Xajorkith said:Ummmm so 2100 + 10% TOA range + Brag arrows = 2360 range
Anyone have stats or pictures for Dragon / TG bow?
Do they come with TOA bonus's?
Is it possible to get 10% ToA range using Dragon / TG bow?
Gimmie gimmie gimmie
Think max +range will be 9% then if using GSV, Sharkskin - and GOLM
+dmg will be lower as well

edit from last post:
http://rothwellhome.org/guides/archery.htm <- This was written up by the scout TL. He stated that hunters have 2000 range, rangers have 2100 range and scouts have 2200 range.
Looking at the spd difference for the various realms, I would safely say that spd does have an influence over range.
Hunters: lvl 51 bow: 5.0 spd
Rangers: lvl 51 bow: 5.5 spd
Scouts: lvl 51 bow: again 5.5 spd
So, imo, spd does influence range & ofc dmg.
This was taken off from MMOPRG.com: - > If you like archers, here is how they break down.
Scout: Best archer. They have the best range and hit hard. They have a shield which is good for blocking shots from other archers, melee attacks, and for stunning. They only have one handed melee, and no self spells or buffs. They make great snipers, but that is about it. Of the archers, they have the best archery (barely) and the worst melee (by quite a bit)
Hunter: They have the shortest range, and faster bows (less damage per shot). They can spec in two handed weapons (sword or spear), have pretty good melee, some self buffs, and can either summon or charm a pet (charming is mostly useless). Of the three archers, they have the worst archery, and the second best melee (depending on how you spec).
Ranger: They have the best melee (depending on spec), and the second best archery. They have a slightly shorter range than scouts, but their bows are comperable so they hit about as hard. They have self buffs which include a damage add. They can dual wield weapons which makes them pretty solid in hand to hand combat. Many even take them all out in melee and just use the bow for pulling or bothering the enemy. They can also be specced as a sniper, and be nearly as good as the scout. Of the archers, they can be a close second in archery, and the best in melee.
All three have stealth and the same basic bow skills. Scouts have bow, stealth, weapon, and shield. Hunters have bow, stealth, weapon, and magic. Rangers have bow, stealth, weapon, magic, and celtic dual. With the same points, it makes rangers slightly harder to spec out, but they are still the overall best archer class.

Hunters have been widely known for the shortest range, again imo, due to the quickest bows.

The range of every single bow is in reality set for each bow, Mythic just made a standard with who gets a range bonus with what type of bow. For example, the Heart of the North(the alb dragon bow) used to have heavy longbow range even though it was 5.0 speed, while some 5.0 speed bows didn't have the same range at that time. The bow that drops in DF also had a low speed, can't remember exactly, but it also has heavy longbow range.
Some grab bag ages ago said that they set the range for each bow upon creation of that bow and the devs perhaps wanted to create some differance with all the bows, which might explain why some of the old bows have different ranges independant of their speeds. The list written by Oaklief should still be valid as to how most bows work though..
On another not.. Sanya gave an answer to a guy who asked why he couldn't see the range of his bow in a grab bag not that long ago that they were looking into putting range in bow delves, that might have been put in by now, but you probably know if it has. Probably not since the base bow range is pretty low and the overall range is boosted by so many different things.
