Ah,ive not bothered looking into GW:EN skins yet(my tormented recurve just about does me:P)
The Far Shooter
Zodiac + Tormented FTW. Although Tormented is better since I sold my Zodiac for my Tormented Long. XD

Where do you get bows like zodiac or the tormented bow???
Is it a random drop item, or is it an exchange item at the end of each expasion???
P.S. Does any1 mind posting some pics???

I was so proud when I farmed it on my ranger, too bad it's the worst bow in the game stat-wise. A-net sure likes sundering MEH.

skull recurve > pretty much everything
it's probably the best looking bow that actually.... looks like a bow.

is it just me or 90% of the recurves have dead bow skins/reskins >_>
recurve is the best bow for me and i have a hard time finding something neat
while flatbows and longbows have the best variety of skins..
i like the silverwing but it's freakishly expensive for me
and i never got it as drop despite all my runs in frostmaw and duncan dungeons......i've seen other get it though
the pain...Q_Q

Not very special, but stat-wise rather decent. I personally like the skin a lot too. It's also VERY easy to obtain, you can either farm TOPK, or buy it off a player for a K or 2

i've seen every type of recurve bow
i don't like the ivory/shadow skin either
i like big bows or bows with more 3d feel to them
i'm currently using a req.13 eternal bow
but i love the animation of the silverwing skin

For now I am still using my orginal Storm Bow, from way back in the day of gw...
I am just questioning, if I should try and get a 2nd or even 3rd bow for my ranger... And if so what is a good bow to get besides my main Storm Bow...

you want some form of recurve (I prefer the Azure skin myself), a flatbow (preferably vamp) and a short (changes depending on build). A ranger should have as many bows as possible so you can change what you are using to match the scenario.

I kinda figured as much...
I kinda pictured all my charcters weilding many different weapons like... Cloud Strife from the Final Fanatasy world...

It's also VERY easy to obtain, you can either farm TOPK, or buy it off a player for a K or 2 I agree on the skin, and in theory on the stats as well, but Vampiric unfortunately doesn't lend itself well to how I play Ranger. In PvP I'm usually a cripshot Ranger and generally each arrow I fire has a specific, conscious intent. Rarely am I actually firing enough to get a health return from the life stealing, and a Recurve bow is the nearly the slowest-firing weapon in the game, save for the Horn bow.
I use a Crippling Norn Recurve, 15>50 and +30hp.

The one players seem to be paying out the nose for now is the Celestial Longbow.

I have almost an entire storage tab devoted to bows... the rest of the tab has my trapper stuff and tanking eq. If you wanna play casually, most folks do seem to stick with the longbow. Once you decide to actually play you ranger though, you'll need to clear out some storage space 
Celestial??!?!? gag
as far as cool skins: grinning recurve, azures, naga shortbows, bramble bows.

vamp is used for pressure damage not gaining health
i don't think it's a good idea to have one on a ranger in pvp though
(except in a slot for ranger spike)
as for pve it works great with barrage

I like the Azure Recurve bows and I want to get my hands on a Spiked Recurve too. The Feathered (Longbow) skin is a favourite of mine too, and one of the classic skins.
I also really like the Mursaat Hornbow.. might have to start some chest running there.
I've been using collector bows for a while though so I'm in the progress of getting some nice looking stuff.

ganking bases a vamp bow can make things go alot faster. If you play a ranger in any decent level of PvP and you don't plan to split then you don't need to be a ranger.
Feathered longbow is pretty..ive wanted 1 for a long time but as a pvp player I iz kinda poor =[

My favorite bow that I have is the naga shortbow I got recently. The most popular bow currently is the silverwing recurve bow though.
Hells_Faithful
So how would I go about getting a Zodiac, and Silverwing bow?
P.S. Besides Sundering what is a good bow mod to get vamp???

Zodiac Longbows drop in Urgoz Warren as well as the Deep areas. Silverwing I believe only drops from Frostmaw's Chest in EoTN. It's really rare, I'm not positive about that one though if it drops anywhere else. A lot of people don't like sundering, but I think it's decent. What kind of string you use depends on what kind of build you want to use.
Hells_Faithful
Is Urgoz Warren, and the Deeps in NF or in Factions???
Aris the Accurate
Both are in Factions. Urgoz is accessed through HzH and The Deep is accessed through Cavalon
Hells_Faithful
Dang I am in the middle of NF and I wont be heading into Factions until after I beat NF... Thx for the info though...
