Meh, i pay about 350 for each of my quivers, and around 700 gold for my bow. +300 for my gloves and 300+ for my armor.
Mind you that archers already got an upkeep nerf. There bows and arrows break more often then anything else. Without a constant x4-5 i actually lose gold.
But yes Corrade puts it down nicely. Shows you just how broken heirlooming is. Still i hear nobody meantion, the fact that heirlooming a plated coat x3 ie, is about as strong as a black armor, costs WAY cheaper and is WAY lighter. So why not give light armor a good heirloom value as well? It seems only reasonable for balancing matters. Since at this point, light armor users get least value for their heirloom points then any other classes.
And aside from that. Its funny how many try to pull shit onto me, like saying im exploiting bugs etc etc. But may i remind you, that most of you been crying just as much about me, as when i was using a studded leather coat. Just now that most got the knowledge that Light strage armor is actually medium armor, and heirlooms like it. people start pointing fingers and whine about it. This shows only how uneducated people are on cRPG, and how there oppinion is only based on he-said-that-she said bullshit. Dont come here, when you dont know jack-shit about what kind of equipment is actually out there.
And ps keshian, ive seen you play on your server, and in strategus. Honestly what you say, doesnt mean anything to me anymore.... you are far from being as specialized as you want people to believe.
ide rather shoot my arrows as accurate as i can, isntead of spamming arrows with some shitty wpf from a rooftop. I refrain from being a rootop spam archer, it only generates the hate we have for archers now.
Haters will hate
Emo's will cry
you see, i really don't pay much attention to what an archer wear or don't. it's not a matter of using it as an archer, or using it as a melee. is broken and need a fix.
lets put it like this. that armor is gamebreaking for archers and for melee, but for melee is really too much. by having a lordly light strange fugly armor, a lordly set of mittens, a whatever helm and boots plus a decent 2h/polearm, you'll end with a 54 body armor set, a really light weight setup, (perfect for a 27/12 build) and a silly upkeep.
i'll say it again, i'm really sad about your quiver upkeep, bow upkeep and no more nock&jump. but that armor is broken and need a fix. as the armor before that (studded leather over mail) is correct and gets only +4 armor with the lordly retirement.
going on saying that you already pay too much, the archer had too many nerfs, it's poinless. it's just a exploitable item that need a fix... have nothing to do with archer builds.
