Very Off Topic: Sorry... But your Siggy is crazy.. that little girl gets owned

Back on Topic: um But thats the thing, i wud have to struggle to lvl +70 with crappy skillz... if i did most of it at lvl 16 i wouldn't have that issue and that is a proven strategie[/quote]

Let me help you out- Your opinion is No, I should not invest 16mil in a Lvl 16 +5 Bow... Thats too expensive!

Correct... I would be grateful if others answered like this aswell

If you buy it for a good price and resell it when you are done for the same price or a profit then why wouldnt you buy it if you have the money.

if you are pure int I have heard you can 1 hit with a sos +5 no skills just imbue. Never tried it though. If you are pure str you will not be able to 1 hit without som.......

If you search there are many threads on how quickly you can kill with different bows.

On my server a sos+5 with max blues sells for about 16 mill. A +3 with max blues sells for about 6-9mill.

Okay theres this 1 lvl 16 SoS bow +5 but with Maximum (Im not sure what that is) 82% Durability Reduce... 13mil is it worth it?

Does it have durability increase as well? If so whats the % on it.

Try and get it cheaper, tell him the red stat loweres the price considerably.

doa_master0 · **Joined:** May 2006 **Posts:** 237 **Location:**

Umm yes it has 80% Increase.. so that equals 2% reduce in actuality....

Its Stats are:
Int 3 (100%)
Str 1(0%)
Immortal 5
Steady 2
Astral 2
Attack rating 20% Increase
Durability 80% increase
Durability 82% Reduce

glavie · **Joined:** Dec 2006 **Posts:** 1195 **Location:**

that reduce might be a big pain in the ass. My gut feeling is its not worth it unless its really really really cheap.

I dont know how fast it will break but most people would consider it not worth it.

Selling it might be a nighmare.

Thank You Very Much For Your Opinions.. They have been carefully taken in consideration and .. In Conclusion of this Topic.. I will not buy the bow!!!

...it took me 50 weapon elixirs to +5 my 68 weapon. its less difficult than you thnk...took me about 25 lucky powders... that was still under 16mil
now 3d lucky powders are cheaper and odds are it will go to +5 much quicker.

seems way overpriced if u ask me

Do you intend to go pure str or pure int? And 13 mil is not owerpriced in xian server but I dont know about your server.

16+5 sos bow should be about 7~mil on newer servers. I'm not used to seeing it at 16mil o_o

An alternative is to rush up a lvl 70+ full int nuker, for the purpose of powerlvling a char of your choice (if you can run two clients, with the help of a friend or another comp etc).

About that... How exactly can u rush to 70+ without being underpowered... I would try it if I believed i cud actually kill a monster that lvl.

And what is that bit about ",for the purpose of powerlvling a char of your choice" im not 100% sure what u meant

8- 10M will do. who knows, with your patience, someone might buy it. after all, it has +5. A very good farming weapon.

50 weapons elixirs and 25 lucky, dude, u should always use a lucky powder with elixirs. ALWAYS, and the chance of +5 on a 3D weapon isnt any diff than a lvl 68 weapon

OT: the sos+5 is serverely overpriced, even without a red stat, i say 12-13mil but 10mil b/c it has an ugly red, and when farming durability on ur bow really counts

Each server's economy is different... take Xian server for example, when someone was selling a +5 Lv.16 SOS bow (mind you this was when farming was a big thing before Euro) the average price it went for was 18~20mil...

If you had 26mil, then I would have just saved for an SOM... would have taken a bit longer to find and save for, but it would mean better and faster farming (in my opinion).

But nice catch on the SOS Lv.16 +3 for 5mil... people still buy them for 7mil clean usually...

I will be Grinding it when ever My main char's GT is off

Sry for the late reply. Just disregard my statement since you've bought a sos bow already (at a very good price).
