Was it a mistake to replace my bow?

1. Encore Champion...even though I do have a Gamyu Encore would be a little pointless considering the only R1 music skill I have is Composing. Maybe Special Champion Gamyu?
2. It honestly wasn't a hard dungeon, but it surprisingly took me at least 30-40 runs for my AR 8 to drop. It got annoying even with only 1 or 2 shots on monsters with my Dowras since it still took 20 - 30 minutes because of the length of the floors. Ironically afterwards, another one dropped 3 runs later for my other friend who needed it.
3.That's true. Daily runs and Saga usually help pay for the repair costs on my lance haha (that's about 100-200kish). But wait, those shadow missions can give 300k in just 20 - 30 minutes?? I might start doing that if it can. Actually, what about commercing? Although I will admit it took me a day or two, I believe I accumulated at least 1 mil from commercing before.
4. That makes it sounds like it'll only be practical for rafting, and maybe pvp and a few other places. While range is beneficial, it would be nice to have as near to 150% crit as possible right? Honestly the highest crit I can achieve is about 97% with my lance. More enchants, a good totem, and increasing will and luck would probably help but at the moment it's not too high.

Ok, what if I did stick with the wing bow I've got? It probably is better to opt the wing bow for a highlander (and ideally a true archer would want both wing bow and highlander), but I already spent the money on the wing so....maybe I can stick with it. Been indecisive with all the bows I've had ever since I found out about HLBs requiring marketplace coupons. Anyways, the wing bow...I mean for humans it's not a bad bow right?

1. It's for future investment, but special would work for now.
3. You just need to be able to clear fast. SW soloing is pretty good source of money. For commerce, do it with letters of guarantee.
4. Pvp's stupid, so that's out. It'll pretty much be your rafting bow. 150% crit can easily be obtained with fighter.

Ideally, true archer would want a HLB and a bhafeul hunter.
And simply put, wing bow isn't a great bow, for elf or human.

[FONT="Arial"]The only reason to ever use a wingbow is for an ego, and even then, if you want the best ego, it would be a ringbow.
HLB is the best; I would definitely burn the wingbow and stick the enchants on a HLB instead.
Also, market mods aren't required for a HLB. It is optional. (Though it's preferred anyways, so I guess.. lol)
I'd say a wingbow is pretty bad.[/FONT]

@ironwoman & bunny: Eh....so it was mostly a waste of 2m getting it. The only justification is the enchant to burn and put on a HLB, but even then there's a chance it could fail or I only obtain one enchant. However, I could have just hunted for the enchants if I knew I would end up burning. I guess I could take my time slowly upgrading my HLB since last rebirth I went back to close combat to focus on my warrior skills again to get more strength.

Only question is: Should I really burn an item I may have overpaid for on enchants. Because honestly 2m lost would hit me hard haha.

You got ripped off on that wing bow.

Like I said, lion hunter's is more ideal enchant to put.

Just keep your bow for now and sell it or make it your rafting bow.
