    i would sell it, and save up for heaven shatterer. but hey, if you really want a frost weapon, get broadlands. it is astopping point though, doesnt really get any better, nor can you upgrade it, you're kinda stuck with it unless you get TT99 or lunar.

    Both worthless, no. Sell it and save up for HS. You can use the gold TT80 bow meanwhile.

    Boogie right.... Vastland>Dragon bow....so what dragon bow got +1% and more dex
    You would have to +5 a Dragon Bow to get its damage up to Vastland+3

    But thats not what your asking I would sell it and save up for Heaven Shattered seem like they are getting cheaper. FC gold bow is useless imho the Xbow is good but if your looking for aps I wouldn't use it.

    Uriah(Endgame sage archer) got FC gold Xbow+10(i think or somewhere around that) its damage its pretty sick....but +10 is alot

    Buy a vastland(fc green)---> sell sign--->save up for Heaven shattered(50-60+ idk)---->sell vastland---->Buy Heaven Shatter

    He should atleast have picked a good xbow to make +10..All the FC weps for archers are **** imo and most people I know says the same. b:surrender

    "Slow Effect" I doubt that will come usefull at all. Would have been alot smarter of him to hold the high refine until he atleast got the TT99 xbows if he wanted to roll xbow.

    LOLwat ..? endgame sage? +10 FCC xbow? that kinda screams cashing hyper noob.

    if he wanted to roll xbow he couldve put that cash into a constellation:fall or the nirvana equivalent... even the TT100 if he has that much cash to waste. dont look up to that guy as an example im just sayin, he kinda spelled fail in your post.

    but yeah... broadland is the way to go if you REALLY want to use that fcc thinger.

    advice to fledgling archers:
    Going sage is like drunken sex, at first she may look good, but when you wake up the next morning; you'll look at her and go WHAT HAVE I DONE.

    Uriah(Endgame sage archer)

    I stopped reading there since you obviously dont know what youre talking about.

    Uriah is the biggest embarassment to archers pwi has ever seen.

    1st. He went sage. And not by accidentally choosing the wrong quest.
    2nd. He bought an fc gold bow and then +10'ed it. He would have been better off +10'ing a wind and clouds.
    3rd. His method of pking consists of triple sparking, then auto attacking a barb, when there are AA targets nearby.
    4th. He tries to pull a cata in tw and prides over his 27 kills over 20 tw's, then tries to bull**** and say he knows what his class is meant to do in tw, and uses the excuse that he is a sage tank busting tanking archer. No. He is a fail who doesnt know what wings of grace or flying is.
    5th. Uriah spends so much money on his fail *** build with his ****ty damage, then thinks that an archer is meant to tank and kill ha only.

    In short, uriah is the failest archer the world has ever seen, yes worse than that Demon_EA person, and should never be taken seriously.

    FC gold Xbow+10(i think or somewhere around that) its damage its pretty sick....but +10 is alotr

    +10 anything hurts to the average player. doesn't mean he's good. and after reading Russie's post, LOL win.

    But yes, my suggestion is to sell the Frostcovered Sign, buy Vast Land or farm/buy TT90 Bow/Xbow, that should hold you until you get either Heaven Shatterer or TT99 Bow/Xbow.

    Woah , can't let my faction mates have all the fun so let's go :

    Aha haha , and more ahahahahah .


    ROFL Uriah !

    That's the archer that tries to fight me in melee range & say's " too much time & focus wasted on kiting " .

    Spamming wingspan on HA targets is legit , yo !
    It's all about LoL,yo.

    First of all, I got the FC crossbow at lvl85. I'm now using a +10 Rank 8 that I got before the sale...b:surrender
    As far as the kiting goes. Yeah, I duel without kiting because I try to sharpen my in-close fighting for TW because you can't always kite away when you have four or five people on you. And there is absolutely nothing to lose by trying things out in a duel. What I have learned in duels has kept me alive several times in TW.
    I currently have atk lvl40 with the Jones Blessing equipped, plus the 15% extra dmg from Sage Bow Mastery, for a total of 55% to ranged dmg.
    And because I don't use fists or a heavy helm like all the other wannabe BMs, I have a high amount of dex, giving me high evasion and phys atk.
    Here is a SS of my build. The phys atk is unbuffed in the left pic. It is sparked with no buff in the right one.

    dmg-1.jpg

    And speaking of fail. I got some nice screenies of Russiee on Martin's account bragging about stealing his stuff. Nice to see your true colors finally showed through.
    I currently have 478 PvP kills (with Boogie and Russiee on that list also) and never kill farm. I have only been in PK mode three times since I started playing the game. So almost all of them are from the 100+ TWs I have attended with Haven, NPC, and Vicious.
    The bottom line is this. You can roll Sage or Demon. You can have whatever equipment. And you can still be fail.
    Anyone that has squadded with me or TW'd with me knows I can play my class and build. If you haven't done either, you have no solid ground to base your opinion on. So do me a favor and find someone else to troll instead of jumping on the bandwagon with an archer who was wearing a lvl40 Rank chest at lvl99 because it made him more "aps".

    Now, as far as weapons go (since I don't want to be off subject, even though this thread is obviously necro), the HS is a much better bow than the Broadland. The debuff is a nice attribute when it works. I have seen four Demon archers hitting the same barb with HS's in an NPC vs QQme TW and not one of them landed a debuff.
    Another reason I would pick the HS over the FC weapon is because you can Nirvana it. The Broadland is pretty much dead end.

    I agree with you that about learning -- you have to try and fail when you are learning things.

    That said, one of sage archers advantages is our range, demon has some significant advantages for close in fighting.

    That said, the rank bows do not have +range, which makes outranging someone a lot harder when you use one (their added damage and reduced interval are really nice, but if I had a choice I think I would have gotten a crossbow with added range instead of reduced interval, because that works better with how I like to play sage -- and, also, some other classes have 35m range -- actually, technically speaking, some wizards can hit a target 47m distant).
    I just got my FC Sign, and I was wondering which FC wep to get, The bow is really nice but when the skill procs its suicide, and the crossbow is pretty good too, but which is better in the end(I mostly do pve)

    Personally, I would get a gornex vanity.

    Also: you can get the bow without the sign. If you really wanted the ranged weapon, and you understood how to buy and sell stuff for good prices, you could probably sell the fists and buy the 1000 pasts for the bow and make a profit without too much time invested.

    this invalidates ANY point you may have had. only BMs should use fists. even then i still say an axe/vit build is better.

    I would really prefer if you actually read my paragraph after the one you quoted.

    I wrote it for a reason, you know...

    Then you did not comprehend it.

    So, just for you, I will use short phrases:

    get fists
    sell fists
    profit
