Enter message:	[quote][i]Quote from: Shadida[/i] OK, although I haven't witnessed a whole moon cycle yet, I do have some substantial observations to offer: I was in an EXP PT as RNG73 yesterday in Kuftal Tunnel, fighting the Greater Cockatrices and Ovinniks in the area beyond the shifting rock. The moon phase was about 35-50% and the monsters were mostly VT, and accuracy and attack were both very good (accuracy especially, I think I was even using Coeurl Subs which offer no accuracy bonus). Later as RNG74, I had another EXP PT this time on Aura Weapons on the first floor of Shrine of Ru'Avitau. The moon phase was now around 55-60%, and the monsters were IT. Accuracy was a lot less than before, but I still managed to nearly keep up with the damage of a RNG75 wearing Kirin's Osode and using Hellfire +1 (and sometimes even exceed him). Same race, same foods used (Sole Sushi), almost the same remaining gear (and I suspect that he has countless merits, just from knowing him). My Sidewinders did about 700 damage average, ranging from 650 to 800. (Rather respectable damage, all things considered.) Today, I fought against two Kirins, one at about 80-85% moon phase, and another at 90-95%. I must say this is where I noticed the first big change. During the first Kirin (Waxing Gibbous) my accuracy must have been 80-90% with Sole Sushi, and I only missed 3 Sidewinders over the course of a 2 hour 20 minute fight. Ranged Attacks did about 30-40 damage (Ice Arrows) while in the optimal range, and Sidewinders averaged about 250 with Kabura Arrows. During the second Kirin, which started after Full Moon did, my accuracy was very, very diminished from where it was the last fight. Damage was modestly better, the same arrows did about 35-45 damage this go around, and Sidewinders, while very, very inaccurate at the same TP levels, were doing about 50-100 damage than they were before. To my knowledge Kirin's level is always the same, so this led met to believe that Full Moon meant maximum attack, least accuracy. I still couldn't be sure though. However, later tonight, I believe I confirmed this. I joined another EXP PT, in which we fought the exact same Aura Weapons I had the other day. Moon phase was now 98-95%, and this time the damage was much, much better than before... Sidewinders averaged more like 800, ranging from 750 to nearly 900 (wow, huh?). I hate to say it, but I put my friend who was using Hellfire +1 and some more STR gear than myself to shame in this PT (his Slug Shots were averaging around 600-700, and even the damage on normal Ranged Attacks came within single digits). Now, all of this information has to be taken with a grain of salt, because I still haven't tried the bow out in EXP during the New Moon phase. If the Ranged Accuracy bonus is anything like the Ranged Attack bonus, then I expect fantastic results. I'll resist the temptation to start using full-fledged attack foods in the interest of this experiment, but I suspect that RNGs will be able to eat things like Coeurl Subs or Yellow Curry without any worries during the New Moon phase. Please, any other RNGs who may have obtained this bow offer your testimonies and either back me up or prove me wrong, I still really want to get to know this bow! - Shadida[/quote]
