I'm confuzzled.

What is the difference between, for example, a longbow and a feathered long bow?

Thanks

The half-moon skin is used for a longbow as a pre-sear quest reward also. It's the bow I use for my non-ranger characters to pull with since it has longbow range and no req.

I thought all pre-sear bows were longbows, regardless of skin?

Quest reward/collector Long Bow skins con't count because they're weird like that. You'll find all kinds of funky/"wrong" skins on quest rewards and collector items.

also add crafter longbows. it's the most generic skin after flatbow. you'll see it on pvp recurves and some collectors. i know that the pre-sear, yaks and LA crafter's have it.

Storm Bows and Longbows are counted as different BUT share the same class stats.

Dead Bows are a totally different class of bows.
