            lol yes he is showing off bigtime.... (Screenshot /w white borders wow)

                            Kind obvious?

                            Jealous? why should we be?


                            as far as I am concerned, dropp that greed schimitar and pick up another corsair until you can use a cermet kukri +1.

                            Longer delay , slower TP. (despite the fact sword skill is LOWER than dagger by 15 points?).

                            You will miss more /w greed than another dagger.

                            pick up some snipers and a pair of spectacles or peacock charm.

                            +ACC makes a huge difference in TP gaining.

                            I use both dex, agi earrings /w my +ACC set up too.

                              Comparing the Lightning +1 to the boomerang, obviously fuidama+3 is better than fuidama+2. At over ten times the price, it better be.

                              Comparing the standard Lightning to the boomerang, it's a tossup. Both have the same impact on fuidama, but bow requires ammo, and if you're pulling, carrying around extra ammo is rather annoying.
