It just struck me that the crappy no-req longbow I keep to pull with, has +5 energy. I know that that is very rare for other weapons, is it more common for bows?

I'm not sure where I picked up this bow, could be in pre-searing even, but probably around Ascalon in post-searing.

I'm pretty sure is a pre searing quest reward. Could be wrong though of course.

i just did that quest and it seems they changed taht bow to just another crappy longbow WITHOUT the energy bonus (

Now it's a 7-10 longbow of fortitude with +10 health and +15% dmg while health is above 50%...

Ooh, pwnage. My Monk has one still. And FYI, although it's called a "Longbow", like every other Pre-Sear weapon its name is wrong. It's a Halfmoon.

WHY are the presearing weapon names all messed up?

The most common is obviously Long Sword aka fake crystalline....

I'm kinda lost here.
Why would anyone want to pay 200k for that?
Please explain.

I believe MCS (when he used to be here...) called it Super Newb Syndrome.

People believe because they are a ranger, they need a bow. Little do they realize a staff and an offhand will get much more energy for trapping and whatnot.

I do say trapping, because there is no way you would use a +5 energy 1-2 damage bow for saving energy on skills...

Precisely what I was thinking.
There's a collector who offers a +5 energy wand for charr carvings.
And as for off-hands, I doubt I need to go into that.

Maybe there's some other reason for this?

Hunters quest... Yeah, that's possible. I did that just before going into post-searing.

200K? So the crappy bow I only use to pull with is actually my most expensive weapon? LOL!

Longbow vs half-moon: yeah, I've noticed it looks different.

Yeah, I think it only acts like a Halfmoon also in terms of refire and range. Dunno who wants to pay 200k for this though.
