Has anyone seen this bow drop recently? Dagarn has been camped and killed continuously for some time on the Rathe and after more than a dozen kills in a row the bow has not dropped. Starting to think they must have nerfed this drop.

I picked this up off of Fabled Dagarn the Destroyer Tuesday morning around 1am on Luclin server, I caught him up after that 24 hour maintenence(a number of hours after server came back up). My first and only kill I was thrilled to have it. 77 ranger when received.
I hope to catch him up again to get another of these medieval machine guns for a friend, but it's safe to assume picking up a second bow(not to mention catching him up at all) is like hoping for an earthquake during a hurricane, just plain unlikely.
Any bow can headshot, but time, as they say, is money. You can clear the typical headshot spot with a 24 delay bow, but putting them down faster is always better.
I'd reccomend this bow to anyone, and I hope those camping Dag get it.
Happy Headshotting. And good luck rangers.

Am I the only to notice that it says skill: 1hs attack in a range slot? So with that logic, does that mean the bow slashes when you fire, or that the arrows have a slashing attack modifier rofl. Nice either way, but I'll stick with my current bow. Fun to fool around with, but I'd never take such a weak hitter..even with the best aug.
Are there any rangers left that actually know how to play a ranger (shy of myself and a few scant ancient vets here and there)? I swear I've never seen so many PL'd idiot newbs blabbing about HS this..HS that..to them I say STFU and go back to whatever class you started on. If you play a ranger and all you can do is range undercons all day, well I'm sorry but you just plain suck. Period. HS should be a last resort, not your primary means of killing..besides even a quick bow like this one pales in comparison to a half-second cast time (or less) of an archery-based spell that will hit your mob with a headshot far quicker that any bow in EQ. The more you know, the less stupid you look to people who know better. A real ranger can melee as well as they range. A wannabe ranger sits in a green-con zone thinking they are something special b/c they can kill a trivial mob with a HS lmao...morons. I guess they are too used to playing X-box or PS3 and the instant gratification that goes along with not having to actually develop a character.
1 post
Haha, my guess is you either dont have the bow, or your affraid Sony is gonna nerf HS because of the new players. All classes get this when a skill is OP, same with SKs swarming. If you made a SK, are you telling me you are not gonna swarm. Some people have played another class 13 years and make an alt ranger, so sure they will use the easy skills to get levels and AA, and so would you MORON.

No, actually I wouldn't, because unlike you and so many others who have no patience and are instant gratification junkies..I enjoy the content of EQ. If you'd just take your time and enjoy the content of the game, instead of trying to level to 100 overnight or get all your aa's through HS, then maybe you'd see my point...this is EVERquest..not INTSAquest...and I'm the moron? Go back to WoW newb. Yes I have this bow..and yes it hangs on my wall in my house where it belongs at my level. I couldn't give a sh*t less if they nerf HS. Actually I'd welcome it..there's too many crappy rangers out there as it is. Sk's shouldn't need to swarm..rangers shouldn't need to HS...but it is what it is. If that pisses you off..c'est la vie :P

Posted: Aug 10 2004 at 2:08 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) i have this bow on my ranger and i would say it is most likely the same dps as a stonewood. the stonewood has a higher damage/delay ratio than the BotD but the BotD is faster so it has more chances to add your damage bonus for the bow and the arrow. In the end you either see big chunks of hp missing on the mob or a faster gradual loss of hp on them. It still really ends up being the same.

As someone who tries to play their ranger to his fullest potential, sure, I'd want this bow. A ranger at higher levels needs a number of different bows for different situations... your 250 range cultural bow with a 170 range arrow means you can hit from well beyond missile range, spell range, practically even aggro range. =) For typical killing after 61, you want a featherwood compound bow or primordial driftwood compound bow. When you really want to hit hard, you want a stonewood compound bow.
Where you want this bow is soloing. With Headshot and Endless Quiver AA, a Fleeting Quiver, and 40 or 41% haste, you will mow down greenies, light blues and even lower level dark blues mighty fast. The more arrows you put out, the more opportunity for that 32K hit. With a primordial driftwood bow I mow through Dulak's and Nadox and Sebilis pretty quick... with this little number, I could make 65 wizzy farmers weep.
If there is a choice of who this bow should go to in an NToV raid, the Headshot ranger should logically get first dibs. This is icing for a warrior or rogue. For a ranger, it makes him a viable farmer and soloist in zones where he can still get decent AA xp with it.
It would be interesting to see this bow with the Force of Ykesha (125dd + stun) augment on it, though I suspect that would get you summoned and squashed pretty fast. Even without an aggro process, when you are in a dungeon zone, you can end up getting a wee bit too much hate with a good bow (as I discovered when I did 7100 damage to the fabled solusek goblin king in 12 seconds with a primordial driftwood bow, blessed champion arrows, a fleeting quiver, swiftwind, speed of vallon, and trueshot disc).
Now if only undead, cragwalkers, geonids, giants, rockhoppers, and wyverns were considered "humanoid"

I'm looking at this bow for a 91 ranger. In 2012, does Fleeting Quiver, EQ or any kind of haste really increase your probability of successful headshots? I was told that when one has EQ, the quiver haste does not stack.

EQ is just that, endless quiver...an aa...has nothing to do with haste at all.
Last time I parsed quivers, they had an effect. However, recent parses show better WR is not always more shots, depending on bow delay.
From the post at: http://everquest.allakhazam.com/forum.html?forum=1&mid=1308396211121867581&h=100&p=1#13
EQ (Endless Quiver) shouldn't matter. I think Headshot is a proc-like effect, so even hastes of any type therefore wouldn't affect the proc rate, but Weapon Affinity, Combat Effects, and the like would. Trick shot may help, depending on whether the proc rate is adjusted for it or not, as it is for haste effects. The way I remember it, Weapon Affinity was when I finallly started seeing a better rate of Headshots, and of course the Hail of Arrows line of spells. Since Headshot now only works on the current target, AEs like HoA don't really help that much, but probably still do increase the rate, just not like before, where you could get 4 Headshots on a single HoA cast. I'm sure if you look into it at the EQOutrider web-site, you'll be able to find the information.
Sorry, I didn't give an answer with certainty, but it's been quite a while, and recent (last year or two) parses are shedding new light on the situation, bugs and all.
Hope this helps some.

I just got this bow last night also, and I can tell you with Swiftwind, Fleeting Quiver, and Vallons it is incredibly fast. There is no delay at all between arrows, they fly as fast as I can click ( ok maybe .3 second delay). The only bad part about this bow is I dont have EQ yet and ran out of arrows in no time. But this has at least answered my question to go for Archery Mastery or Endless Quiver first.

62 ranger here. Picked it up last night so it wouldn't rot and decided to give it a shot.
EQ, AM1, fleeting quiver, swiftwind, prismatic(avatar), eyepatch of plunder.
normal hits are between 45-90. common lows are down to 3 & 4. common highs 150+, uncommon highs around 250. On a dragon in Ntov with trueshot high crit was 568.
all in all, not bad at all for the amount of dmg and the quickness of it. i'm putting it away til i get AM3 though. i'm already impressed with it, can't wait to play with it again in 13aa

I've never seen a bow before with delay under 30. In the high end game, in which rangers use bows to do lots of damage, would a delay this low be desirable? Or would you want a good ratio with high delay for the dmg bonus? Not knowing what crits and cripples are based off of (dmg, dmg bonus, dex, the color of your shoes) I wouldnt know.
Haste cap or not I'ld like to see what a endless quiver/ max aaxp in bow skills ranger with a 15 damage or better arrow in his ammo slot would say about using this bow along with the others.

#dilthanas,
Posted: Sep 30 2002 at 4:59 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Looking at some of this drivel from rangers its scares me.
actually, there is no delay cap, but there is a haste cap. at 60 with quiver + item + spell haste, your haste is capped at 100% (2x the attack frequency). not sure if haste caps increase 61+. the only way you'll clear 100% is through bard v3 haste/overhaste("ervaj" and "battlecry of the vah shir" songs only), or through overhaste AAs/discs. monks have an overhaste /disc. rangers get the PoP AA 48 second wolf form overhaste.
so, to my knowledge, the haste cap has remained the same, but you can break it with overhaste. oh, and it's pretty cool that with the PoA ranger cloak (50% clicky spell haste) and our epic (40% item haste) and a Fleeting Quiver (20% bow haste), we will always be pegged at the haste cap when using a bow. and we'll come within 10% of it when not.

Actually, the haste cap is for melee. For bows the melee haste cap applies as far as spells/items/songs, but then you can ADD the quiver haste. So, if your haste cap is 74%, and you have 22% haste item and a 60% haste spell on, you'll have 74% haste swinging your sword. But then I get 11% haste from my quiver, so my bow will be at 85% haste. Quiver haste will push you over level haste cap

Windsaber is 23/13
Using swiftwind and AQ haste, thats down to 11.5/13 (Assuming max haste of 100%)
This bow is 17/10
Using Swiftwind with AQ haste thats down to 10/10 (no delay below 10)
The maximum damage with this bow for a normal, moving target, is 87.25 Static Target 174.5 TS Static Target 349
The Best Damage with WindSaber is 102.1/204.2/408.4
(I have used the 10 dam arrows, but eliminated the elemental damage for now)
Comparing just the delay for a moment, 11/5 vs 10 with max haste, yes the Bow of the Destroyer is slightly better, however that 3 damage makes a huge difference at L60.
Incedentally, with 105% haste, the delay's would be virtually identical...

The 'delay 10 haste cap' is a myth, btw. Delay CAN go below 10, problem is most parsers use 1 sec increments, which just happens to be a delay of 10. EQMonks has parsed out haste well below 10. A fully hasted lvl 60 monk using epic fists has a delay around 8 in fact.

however, the 30atk portion of swift spirit will increase bow dmg.

wrong. only haste that doesnt affect ALL weapons, is quiver haste. Haste effect from any item, whether epic, FBSS, CoF, etc DOES affect your bow.

Well, i don't have my Swiftwind yet, but i can tell you one thing. I do have a Velium Swiftblade and its Haste DOES effect the speed of my bow. I have the Windsaber. With Swiftblade equiped, my bow speed is noticable, vs having FBSS on or no haste at all. If you don't believe me, get yourself a Velium Swiftblade and try it. i'm fairly certain you will like the results.

Couldn't say it better....if you want insane haste on your bow, then get a velium swiftblade and a FQ. i jsut got a velium light bow and the relay time is less that a second per shot and damage anywhere between 20 and 80 and crits as high as 215 w/o trueshot disc. and that's with summoned arrows! now as far as swiftwind....haven't gotten it yet, but from what i believe, the velium swiftbalde has 40% haste. IMO it is a good thing to invest in if you are one to use a bow a lot.

What ya think of it...
a ranger hit lvl 59, get Endless Quiver (alternate advancement) with one of the new 10 damage (+4 fire OR cold OR magic) arrow... so we have the 10 damage of the bow + 14 damage of the arrows... dunno if you got a damage bonus (let say no for purpose of calculation)...
You get a 24 damage 17 delay bow... ratio 0.708...
Now a primal with the same ammo would have 47 damage 35 delay... ratio 0.744...
0.708 is a better ratio then 0.744 right?
(windsaber would be 0.814 with the same arrows...)
And for those who say the +4 could be resisted, true... but I would keep one of each...
Only problem is I got no reliable infos on the endless quiver... the theory I suggested is based on info from eqcasterrealms, here, the safehouse, ranger glade... etc... (theory is endless quiver will "reproduce" the exact same kind of arrow you just shot...)
I also know primal have more stats... and lvl 59 is kinda high etc etc... but I can still dream of the damage output I would get...

Your analysis is basically correct, only problem so far is that the warriors and rogues I know are reporting problems with elemental damage on crits and backstabs, namely that it doesn't seem to get multipied.
So until I hear otherwise I'm gonna have to assume that this here uber bow is at best is (20/17) X Trueshot goodness +4 elemental damage rather than the otherway around.

Why are you all whining about the cost of arrows? Anyone 50+ can go to any mid-range zone and come out an hour later with a couple hundred plat in stuff to sell: FS weapons, lowbie drops that sell (jagged bands anyone?).
Spend the money on good arrows! Its worth it with this bow! I plan on using AT LEAST 5 damage arrows on any big hunt: Trak, Western Wastes dragons, Kael, etc. And at 55 with TS Disc., I'll be dishing out thousands of points of damage before I EVER get in melee range.
Sheesh. Whiners... LOL

All I gotta say is three words:
ROOT AND SHOOT
wanna know the purpose for this bow?? that's it!! cast root, and fire away....never worrying about breaking the root with a nuke or anything. This thing has better stats than some one-handed slash weapons in terms of speed to damage ratio. so i ask you...why stand there and take a beating while swinging wildly with a pair of yaks, when you can shoot faster than you can swing, AND have the possibility of getting crits, double/triple attacks with the bow, AND for some higher lvl rangers the trueshot discipline.
True enough, you NEVER want to use some class 6 steel silver tipped arrows with this thing, as that would be a sheer waste, but summoned arrows, or even some store bought arrows, would be great ammo to feed this monster.

True enough, you NEVER want to use some class 6 steel silver tipped arrows with this thing, as that would be a sheer waste, but summoned arrows, or even some store bought arrows, would be great ammo to feed this monster.

Posted: Aug 25 2001 at 9:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) After talking with some of the better rangers and so in the game from all over the servers we have come up with one and i do mean ONE possible use for this POS bow this goes along with people that argue that with max haste a Pair of Lamentations is better then a Wurmslayer / Partizan combo ive bet tons of plat on this idea i can quad for 120-170 per hit EASY compared to using lamentations wich i do 80 with with max haste both weps have 10 delay <12 on wurm actualy> and with a avatar buff i do more damage anyhow back to this bow

first your post is full of math errors as far as haste goes.
2nd warriors DONT GET QUAD ATTACK!
3rd a wormslayer WILL NEVER be delay 12!
Haste is a % there for it does not matter what the delay is on your weapon it reduces it praporatonal to the %. The MAX haste is 100% at lv 60 there fore with a lv 60 having 100% haste (that means he gets twice as many as someone with no haste) the delay would be reduced by 1/2 to 25/20 delay for a wormslayer & a lammy at 9/9.5 delay.
Someone like you that has no clue how eq works would think that the worm is much better but the reailty is that you get a bonus to the dammage you do with EVERY hit the lammy will get that bonus is gotten twice on a lammy for every hit with a worm. the dammage bonus is better the higher your lv.
lv 1-50 a worm slayer will do about 5% MORE dammage.
lv 51-54 they are roughly the same with the lammy having about 5% more near 53-54.
lv 55+ lammy does more dammage.
at ANY lv lammy will out taunt a WS!
at ANY lv your sta will be kept low with a WS!
at the upper lv game WS SUX HARD!
at upper lvs this bow would kick some major but esp with good arrows.
PS your not reaily using a WS 55+ are you? how do you deal with the everyone laughing at you?

Before you flame someone else, you might want to check *your* math. Max haste at level 60 is 105%, not 100%.

where the heck are you ppl getting 5dmg? maybe they just updtated the picture <shrug> but it sure lookes like 10 dmg to me, which will come very close to owning the windsabre not including stat buffs

If I didn't already have a Windsaber, I would use this bow in my range slot while tanking because it does have nice stats. Windsaber is very nice, but when trueshot discipline is up, a nice 30 39 bow is far superior as far as damage output.

With the advent of the Fleeting Quiver giving a delay reduction on Bows, of 6 .. this bow becomes 5/11 ... and I also believe that hastes work with bows ... with 50% haste on you ... that makes this bad boy 5/7 or 5/8 ... hmmmmmm
even counting arguements of minimum delay, this is at worst a 5/10 bow for someone of the level to obtain it ... OUCH

Well for all of you knuckelheads who feel the need to gripe about everything... Consider that non-rangers would love this item in the ranged slot. As a rogue I am always on the lookout for cool ranged slot items to make me feel sexy... By GOD this is a sexy bow ;-) I avoid pulling if possible(My natural taunt is more than suficient hehe), and when I do I usually use Vellium Shuriken or Froglok skipping stones, but I would use this. Nice stats sitting in my ranged slot and super delay to train the skill way up. Cummon admit it this is sweet in that function... the damage... lackluster granted, but think big )
i am a high enough level ranger on rz that i know how bad resists and such are needed. The problem is, removing your bone fork for a bow to interrupt casters and kill them. Well this bow will hopefully interrupt very quickly with enoough skill (and get it up fast), and has fine resists for a bow. I am happy to see that my friend Darkfyre got one these ( i think, or huntsman, one of the two).

well as a 55 Ranger i can't understand why you think this Bow sucks
I am a 51Ranger and i think this is a great Bow,
You at 55 have Trueshot Discipline Available...this is something that when used can inflict serious Damage on the unlucky victim....at 55 You should also know that delay is more important than damage due to the damage bonus's at high lvl...
Basically a Ranger who is able to get this Bow will have TS ability and have quite a nice bow or few already
When TS becomes available I am sure it will be this Uzi that most Rangers will be packing if they own it..
As for arrows I agree with ... by the time you get this bow you will have Tolan's brace...I have one at lvl 51 and have gone through fights kiting using over 400 arrows hehe
My Archery skill went up 4 points fairly quickly after hitting lvl 51 and has now seemed to stop again at 204 ( was 200 since lvl 40ish) so I think I've got a lot of shooting to be done for another point or have to wait for lvl 52
Either way if by 55 I have still not capped Archery what better Bow than this baby to assist in Maxing the Archery skill so as to take full advantage of the 30/40 Bow

actually this is a horable bow for trueshot. Higher dmg/dly bows are best for trueshot. and this was gotten by FoH right? the best equiped ranger in the game, Sean Spiritarrow, is in FoH and uses a velium bow, its 33/35(i think thats primal) obviously if the best equiped ranger on the face of norrath doesn't use a bow which i am fairly cetain FoH gives sean first pick at the bows, that also proves it, this might be fun, but not a good bow really.

Well... when your able to go to ST and kill a warder, you can say stupid things like you have just stated here. If you knew anything, you would know you would have to have quite the uber guild, like FoH or the local uber guild on your server to even attempt ST. You need keys for ruffly 30 people to attempt killing them, maybe less when you refine your tactics, but to start, youll need about 30+ people with ST keys. Keys are aquired by killing 2 fairly hard dragons, in 2 VERY hard zones. If you were lucky enough to get a key or 2 a week, you might be able to attempt ST in like... oh lets say 4-5 months. So since ToV is accessable to a squad of 12+ 55+ characters... this is definatly a GOOD stepping stone to the truelly uber bows. Flammers flamming, flammers now getting Flammed =p i love it.

First of all, by the time you can get this bow, as a ranger you'll have obtained your Tolan's Bracer a looong time ago, or if you're a Rogue or Warrior you have a friend with one. Secondly, it's good in the range slot during battle anyway.

Posted: May 07 2001 at 8:38 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Unless you have a free, unlimited arrows supply this bow is a waste of time and money. The damage per arrow is just way too low.
You're a Ranger, and how's your Fletching skill?
As a monk, I'd love to have nice things for my range slot, but don't get anything near as nice. LoL - this bow sucks? I disagree completely.
Guy- this is a great Bow.

and don't forget about crits...granted the money need to make them 4 dmg arrows will hurt bad when you're firing a stack into one target easy with this delay (still wanna know range though).
As a ranger with some nice crits, you can do quite a bit of damage before that snared (if snare-able) MOB comes anywhere close. Too bad it's NO DROP ;)

Think of trueshot discipline with a 17delay bow, 4dmg arrows and a 5dmg bow, you could do more dmg than a 20dmg bow and 4dmg arrows, because all there delays are like 40 or so. god knows the crits would be smaller, but the output would be nutz
3 posts
the thing is that wihile the crits would be smaller there would be more of them, the reduction in dammage/hit would be smaller than the increased hits.
With a dis it matters not the the punny cost of a single arrow or even a stack what matters is the ammount of dammage you can do while in the dis. This bow & GOOD arrows would easly out dammage bows that seemed to have an advantage.

Good thing this is on a high level mob, my 15th level ranger with 132 fletching would be broke in under 30 min of using this thing.
A barefoot halfling is a happy halfling.
5/17. Heh, this is faster than the windsabre, but the damage isn't there. I guess if you want to get 10 shots in before you actually begin to fight, this is a nice Bow.
Oh, no range is listed. Whats the range?
