Ithas Bow = unique skin?
TsunamiZ
Does the Ithas Bow have a unique skin? Or is there another bow drop that looks like it? Can you mod the Ithas Bow?
Tobias Funke
would be helpful if you posted a pic of it

i could be wrong but i dont think it has a unique skin...

The Ithas bow is a unique skin and you can mod it. It has the same arrow flight statistics as a flatbow. Don't expect to get any mods back from it though by salvaging it as it's a preorder item which cannot be salvaged or given to anyone else. Any mods put on it, are there till you overwrite them with a different mod, or till you put the bow in the trash.

Isn't that an inferior bow since it's not max damage? Or is there a way to balance it?
Former Ruling
Its inferior because of requirements and damage.
But it IS unique.

The worst of it is that we Americans go that trash bow, and I think Europeans got a focus that adds +1 to their primary attribute.

all profit minded game design = pffft

You do realize that the bow isn't max because ANet didn't want to give an advantage to a select group of players (those you preordered the original). Preorder items can now be max because you can walk into pretty much any city/outpost in the game and find atleast 1 person trying to sell pretty much any item you could need. When the game was first released, this wasn't the case.

Damn straight the game wasn't the same in the beginning. In fact it was a completely different game. Wrt ithas bow being sub standard, go to the screenshot forum, find the 'post your awesome weapon' thread, and look at the entries for the first few weeks/months after release. Yes, those WERE considered awesome weapons back then!
TsunamiZ
it wouldn't hurt for anet to upgrade the dmg to max on the ithas bow to make it at-level with other weapons...
dargon
For a free item, it's not required. Hell, I still use mine every so often just the way it is.
TsunamiZ
sux if its the only item in the game w that skin and the stats r crap...
Mustache Mayhem
is'nt that the only bow in game with expertise as a req
dargon
The stats really aren't that bad. So what if it's not max damage, 2pts off the low and 3 off the high really is negliable in most fights. To my knowledge it is the only bow in the game that close to max damage that has an armor mod. Furthermore, you can add a second armor mod to it should you want because it counts as an unmodded weapon.
