Stats are more broken than we thought

[Richard]

I never once said that it was worth the gil. I never once said that SE has done a good job with the optimization of stats and gear. The only thing I put my foot down on was the fact there there was a difference between option A and option B. For a min/max player, regardless of how broken the system is, 10pt damage increase is better than nothing at all. Also who buys Silver Arrows anyways? The mats take like an hour to farm and you come out with enough stacks to last a month..

@ Aramil - I will test that in the next batch.

on the gil difference i wasn't arguing with your results i was talking about the damage for the money issue. i'm just wondering if for the money if it would be a smarter idea to use say a higher bow and warped arrows or even a lower bow with warped for farming as opposed to high level gear for nm's and other high level mobs.

just because alot of archers make their own arrows my retainers show that a ton of people are still buying their arrows. that has been my biggest money maker in bazaars for months now. i was more wondering if they would be smarter buying the warped from the npc if they buy them for leves/farming and only use the high level stuff on the tougher mobs. on a mob that's tougher even a minor damage increase could be the difference between life and death.
