I have a black smith and want to make a bunch of +10 composite bow for my archer. Are they hard to get? What ingredients do I need to make them?

Blacksmiths cannot make bows.

Mastersmiths at job 70 can upgrade gear with higher rate than npc using weapon upgrade skill, this users the same ingredients, and can be used on all weapons. Weapon is lost on failure.

If you are on renewal, composite bows suck. They are only good on classic.

On classic, people use 4-slotted composite bows. Blacksmiths cannot make slotted weapons of any type.

Great, thanks for the tip. 

 

So why is composite bow crappy on renewal? 

 

Back in the old old days, this bow was great, it increases like 96% of damage, or something like that??

In renewal, +% damage vs race/size/type effects (but not+% ranged damage or +% damage with skill) only effect the portion of attack from eatk and watk, not satk. Since composite bows have very low attack, the cards don't help them much.

In renewal, you want level 3/4 weapons with high attack. Which really makes more sense many of these weapons can now be enchanted (see http://irowiki.org/w...langdo_Enchants )
