Kyou, I think you might've gotten the Arbalest information wrong. It says with Xbow Mastery, Crossbows would get 58% which is true, but on the jap wiki, it says the Arbalest can get 53% crit normally. Does it not benefit from Xbow Mastery, because if it did, then that should be 68%. Correct me if I'm wrong now.

I don't play elf, so I'm not sure how many elf users are aware of this "trick," but I'll throw it out there for those who are not aware of this.
Friends and I call it "moving shot." It's quite similar to the "step shot" in the op, but you do this same thing on a horse. While on horse, your aim meter is capable of producing 50% accuracy (while moving). However, some of you must have noticed this, but when you shoot, while moving towards the enemy, the arrow hits 99% of the time, if not, 100%. Imo, it's a crucial trick to make use of as an elf.
Stay on your horse. Use the advantage of your mobility and tricks like these to keep you alive. As an elf, the last thing you want is missing that shot that will send you out of that shadow mission. It's very useful for scc when cleaning up mobs that does not die from your initial crash shot.
The combo, "moving shot"+magnum+"moving shot"+magnum works wonders on the semi-boss shadow ghost (can work on regular mobs too).
I'd suggest esb/highlander long bow combo for all elves, though it's really your preference.
I didn't see a good elf scc video on youtube, so I stole one from nico and uploaded it for those who does not have access to these kind of videos.

Have fun, and good luck to all elves! To the op, great guide! :D

Yes, I've noticed that too... Whenever you're horseback, follow-up ranged attacks seem to have 99~100% accuracy while you're running. However, G13 made horseback archery a lot less safe in a sense... you can no longer dismount immediately after a ranged attack, so while that elf in the video can crash shot-> dismount to follow up with a crash shot as the mount retains all aggro, we aren't able to do so anymore. I think it's not just mounted archery, though, trans/windmill animations won't let you immediately mount like they used to either.
Mounted Archery has no Sharp Mind skill, so if an enemy sneaks up on you with a smash you can't just dismount to avoid it anymore (and you can't windmill on a horse) >:
As for single targets... don't bother with regular range, lol. You can Magnum-> Magnum -> Magnum indefinitely as long as you're on a Thoroughbred since you will always be able to get 99% aim with any bow that has enough stun.

Aaah, I've been wondering why that elf got off his horse after that crash shot. As for magnum, magnum, I haven't tried it yet, but it appears that it would be greater than a shot/mag combination if they manage to land. Yes, being unable to mount after wm/smash, is very annoying. :<

fuuuuuuuuu, accidentally cut out half the guide in transition to cutting it in half
asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfa
Currently working from memory to rebuild this, from now on in, I'll make an offline archive.
Okay I did the best I can bringing the guide back, I'll update more of it later today when I finish my homework
Finished the update, finally.

Does the Elven Long Bow suffer from Elf Durability too?

Yes.

So that means the Guardian Bow is the ONLY Bow in the game NOT to suffer from Elf Durability?

Quick question, Im sorry if its been answered, but Im kinda confused, Elf durability is from shooting two arrows, only that one bow doesnt suffer from it, but elf prof is also from shooting two arrows, does that bow get the double prof? Im assuming it doesnt, but I would like to know.
Thanks!

I can confirm that at least before G13, Guardian Bows still got double prof.

What SM's should I try doing with rB Range, rF Mag and ~120 dex (total 66, so no Int+)? and around uh...40-ish crit? I have 2 Finest Shadow Crystals, so should I just wait for Daily SM's? (I did a Fomor Attack basic for ~130k exp with crystal (originally 62k)) Really stuck on leveling, been a long time since I had a newbie character xD

I would save those shadow crystals for when you get an elite pass your stronger friends want to do that also happens to be a daily mission. :D
