Re: ISO: 4 open socket Grand Matron Bow
Any four open socket GMB will work (as long as it's not magic, obviously.
)
The skills on the bow don't matter, it's the bow type. It's a long discussion (which is best summarized by the damage/speed calculators), but for my build, i need the speed/damage range of a Faith GMB. All GMB's have *some* + to bow skills, but it wouldn't matter to me if it had zero skills on it (even though that's not possible).

I think what Phlier's saying is he'd offer the same for a +1 as for a +3, whatever that is.

Re: ISO: 4 open socket Grand Matron Bow
I got the bow I was looking for elsewhere, so this thread is done.
Not looking to get a pre-made Faith. I kinda like to roll most of my own rune words, and since I have the runes to make my own...
Yup, that's *exactly* what I was trying to say. Guess I'm just not very clear...
Same here.I think that it's pretty funny how he asked for a 4os GMB and nothing else, yet offers were made of everything but a 4os GMB.
By the way, I do not have your item.

Re: ISO: 4 open socket Grand Matron Bow
I have a +3 bow that is clean also, but if you're not paying it's actual true value, then I will keep it and trade to someone else who will. This is a valuable item. It is worth drastically more than a +1 skill gmb or a gmb with no skills at all.
I am not sure why someone would want to make a faith in a bow without +3. Kind of a waste of high runes if you ask me. If you can afford the high runes to make faith, you might as well go the extra mile and do it right.
If these faith high runes are your entire net worth in terms of currency, it's not wise to dump them into a base that you won't be able to trade later. Almost no one will pay a good price for it anymore (unless they are uninformed and you don't tell them that +3 bases exist).

From Arreat Summit: "Auto Mods
Amazon auto modifiers show up on all Amazon Bows, Amazon Javelins, and Amazon Spears, whether they are of low quality (Cracked, Crude, Damaged, Low Quality), normal quality, Superior, magic, or rare. One affix from a given group is chosen, based on the level of the item and the levels of the auto mods available. Auto mods with higher (affix) frequency are more likely to spawn" and the auto mods that are assigned to all amazon-specific bows: "Bow (Affix) (Affix) (Affix)
Auto Prefixes* Group Level Level Req.* Freq. Auto Mod Properties
Fletcher's 300 1 15 3 +1 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon Only)
Bowyer's 40 30 2 +2 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon Only)
Archer's* 60 45 1 +3 to Bow and Crossbow Skills (Amazon Only)
So again, ALL Amazon specific bows will have at least +1 to bow and crossbow skills, and to emphasize what the Arreat Summit says about it " Auto mods with higher (affix) frequency are more likely to spawn"
And for my particular build, plus to Bow and Crossbow just isn't that important. I've seen a few GMB's in my days (played D2 for 8 years total), and I've never seen one yet that didn't have +3 on it. The bow I was given (no cost) was a +3 B&C four socket GMB.
As for my total net worth... I've been playing for 8 years.
It isn't possible for a GMB to *not* have + to bow and crossbow skills on it.

Re: ISO: 4 open socket Grand Matron Bow
Interesting, though, I had three PM's from people here offering to give me a +3 B&C four socket GMB for free. I accepted the first offer, and turned down the other two.:scratchchin:
No worries. I'm sure you'll be able to get whatever you're asking for your bow.
