I've been trying to decide on what bow I want to get, and make my permanent bow. So I ask you, what do you think is the best bow, and why? I'm currently favoring the Blue Metus, as for its 2 dex, and fast weapon speed. (and can easily get to atleast 100 attack with lousy scrolling)

Blue metus is not good as a final bow. It's very expensive because of it's fast speed and you won't benefit from the speed bonus when you reach 4th job because hurricane isn't effected by bow speed. IMO- the best final bow is nisrock, because it looks cool, not very expensive, kinda common and it's actually possible to find good scrolled ones for sale.

But, I think if you had to chose I'd say 112/114.(odd numbers are annoying) I was thinking of a nisrock as well, but I'm low-str and they require, 105 str, which isn't much, but yeah, I'll probably look into the market in Windia for Nisrocks, Arunds, and Metus' to see which are cheaper. Obviously the lower the level the more expensive they'll be, I just don't want something common, as I like being unique, and if I had something well scrolled that was a lower leveled bow I'd feel better about myself, whereas nisrocks are always near 110 scrolled.
