Max Range: 900 ft.
Type: Bow
Appearance:
Required Attributes:
-Strength: 180
-Dexterity: 60

Base Damage: 100
Damage Scaling:
-Strength: low
-Dexterity: medium

Max Block Damage (shields only): N/A

Feet per Second (ranged only):200 f/s. Drops 50 f/s every 200 ft to a min of 50 f/s.
Ammunition Required? (ranged only): Arrows (cost 1/4 gold to buy. need 50 craft to make, and 50 words).
Cost to Buy: 60
Craft to Make: 150
Word Count to Make: 800

Just for starters, please compare the craft section to other weapons already in the game. If this costs 3,000 gold then it's basically worth the same as two thousand long swords. If you were king/queen of a city of 100 people (prettt darn big), it would take you 3 weeks to get that kind of money. And that's assuming you hoard all the gold and let your peaseant starve.
Also, add a little section for crafting arrows.
I'll be back to add more criticism later. Good luck!

Ok, back to criticize more. Drop the range to 900 feet (345 yards is a little far for the average archer). Take the strength scaling down from medium to low, and up required strength to about 120. You could proabably also raise required dex a little, and drop craft to make down to the 70 to 100 range. Also I think you could raise the speed of the arrows by 50 to 150 f/s (more on the 50 side), and then add in something like "loses 50 f/s for every 200 feet traveled, down to a minimum of 50 f/s". Take a look at the sling for an example. This sn't an official rule or anything, just one that I made up to make it more realistic, but it's a good idea. Sorry for harassing you wth so many changes, it's just that this needs some.... adjustments.

Ok so i changed it and added a bit on how to make arrows. You happy?

Pretty good. Just drop base damage round off range to feet, and change word count on bow to 800 (80x10). Also, raise craft to make an arrow, but keep word count the same, and finally, lower cost of arrows to maybe four or five per gold.
Also, the longbow's price is still too high. 500 = about 25 longswords.
In general, looking better.

LONGBOW BROKEN GG WP

MID FED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You still haven't changed some of those things.

now i have HAPPY?

Now you have no happy.
*cough* base damage *cough* price is still too high after second sdjustment *cough*

Guess who also isn't happy? Haha, me! 80 craft isn't a lot, and anyone serious on crafting can get there really quick. The max is 600, and this is a now we are talking about; a long bow, those were hard to make. Try raising the required craft.
Also, go to bed, Eli.

so jasper i changed you happy?

Base damage still seems a little high to me.
Price really still needs to be changed, but you know what, screw it. Approved.
Good night.

So i changed the costbut you got to remember that long bows could peirce full plate armor and kill the man waering it. so i'm noth going toi change the damage.

Base damage is fine. Might want to raise required strength a bit though, because longbows were incredibly difficult to shoot, due to their draw weight. Make that change, and approved.

Fixed it maybe this time i got it right

Sure, approved
