Awesome! I've been using this guide to help build my "endgame" gear set. I am planning on buying the bow and the sash. I have the accessories recommended on the guide already. Baby steps in the right direction. Thanks again!

A lot of the information in the guide is now outdated again, unfortunately. I will try to put together an update as soon as I finish my Artemis Bow.
I just resub'd and this is great information. Thank you!
amazing guide, thank you so much

How much damage should a lv 24 archer be doing? I do about 60~80 per skill.. but my friend (hes one of the mage classes ) does like 200+ ..and he has the ability to heal. What the heck am I doing wrong? Maybe im not using my skills correctly? Or maybe its because im only buying warped arrows? Not to mention it takes forever to be able to do some real damage as tp takes a while to fill up...

Yea, you will need to keep your arrows up to date as they contribute considerably to your damage. At your level you can use Iron Arrows which you can buy at the Archer's Guild in Gridania or using company seals. I'd check the markets though, you might be able to find them for cheap.
Is it better to use a bow with lower DPS (like Ifrit's bow) for which I can reach the stat caps or the Lieutenant's Bow but being unable to reach the stat caps?
(Artemis Bow is not an option yet^^°)
well one thing of note that ppl seem to overlook is that WS dmg uses the DPS rating in the formula itself. So if you keep everything constant and only swap in and out bows, the one with the highest DPS rating will do the most dmg.
No.
Stat caps are just the point where raising the stat becomes less efficient than raising Attack Power. It won't overtake a stronger bow because those stats would just make the stronger bow do more damage than the weaker bow anyway.
I can double-check later to compare exact stats, but with roughly equivalent gear, over 4 Garuda kills today, Artemis Bow was doing about 20 points more damage per Light Shot against Garuda compared to Mischievous Mogbow (116 base dmg vs 100) and about 20-40 points more damage per one-hit WS (41.95 dps vs 37.14).
