Soo What do YOU think would be the best cross bow for thf? Im getting so many different answers from different friends :( halp?

Ziska's Crossbow > Staurobow (Price and Stats wise)
Personally I use Velocity Bow on THF (waiting for signed +1), not a terrible crossbow, but +1 would be better than Stauro imo because of the muuuuuuch lower delay.
Ziska's > pretty much everything else though. EDIT: Oooooooops >_> I meant Leo Crossbow, not velocity! (How did I not see that earlier?) I still want Leo +1 though >_>; velocity bow is a good crossbow too :P
agi+1 kk thanks :D I got my Ziska's last night <3 Havent used it only for a couple shots on high evasion mobs :D
For thf your mostly using it for status/blood so the lowest delay and racc are what you are lookign for. Hence why everyone said ziska's
Siren.Stewie said: I've solo'd it RDM/NIN it's not hard :D besides, THF has access to large amounts of RAcc gear and I assure you 1M can get you a lot more than 5 RAcc.
for me.. the best cross bow was the one with the lowest delay >.>; so u can pop a blot of asap... real helpful in solo'n things u can just pop enfeeble bolts quickly, then macro back those hp bolts and pop them. party situation? i dont remember the last time i actually poped a bolt in a party quite honestly unless i needed to cure myself. (i mean besides pulling, which dont even do that offen anymore)
edit: using a crossbow with thf it isnt about the damage its about the bolts being used / delay. and obvious reasons if u cant land a bolt easily then u need more rng acc or agi, rng att ectect that boost damage means ***on a crossbow lolthfwithcrossbow
Kinda want that Octant though since it's free And Ziska just looks awesome! Titan.Chster said: lolthfwithcrossbow yea, kinda goes good with the lolthfusecrossbowtosavehismotherf'nlife.

I gave up crossbow a few years ago and if you need that to save your life then you are doing something wrong
i use perdu because im too cheap to buy a ziska and dont feel like soloing that moth. well not really the nm but the mobs to spawn him... and i like to lolmrckristhfsubbingrngusinglolslugshot when camping low lvl nms like the ones im doing now -.- stupid blighting brand or w/e and his brother. /sigh on drop rate. oh and it was free. and not much more delay.
and if i need to claim fast...and can't /engage some random mob and slug shot nm when he pops <--favorite claiming technique btw. i pop some darts into its ***. and as thf/nin soloing nms with aoe or fast attacks. or def moves like king artho xbows are nice...if your a thf who doesnt use xbow you prolly dont solo nms or do anything solo Siren.Stewie said: I've solo'd it RDM/NIN it's not hard :D besides, THF has access to large amounts of RAcc gear and I assure you 1M can get you a lot more than 5 RAcc. Now if I could buy this for a mil... maybe but probably not who uses eva rings? >.> just pop o-hat and 2 range rings and that should give you enough...
Titan.Chster said: Kinda want that Octant though since it's free Because timing your ranged attacks between mob attacks is hard? And any job could solo it if you were bored enough, I'm sure you at the least have a mage friend that knows how to run in circles and cast a spell.

And any job could solo it if you were bored enough, I'm sure you at the least have a mage friend that knows how to run in circles and cast a spell. Seriously doubt any job could solo it. I probably could but seriously is it worth the time investment? I'm hearing 1/25 is the norm. I can farm 1mil way faster than that lol Sub RDM as any job, pull it to where nothing will aggro, DoT it to death. Any job can solo any mob that doesn't have movement speed+ if you know how to abuse terrain.
i've never need eva rings on my thf and i've solod alot...i personally like to hit my target so 10-14 acc > than 4? eva i forget the best eva+ rings. and.. i mean if can always use 2 of the +5 agi rings if your scared about dropping a shadow..
yeah any job can solo that nm...."ANY"
anyways back on topic the octant bow is the best. lowest delay and good range acc. here let me do this Best NM xbow --> Octant Best AH xbow --> ziska Best points xbow --> perdu Best cheap AH --> umm leo/leo+1? personally, I could care less which Xbow a thf uses, so long as they're actually using one and popping off at least one acid bolt now and then. I mean, I can see why a fire bomblet or bomb core would be better for some mobs (mostly bigger NMs), but not using them in a group setting when there's a decent chance the effect could proc. just makes a thf look lazy/cheap to me.
