best bow?

[Sekel]

Yes Fragbait. Thats possible. And there is more "other" options than Attika described.

(Gris WILL sell you a Savage/Heavens bow as soon as you hit clevel 24, and will continue to do so throughout your further leveling.  Same with +Resistance/ +damage bows.)

Actually 23 clvl, but trying to buy it with character under 25 is nothing than time waste.

That means the best way to locate a good bow of Swiftness for you in Single Player will be to hunt it up in the dungeons.  Try bosses on 8 and dungeon levels 9-11 in general -- that will be your best chance of locating em.  Of course, for every new game you create, you'll be having to fight your way down to Caves via the Church entrance, since all the other entrances are sealed in Single Player until you find them via game play.

Hey this argument is funny. In fact for finding Eaglehorn you have to reach even deeper levels than 9-11. So as argument again Eaglehorn ill repeate your words :-)
"PLUS you realize that in playing Single Player, you must fight your way from the Church entrance to get to deeper levels? I mean, there is NO entrance to Caves or Hell in Single player until you walk through the dungeons and find it"

So you need more money to buy that bow at Wirts?  Start at Church and fight downward until you have enough cash, and pray you don't level up to an even clevel in the meantime so that he refreshes his item for sale.  Tedious again.

Finally, there's that problem of money. I'm hoping you know how to change the difficulty setting from Normal to either Nightmare or Hell difficulty even though you are playing Single Player, yes?  So more money can drop even in Church, yes?

Well, if he knows how to change difficulty setting in SP, then he cannot afraid of lvlup, because he can collect enough money and then start shopping, right?

Ok, so why Eaglehorn?  A few reasons.

#1.)  Easily findable.  It's qlevel 26, can start dropping from chests on Hell 13 and from certain bosses even earlier.

Huh, easily findable??? I dont think so....

#3.)  But best of all, it's indestructible.  No worries about bow repairs.  no worries about the cash for said bow repairs.  And don't think you'll be finding Hidden Shrines for your Single Player bow -- only a few bows have a durability ending in "5" and unless you're playing Hellfire you won't be able to affect that durabity-ending number (Playing Hellfire?  Cornerstone of the World, send bow to a warrior, have him fix it using his skill, hope he fixes it to a number ending in five, send it back).  And Hidden Shrines have a tendancy to hit the item in your left hand (usually your shield slot), and they'll do that in great preference to other slots.  Well, it you are trying to increase your bow's durability, and have that in your hands when you hit the Hidden Shrine, guess what object is going to take the -10 durability hit?  The first game, almost a 100% chance it will be the bow.  In further games, more like a 1/3 chance.  But, then, you'll soon find yourself creating games just to search for Hidden Shrines.  Is that what you want to be doing with your time in your Single Player games?  Shrine hunting?

In SP there is no problem with Shrines, Goat shrines or Cauldrons. Just came in front Goat/Cauldron, save game and touch it. And youll see what happens. Something wrong? Then simply load game :-) Did you touch Eldritch Goat/Cauldron with lot of crap in inventory? Load game back and go to town for all yout potions. Did you touch Hidden? Look what it hit, than load game, put some crap on that place and touch it again. Well, its true, that Hidden likes left hand, but its valid especially for s/s setup. When I searched for CC, my bow end with 190 Dur. Thats not so bad I guess :-) (On multiplayer)
In relation to 0 chance to decrease durability of "good item" in Single player is Hidden shrine very nice thing to find.

Eaglehorn is really nice bow. But say we have 2 rogues who finished game once (clvl 25). First one choose playing again and again and again to find Eaglehorn. Second one will collect some money on higher difficulty (probably lvlup) and start shopping.
IMO, In time when first Rog find Eaglehorn will the second Rog have got +%DMG/Heavens or Obsi/Heavens bow with 250 durability and 3.rd dot. :-)

This my article IN NOT against Eaglehorn neither Attika. I just think that Eaglehorn choice is not as good as Attika describes :)
Thats my point of view.
