Just an FYI - No longer drops, was replaced with Taleisen, bow of the trailblazer...
Straightforward Answer

Can someone just give me some valid advice on how to get this bow. Who? Where? and How?

Thanks

YAY! a rogue only bow!!! I knew it was too good to be true, Bad Bad VI for nerfing the drop into non-existance! After all Why should a rogue be able to exell in ranged combat when we (outside EQ) where the original experts, D&D, Diablo, the list goes on *sigh* oh well, at least we still have Backstab....
#REDACTED, Posted: Jan 06 2002 at 5:37 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) For the Love of Norrath people! No, the Unseen bow no longer drops, so who gives a flyin' *&%*% what class it was for??? DROP IT! I've just about giving up scrolling down the page to find info on items cause anything even remotely nice becomes a B*tch forum for you petty losers.
Gone...

The rangers whined until this got nerfed. It no longer drops in the game.

The original intent behind it was that it was a side reward during the 9th Coldain ring quest in order to reward the rogue who makes the poison necessary for the 9th ring (which will cost a rogue over 10,000pp to get the skill necessary to make it), and dropped off Peffin. But god forbid a rogue get something useful out of those thousands of plat and hundreds of hours spent levelling the skill up, other than the joy of helping someone else get their ring.

Peffen now drops Talisen, Bow of the Trailblazer instead: Magic/Lore, 25/50, AC3, STR/DEX/STA/SV MAGIC +3, SV POISON +10, HP +10, range 150, WAR/PAL/RNG/SHD/ROG. FAR inferior, tradable, and usable by all archery classes. Makes me sick.
#REDACTED, Posted: Jul 29 2002 at 8:30 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Yeah, it was definetly the rangers who got this bow nerfed. *rolls eyes*
Where is it ? Please

I am a level 35 Ranger and couldn't care less if I can use this bow. I would like to help my 36 level Rogue friend get one. Whether he uses it for stats or Dmg/Dely, don't care about that either. Would just like to know who and how to get it. Please can someone answer this with some info?

Thanks ahead of time.

Some real info on the bow
# Jun 29 2001 at 1:56 AM Rating: Default
the bow really drops in Great Divide. it's the drop from that coldain woman in the giant fort when you give her the note form the traitor in Kael (all part of the 9th coldain ring quest), a new version of her spawns with some friends, you kill all of them and loot her, she has a note and this bow, now i forget if the bow is used in the 10th ring or not, but i don't think it is =p THAT is how you get the bow.

"Real Info" usually should be correct info, there is no "Coldain woman in the giant fort" in GD, thats Peffin you speak of, and she's in the fort in EW. The bow is also just a little side reward, it has nothing to do with the next ring quest.

I thought the reason behind this was to be able to get information on certain items?
Seems alot of folks enjoy using this as a CRY and Complain session! Bottom line is.
This is a "Game" and should be treated as such. I have 5 other alts and have them for
certain reasons and each has its own pluses and minuses and each are enjoyable to
play. Be it either a pure caster, melee or both, They each are different for a reason
So lets try and keep things the way it was intended. To learn and grow from and leave the complaining to other boards.

did anyone find out where it drops ???
So sad
# Jun 10 2001 at 8:16 PM Rating: Decent
I feel sad for all of you who can do nothing but whine. This is a great hard to get bow for rogues. So what?! My ranger has plenty of other good items. So do my warrior and shaman. If you can't use an item, just shrug it off and look for one you can use. I say again, I feel sad for all of you.

Have fun :)
enough already

Can we get back to the topic? What mob is this droped from?
#Anonymous, Posted: Jun 07 2001 at 9:24 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Okay .. ALL CLASSES SUCK to the person who is using it.. okay some are considered better than others.. but if you think rogues or rangers suck you should try enchanters.. without groups enchanters get killed by most blues at high lvls.. Im not talkin about those of u still under 20 although Id like to see a non twink loner a oasis orc as an enchanter.. our pets suck and if were not in a group we die real fast almost always... so shut up live with what you chose and dont think for a minute that your class sucks, because in the end no class is intended to be the KING of classes.
bow vs throwing for rogues
# Jun 03 2001 at 4:18 PM Rating: Default
for all you people that posted about rogues not using this bow dmg/dly but for stats since rogues get crits with throwing weapons your dead wrong, i am a rogue lvl 54 and i had a light velium bow not too long ago...i did more damage with the bow at 33 archery skill then i have ever done with a deadly strike at 165 throwing skill, i would use this for the dmg/dly as well as the stats.

and im not sure but i think i saw on a different website that this drops off one of the mobs for one of those coldain ring quests for all you people that want to know how to get it.
i just

i just usually use this for the stats, i forget where i looted it, put it in my bank and forgot about it till a couple days ago
This Is a great Bow
# May 13 2001 at 2:21 PM Rating: Default
The fact of the matter is that everyone should just stop crying. Rangers hve enuff class specific stuff and rouges have there own class armour.So a super bow for a rouge with killer stats isnt a big deal becasuse they dont get critcals with it like rangers so it evens out!!Yeah i guess

I'm sure that 2 years after the post you are flaming, the point you are trying to make is moot. "The word is "rogue".not"rouge" Since we are correcting each other instead of providing useful information (myself included), periods generally appear at the end of a sentence, not in the middle. Please make a note of it for your next flame.

Hello questers and adventurers of Norrath,

This is what i do at work (i work the grave yard shift at a gas station, heh), i look around on the net for neat items that ill never have. This my friends is one of them. I recently started fletching and archery, with my rogue of 32 seasons, and my shadow knight of 15. Now, i already know i started way late with my rogue (archery hit 6 this afternoon =D ), but what the hell, its fun. With my sk, archery's goin up like mad. Honestly, im not sure what bow im using, its a fletched one, i think its elm, not that great i guess, but better than the one i was using that i stole from an aqua goblin. But anyways, my point is that who cares if rangers can't use this bow, get another one. In my adventures on the net to find kick *** items, im constantly comeing accross peircers that rogues can't use, darn, on the next link. Why make a fit, and complain that verant doesn't know what there doing. When was the last time any of you had an online game/comunity of this magnitude? Heh, or an online game at all for that matter. Its like when kids are at an arcade, forking out quarter after quater to play games that "suck" and that are too hard, and the game maker has no idea what he/she is doing. If all you are going to do is complain about items that you can't have, or are a pain in the *** to get, why play? And if you did get the items you wanted, and quests were easy, again, why play? Where is the fun, if you can walk into a zone and kack what ever mob drops what you need with ease?

Why do rogues only get 4 illusion masks? Why don't they get masks for all the races? Its sad to hear things like this. Or here ya go, the post from the cleric, that was raving about how they need illusions, why don't they get any masks? Personally, i think its cool as hell that bards and rogues get theses masks, but where would the fun be if we got masks for all races? We'd be chanters with attitude thats why.

Why do rogues get this awsome bow? Who knows? Who cares? It kicks ***, thats all i know, and mabey, one day, ill have one, not likely, but hey, i can hope =D

Why do rangers get ranger only kick *** peircers? Because its not a rogue only skill, thats why, thers bard only peircers, warrior only peircers, necromancer only peircers, and so on, and so on. Why complain, why not look at that item, and just go "damn, it would be nice if i could use that" and not give it anymore thought, you can't use it, get over it, find a different weapon.


Ok, im done rambaling (|:o)~

Why don't you all take you rediculous banter about what fricking class is better than the other and why this and that sucks about rangers and rogues to a CLASS FORUM and leave this for information about the ITEM? There have been a few people asking what drops this and there has been no responce. If you know what drops it please post, or if you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say that is great too. If not...go whine in a chat room or on a class forum.

# Apr 23 2001 at 12:44 AM Rating: Default
My problem with the bow isn't so much that it's "Rogue only" but rather the fact that every bow that can classify as equal or superior to Adarra's Bow of the Unseen is usable by multiple classes. There is (currently) no "Ranger only" bow that even comes close to this in regards to damage, delay, range, and stat enhancements.


Stat enhancements are the only real reason I see a rogue even equipping a bow. They sure aren't using it for damage dealing since they get criticals with thrown weapons and the big chunk of their damage comes from backstabbing. And I personally don't know of any rogues over level 15 that act as group puller. (Which is not to say they don't, just that I don't see it in my experience.)

The title of "masters of the bow" is still safe with rangers.
RE: Bows
# Apr 28 2001 at 5:56 PM Rating: Default
Who are you playing with exactly? I know more high level rogues who spend the majority of their time in xp groups as the primary puller, than any other class besides monk.

I think the better question is who are you playing with exactly. Maybe you are an exceptionally good puller and play in a group regularly that recognizes that but in most groups rogues dont pull. If you're outside and need to track a ranger is the puller of choice. Inside the platemail tanks should pull. This is assuming you dont have a monk. Rogues do not have enough hitpoints to pull if there's another option.

But again this bow is gonna be used for its stat bonuses not for its dam/del. You get one bow shot in a battle maybe a couple if you're long pulling outside. If you're a rogue let someone else pull and shoot it as its incoming.
rogue assasinate ability with bow
# Apr 22 2001 at 11:28 PM Rating: Default
would just like to state that assasinate is a lvl 60 rogue ability with ANY attack it does 32k damage on any humanoid target lvl 46 and below :)
RE: rogue assasinate ability with bow
# Apr 27 2001 at 4:17 AM Rating: Default
State what you wish, assasinate works only with throwing weapons from the rear arc (as do deadly strikes) and with backstabs. It does not work with bows.

To be honest, I've been doing deadly strikes from the front of the mob for some strange reason now. Kind of wierd, I always thought it had to be hit from the back. /shrug
Better bow for rangers.
# Apr 22 2001 at 9:15 PM Rating: Default
Peffin triples for 350's. She does not require two uber guilds - yet for a Rogue bow (since rogues cant crit with it and cap significantly lower than rangers) she is of approximate fairness in difficulty. She drops her head and 2 other items - for a mob that hits 350 with a good deal of HP thats not much. To get to this point in the Coldain Insignia Ring is alone nearly impossible; you really really have to be devoted to putting in your time. For a Ranger there IS a easier bow that is BETTER than this one. Here is simpley how you get it...

Side with Giants.

Get Kindly Kromzek/Kromrif faction. (really not that hard..)

Kill Vluudeen (level 45 wurm in GD - semi-rare - lotsa hp - doesnt summon - hits 125ish)

Loot his tail.

Take Tail to Gleed Dragonhunter in Kael. (near king tormax's castle)

Get 20/30 Stats and 80 point DD proc bow.

Bow of the Huntsman is now yours. There.
