looming bows/arrows

Is looming a bow or arrow worth it?  They seem to barely improve.

Arrows get more ammo, but there are plenty of 1h weapon that take up 0 slots so one could just take an extra quiver.

Thoughts?

Once for bodkins perhaps for the arrows, but other then that there are much higher priority items to look like gloves and bows.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

+1 Bodkins offer +3 quiver size, +2 Bodkins still only +3 quiver, and +3 Bodkins are +5 quiver. 

Stick to just +1 for now. 1LP, 9 arrows.  2LP, 9 arrows. 3LP 15 arrows.

How about looming bows?  They seem to barely change when +3.  Is the accuracy buff worth it?

I cant really tell the difference between horn bow and MW horn bow, don't really use other bows so can't really say. MW Bodkins are defo worth it though

I think without a +3 longbow, I would have a real lack of accuracy with 150 in archery and 8 PD. Furthermore, as the missile speed and the "reloading" speed is improved, it gives you a better chance to shoot before them.

About arrows, I only got +1 bodkins, and it's fine. No need to waste 1M of gold for 2 more arrows compared to the +1 state.

Bows don't draw any faster loomed. Missile speed stat is shown twice on the item ranks.

Looming bows - yes, even small amount in accuracy and speed is worth it, in some situations it can save you.
Looming arrows - if not bodkins then no. Non loomed bodkins have a bit too small number of then per quiver if you like to spam with arrows using fast bows, or like me, shooting enemies frome huge distance.

Someone can say that there are so many archers nowdays, that you can loot arrows. It is a good argument, but sometimes theris simply no time to loot, or it`s to dangerous to get out from your lovley position. :mrgreen:
Archer forever :D
