This bow is a pretty rare drop from Siren's Grotto. For the level, it's not bad, but how's a level 26 going to get in and get one? Seeing as to the difficulty of the mobs it drops off of (DB to 65, hit for 200 at 1300 AC, innate magics on the mobs and such), I'd like to request a couple of changes be looked into to make this particular item of some use.

First off, I'd like to ask that an EB clicky be added to this bow. Two other EB clicky items also drop from this zone, and it'd make the bow of some use to the levels who frequent Siren's Grotto. To expand the potential for use, the EB clicky could even not be flagged "must be equipped." There are many other items out there from many other zones with a clicky EB on them, so I don't view this as a massive out-of-the-ordinary request.

I'd also like to request that this bow be made droppable, with or without an EB clicky. As it stands now, no character capable of grouping to loot that bow would actually consider using it. It is possible however, that lower level characters may find that bow appealing and potentially within their price range vs. other droppable bows.

Thanks!

I very, very rarely post in such threads, but I'd say that this item, well.... sucks. I mean, I soloed Voice of the Centaurs at level 33, and it has a much better ratio and rather nice stats (IMHO).

The only hassle is that you have to get to ally with Helleron to get that bow, but it's not difficult in the least.

...

But don't go nerfing my bow, now!
 
Another suggestion if above is not satisfying, get some good CR in this (like 20) and some HP to make it a valuable situational range (even removing the other positive resists ).
But yeah making it droppable would make sense, unless it's used in quest(s) ?
 
It used to be droppable and I imagine was made no drop because it was all over the place. There were tons of these things on the market a few years ago.
 
I agree. I've spent a LOT of time in Siren's Grotto with my WAR and SHM combo and only seen one of these bows drop. It's probably the rarest item I've ever come across. I mean I spent an entire level there 64-65 and on top of that I've spent the last 2-3 days there as well.

I've gathered about 10 stacks of Tangleweed during this time frame to let you know how rare the bow is.

I think the stats need to increased considering its extreme rarity and also no-drop tag. It's a worthless item at the level you can obtain it. I'm using an emblem I got on an E Tmap over it, put it that way.
 
When I was doing my thurg quest for my shaman, I saw a lot of these drop. I think they drop more often off of the lower lvl mobs near the Wyvernfang zone-in.
 
FYI these do drop pretty commonly off of the level 45ish mobs at the entrance. And even there, they aren't worth looting.

This bow is clearly garbage. I'll do something about it.


Any chance that some of the other odd no drop items off the trash could get looked at as well. Thiers a necklass for int casters that is rather... low powered for the zone as well.
