[edit] Bows you still need:

I looked at your list and thought wow alot of bows but how many do you still need so I thought make I list for you.(ps. There are some recurve bows without the bow name in the list, I changed this for you there also is a bow which doesn't exist. Koren’s longbow doesn’t exist does this need to be Koren’s Hornbow? At the moment you have 54 gold bows, 53 green bows + because you got a normal golden wintergreen bow but this is a greeny. I changed that too. So in total you have 107+1(wintergreen) bows out of 159total ingame bows. So you still need 51 bows.There are also some bows you dont have but they are only getable as blue one's and you got the 20golden bows from the bonus mission pack who are only costumized tradeable. If I count the total bows+ those blue one's and the BMP one's you get, 159+22+20=201 in total, and you have 108 of them at the moment:

I hope I helped you a bit with it which you still need and which you don't:), you can at this list to the frontpage if you like. Also check that Koren's Longbow because it doesn't exist I goes it is the Koren's Hornbow, if so you can remove it from my list. Greetings Death Sligher 16:30, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

This is incredibly helpful, DS. I'm going to take a look at the questions you've posed and see how I can incorporate this. I will also try to carve out time to go through all my storage girls to see if I happen to have a bow or two that I have not listed. I will be happy to have this as a point of reference. It's a very helpful tool to have, and thanks for putting it together! -- Gaile 04:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Gaile I have the following Greens Deldrimor Short Benwah's Recurve Koren's Horn pm me in game Spike Firemane so I can give u the bows

Dont forget to delete them out of the list Gaile or Spike Firemane. Don't know what gaile wants, when it is received:P. But it needs to be updated.Death Sligher 00:37, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

This is quite the fun project. I'm currently pulling up all my storage girls and checking to see what I have that I've just forgotten to update. I will use strikethrough for now, so that I can update the main page. -- Gaile 22:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Spike -- I added you to my friend's list. I see you're not online just now, but I will do my darnedest to remember to come on at different hours to meet with you. It's very kind of you to offer those bows! :) -- Gaile 22:04, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

I live in EST zone so depending what zone your in can make it difficult to catch each other! Not to mention I was invited by my brother to see Sweeney Todd at the last minute! Sorry!

I'll be on around 6:30pm EST to do the "trade"

Hi Spike. Thanks a lot for your kindness. And congrats on your title track -- it's very impressive that you've gotten so far in just around one year. Let me know when you hit GWAMM. :) -- Gaile 19:56, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Just found the bramble recurve bow, so if your ingame I can give it to you.Death Sligher 19:52, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

I have a spare Inallay’s Hornbow if you would like it. Koreena Anchalis 21:19, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

I have some bows for you Gaile, next time I see you on. :) — PmaN 01:59, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

(Reset indent) Gaile, I have a spare oldschool gold q10 <+15 stance> Zealous Jade Longbow that you're more than welcome to have. As a longtime ranger, I also have a soft spot for bows, and I love that you're collecting all of them. My absolute single most treasured GW possession is my q9 Dryad Bow. That is one of the most amazing bow skins I've seen, not only in GW, but in any game I've ever played.AnClar 04:14, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi AnClar. Regular Jade, not Longbow? Yes, I do need that and would love to have it IF it is an extra. :) (The Dryad bow was, as I recall, a winner in one of the contests a few years ago -- I agree, it's just gorgeous!) -- Gaile 21:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean by "regular" Gaile. I thought the Jade Bow only came in the longbow variety. If not then after over 4 years playing GW, I learned something new.  :-). What I have is a Jade Longbow, and it is a spare so if it is the one you need, it's yours. If not, please excuse this grasshopper's humble ignorance. AnClar 04:48, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Dont forget to line the shortbow and charrbows Gaile^^.84.80.151.136 19:45, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

i havent left my mark here for a while :O ... i missed u at halloween(forgot dist. change) --Neil2250 10:54, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Neil. I hope you're doing well. Perhaps we'll run into one another during Wintersday. I will be there a lot. :) -- Gaile 22:34, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Question

Can you report verbal abuse directly to the support team? If so is it different from filling out this, or the same? Thanks ¤Dark ';~;' Chaos¤ 19:06, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi DC. The form you've linked to is the NCsoft website report form, and that is an excellent means to contact support and let them know about the verbal abuse situation. One can use any of the means on the page to which this links: support, including a simple email. However, I happen to feel that the support form is the best and most efficient means to report the matter because it asks for all the relevant info at the beginning, which allows the team to get started on their investigation promptly.

Incidentally, someone said "How can I use the form when my account was hacked? I don't have access!" But the Support Account is different than the NCsoft Master Account. In other words, you might be Teddy Bear on your NCsoft Master Account and use an entirely different user name and password for the support form. This ensures that even people whose NCsoft Master Account was hacked can access and get help from Support. -- Gaile 21:49, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the help! ;D ¤Dark ';~;' Chaos¤ 21:31, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Benwah's Recursive Bow.

It never ends! --RIDDLE 02:07, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I made a small typo. Make that "Recurve" and I think the list is up-to-date. :) -- Gaile 02:15, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

A friend just gave me the Bramble Recurve Bow. I typed it real slowly so I wouldn't do my usually mess-up. :) -- Gaile 21:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Idk, i quite like babbling reclusive bows. Tidas 00:04, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] oh NOES!

im stuck in a pickle(Help its too green in here)

No realy im in trouble,( i broke someones window)

No no REALY , i haz a problem( its asma DK how i spell it)

(Note,all above are true :O)

Ok,back on point- im stuck on which to get, Bows for you- or elite Kurzick armor for my necro :O Any NON-biast ideas? --Neil2250 17:02, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Buy a taco, there's an unbiased idea ;D--Unendingfear 17:11, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Well getting the elite armor might be a bit more fulfilling as the list of bows is long and will take a while to complete, however your basically just chosing between selfish and selfless, damn morality. Also - asthma, I think. Tidas 17:17, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Double your funds. And then do both at the same time. --RIDDLE 17:27, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh there's no question. Get the armour for your character first, by all means. And finish up with the other things you want to have, seriously. The bow collection is a very, very long-term project -- it may take another year or two (or even more) to finish the complete sets for Greens and Golds. I hope that everyone who helps with the collection is doing so after he gets his own account spiffied up. I hope the bows are extras, for I wouldn't want to think people were sitting in starter armour because they've invested in a bow. ;) Being generous is well appreciated, but I don't want anyone to make huge sacrifices. (And that armour is really nice, too, so go for it!) -- Gaile 18:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Shal do!--Neil2250 22:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bow Woe

Hey Gaile, thank you for your ongoing attention to the account hacking issues; surely you guys are working hard to prevent losses for everyone in the future. In this regard and on a personal note: I see you are a bow aficionado; you will perhaps share my pain in the loss of my most prized possession during this ordeal: File:User_Fred_K_Storm_Bow.png :( Fred K 23:22, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Dear lord. I just got tears in my eyes over a lost bow?!? Come on, I gotta get a grip.

Fred, I'm super, super sorry that you lost that. I have a version of that bow -- through my own gameplay and through the help of a few friends. (I keep all bows I'm given, so I sometimes have two that are close or even identical.) However, I don't think I have any, on any of my (many) Rangers, that are quite that awesome. As I've said before, one of the things I do is incident analysis and, occasionally, item retrieval and restoration, in the rare (and I do mean rare) occasions when we can do one. If I come across that bow, I will see if I can track it back to your account and if that's the case, I'll be in touch. (And folks, we do try to do that for all hacked accounts, it's just confoundedly difficult.) -- Gaile 05:19, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Gaile, I appreciate the effort. I'd like to say the generosity of some members of the community has been really surprising to me. Thanks to Wynthyst and Knox for both already replacing some lost items on the list I posted in my userspace, I have credited them for doing so. Knox put 30 ecto down on a R9 replacement of my bow! I was speechless; maybe I can save up and trade for a R8 one again someday. Sorry for using your talk page as a soap box on this post, but I just want to give these guys some recognition for being so generous and let you know that my opinion of humanity and Guild Wars has turned around. Fred K 07:50, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey, it's ok to give credit to nice players here, any time. I'm glad you're getting things restored, and hope that you'll soon be back in good shape. :) -- Gaile 21:33, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

Yep thank you, hey did you get my email I sent through wiki? Fred K 21:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

I don't rly get why your main goal would be to destroy people's accounts. Stealing their stuff is one thing (yes its still bad) but salvaging things that are worth **** to you is another :/ Lilondra 05:51, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Just to wrap this up, I wanted to know add a note that Fred and I have exchanged emails, and we're up to speed on the discussion. And yes, Lilondra, I agree with you. I don't understand theft at all, but taking items that have no value is beyond that despicable act, it's almost a double helping of evil. :( -- Gaile 22:30, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Gaile, Just stopped in early, to wish you a Safe & Happy Thanksgiving!
PS. Have some Pie and some Apple Cider

Thanks a lot for your good wishes, Mysti. I had a great holiday -- hope yours was nice, too! -- Gaile 01:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Have a great one ^-^--Unendingfear 17:31, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Happy Thanksgiving, have some pumkin pie: [1] Death Sligher 19:48, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Lovely image, and thanks for the greetings. I hope yours was nice, too. (Or, if you're in Europe like DS, that you enjoyed the event in-game, anyway. :) -- Gaile 22:24, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Why? :(

Why are people living in the state of Rhode Island excluded from winning the GW contests on www.guildwars.com?  :( This makes me very sad (living in RI) that I have no chance of winning even if I try very hard. Now Im not going to enter any more contests because of this. Sigh :'( ¤Dark ';~;' Chaos¤ 01:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Ouch, that sucks :o--Unendingfear 01:44, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Blame your state senate and governor. elix Omni 02:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, they're not excluding specific regions like that because they want to, but because of the law and regulations of that specific area that prohibit taking part in contests like this in one way or another. — Poki#3 (talk) 04:33, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bow collection.

Hey, for your bow collection List at the top of this page. Is that updated? I have tonns of bows, and would love to help out.-Smerf 03:36, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Not yet updated I gave her the Shortbow, and 5charrbows which arent marked yet. I also got all 5death bow for her laying in my storage. But have seen her till now. Guess she has otherthings to do first besides her bowcollection:). Death Sligher 14:09, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

I had that marked up to edit a few days ago, but had to get into a conference call and forgot to save. I really need about a day to go through all bow carriers on all accounts and move them onto a single account -- alphabetized, of course. ;) I've pretty much done that now, though, so I think I'm up to date. -- Gaile 04:26, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
