This thread is about the idea to change Keiran's bow to make it customizable for the skin and the skin only.
The Ithas Bow is a bow that was given out as a /bonus item back in the day. It is non max, and has poor mods on the weapon. There is no option to get the weapon besides the /bonus and Keiran's bow.
Allowing people to mod Keiran's bow or the Ithas Bow skin will make plenty of people glad of the change.
A possible solution is to give a q9 gold Ithas Bow as a quest reward for completing Hearts of the North content or the reward of a q9 green unique bow that has good and preferable mods.
For those of us who like the Ithas Bow skin plz /signed.
For those who object to this change /notsigned.

To be honest, I don't really understand why it has no mods on it? Afterall, once we enter the mission we can switch to a modded bow anyway. :x

Yep, there was a promotional with the same skin. Pre-order I believe and it wasn't max. But I love the skin...

Who cares if it was gold? It's no different than BMP weapons.

You can switch bows mid-mission, so bring your own. Keiran's bow is only required to start the mission. Currently.

A very nice skin.
/signed
Although they might need to change it so you couldn't get an unlimited number of bows.

This thread is for everybody who would like to see the skin able to be modified for personal use.
I do not care about modifiying it for the mission because the mission is easy anyways.
Chthon
Strongly in favor of this. I'd love to be able to mod (and dye) this bow.

Its not demanding and very logical for ANet to do this.
When this thread gets a good turn out in /signed's, I will convey this to Regina Buenaobra or whoever will receive this on ANet's behalf.

IMO it should be blue inscribable/customized like the bonus mission pack -- Togo's Staff & Turai's Sword, since they were using the same idea anyway.
FallenAngel_
Not sure if a green can be modded, gold if not.
Available once you complete quest chain seems a little bit more fair.
If you don't have a max bow after BLA then well.. Don't see why it isn't moddable anyways.

).theres no way to get a useable bow with this amazing skin (i bet they could make a trader craft it for 100 globs and shards and some people would still buy it :P)
cosyfiep
I was unhappy to find it unmodable so yeah /signed (make it like the bmp stuff said by dracolysis....no idea why they did NOT do this in the first place!)

You could get one of those with ONE of the Prophecies pre-orders.

/signed to making it customised and customisable (mods and dye) in exactly the same way as BMP weapons. As it stands it's a useless item once the quest line is done, as it has no mods and can't be modded.

I'd like it if we could also mod it's color too maybe, but either way just for the skin itself it'd be really nice!

Anyways, I reckon a customisable version would work as a reward for completing all the content. An option to have it as any bowtype instead of recurve would be nice too.

Guess it'd be nice. Just have kieren give you a gold one for helping him get with gwen once the quests are over. No mods but with an inscription slot then you have to add 3 of your own mods (inscription, string, grip) to it. So not like you're getting a bunch of perfect bows (though you should have plenty already). As for hero gear, you already get that. Think it was part of the glacial blade lot. So you already got max bows on demand anyway. Or put it on a crafter somewhere. Its about the skin, not getting a fully modded bow. Well, for me anyway.

I think keiran's bow has a hidden mod that halves his skill recharge. I've noticed while doing the mini-missions that Keiran's skills will sometimes randomly have their recharge halved. I've run entire missions with different bows and they never get halved.
However, this doesn't seem to translate outside of the missions. After 3 hours of testing with his bow, haven't had a skill recharge halved.

.........................How would that cause a noticable dent in the bow market? It would result in being a common skin since it would be easy to obtain, and the exspensive bows would still remain exspensive.

^good point...there isn't really a bow market.
I'm probably the only person with a decent pile of bows lying around, and 99% of them I had to farm myself. People don't really collect and sell bows.

I imagine players will be clamoring for new weapons in Winds of Change. Perhaps Keiran's Bow could be used as a commemorative weapon in that content?

Sword, strenght shield, channeling staff and smiting staff. All unlimited and for free for those that have the BMP.
And for a market to exist, you need a market system.
Do you really think every single player spams in kamadan or registers in auction sites? No, they don't.
GW doesn't have a market system. It needs one, it will probably never have one, but it still lacks it.
