Hi. My ranger Ma Ka R is finally wearing his FoW armour and I've died it a colour that I like. I need to decide what bow you think would look best. I'm a BHA/Magebane kind of guy, so a recurve is best.
I have Bow of the Hierophant, and I recently tried an Asuran bow to see what looks best with my ranger, but I'm not really happy with either. Can anyone make a suggestion? If so, please feel free to include a screenshot of your ranger and his/her bow so I can see if I like it. Thanks!

i would say this should be posted in ranger forums?
otherwise zodiacs are best skin, but for recurve ones... no idea

I know about Wiki (but thanks anyway) and I've looked at every skin. I just don't know what most people think would suit my ranger personally. I have thought about Eternal already, and i might get one.

get one that YOU think would suit you, not one that other ppl will pick lol. Most of us will not even ever meet you in game to see it but you'll be watching yourself daily, so buy one that you like.

Eternal -can- look nice but personally, i think it would stick out like hell on your ranger and look a bit stupid, you seem to have gone for a more natural colour and i think you should narrow your choices down to less flashy show off bows.
I'll try think of some when i get home.

I appreciate what you're saying, but I've tried that already. What I'm meaning to say is has anyone bought a bow that might not look so great on say, Wiki, but has surprised you in-game (with how good it looks, of course)?

I'd pick Ancient, Spiked, or Bladed. I also like the standard Composite a lot, but those are fairly common, so not sure if you'd like that.

I have to say my fave is always a Storm Bow. I love longbows unless I'm interrupting (which I'm bad at anyways so don't bother doing).
With the dark hair and armor, your ranger would look good with a Storm Bow dyed white maybe :) I have that on my PvP ranger (who has dark hair and armor) and it looks cool cos it really stands out. If you're wanting recurve though then...bah, can't think of one :p

A Dryad bow would look pretty decent on your ranger

Get whatever is most pricey skin.
anything thats over 100k+ectoes should do. Don't forget to mod is with perfect sundering and ctrl-call it at least once per pug.

Joking? or not? lol
Im also looking for a cool recurve bow...I like the bladed recurve (Hierophant skin) but you have that...
Hmm, this might sound lame, but I think the Deldrimor Recurve style would look nice with your FoW armor...
Thats just my opinion...I dont know if you were looking for something more expensive..

Really now, this section is meant for builds and the discussion of the functional parts of equipment. I think you'd be better served by the screen shot section. Closed.
