Closed: OS q6 Longbow (not max dmg)+q12 Domination Zodiac Staff 20/10+GotH

Hey guys, I just got this gold bow as a drop from some mergoyle, and I wonder if it's worth anything. I checked the low req weps dmg thread and it's below the value listed there, but I thought I'd give it a try, anyway. It's a Longbow, wooden skin:

12-21 (req 6 Marks)
15^50


Also, I have this 20/10 Zodiac Staff, q12 Domination.

And added a gold max q9 tac OS Guardian of the Hunt, ar +10 vs Piercing and -2/stance.

Cheers!

Anyone? I reckon the Dom Zodiac isn't more than 10-20k, if that, but I would like some opinions on it...

the others i don't know, but i think the bow is merch food

I'd have to agree with the "merch food" guess, sorry. Even if it was a case of max damage for low req., there's just not much market for non-max martial weapons. If you're going out to damage stuff with a bow, you'll spec plenty of points in marks to use a max bow, right?

I've heard that one does not deal the rated damage of a martial weapon with less than 12 in that weapon's mastery attribute, regardless of the weapon's req being below 12. I haven't tested that myself, but it's seemed widely agreed upon when I've noticed it mentioned over the years. So in that case, one wouldn't do 12-21 damage with that bow if they put only 6 into marks.

Short of some niche build using weapon spells or conjure enchants that couldn't spare more points in marks, I can't really see a use for this other than a <lv 20 ranger.

Very shaky guess of 15-20k

Very shaky guess of 5-15k
