Is it a new skin or just a new name?

new name, feather bows have always been around, but they were always classified as longbow, shortbow so on.. now the skin "Feathered" is listed in with the name to clarify that it's not just the regular wooden long bow.

Well, GWiki is wrong, since before the update I was getting "Longbows" with the Feathered skin just yesterday, and before that.

Oh well. I like the change.

I could rewrite my page long post of why I would NOT like for them to give those weapons new skins, but I am lazy

I think it's random, because sometimes I get it at two, and sometimes I don't.

I got a plain one last night in THK. I thought it was new. That's the only one I'd seen.

The namechange is not retroactive, my feathered Flatbow is still just called a Flatbow.

That said, what other name changes there might be?

Mursaat Hornbow
Flesh Hornbow
Tyrian/Canthan Hand Axe, Cleaver, Sickle
The four different Warhammer skins (including the spiky and Ascalon Maul skins)
The various alternate staff, rod, and focus skins (these would probably be unchanged)

Can anyone confirm or deny these (with items that dropped during or after 9/14)?
