I'm at work atm but i remember there was more difference. I'll check this evening and i'll post the correct information ^_^

Here we are.

Lv 20 weapon: bow (34-49) avg:41.5 xbow (67-88) avg: 77.5

3 sec damage: bow => 41.5*3 = 124 xbow => 77.5*2 = 155

Xbow has better DPS. And with regular mob u wont miss a hit. The only miss are the KQ boss sometime, but against them bow miss too

Um no. The AVRG damage on a crossbow is 50 and a bow 40. Now if you use all your skills with a crossbow monster will be dead. Although if you do regular attack monster will die faster with bow. Now it really is preference.

Dude i'm in game now and i took the Damage dates directly from game... How could is average xbow damage 50 if the weapon min damage is 69 ?! Are we talking of the same thing ? I looked at the weapon damage in weapon windows when u bring pointer on.
Maybe u are talking of effective damage on monster, but
whatever formula u use for damage is always bow weapon damage like half than xbow. I noticed it too cos i have bot a lv 20 bow+6 and xbow +6.

go and fight some monsters then youll know what i'm talking about.

I did. U ?

I'll make more test just to know.
