Not a bug, but I appreciate the concern and the post! :) The code surrounding the stats for each bows were not touched from the original, so everything in that regard is working the same way it was in DR2.

With Bows being under the same skill now, the hunter's bows were nearly unified as "hunter's bows made of (material)" but I wanted to leave it open for you all to specify which you preferred to own by starting with one or the other.

OK, I don't think you folks understood the first time. Here is the appraisal on a capped HUNTERS LONGBOW made in 3.0, not a standard longbow.

A hunter's longbow made of copperwood is a short bow type weapon.
A hunter's longbow made of copperwood trains the bow skill.

The longbow is extremely well designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the longbow is well balanced and is reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the longbow is appreciably susceptible to damage, and is in pristine condition.

It appears that the longbow can be slung over one shoulder.
You are certain that the longbow weighs exactly 20 stones.
You are certain that the longbow is worth exactly 3500 Kronars.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.



This is ONLY true for NEWLY made hunter's longbows. I have a non-capped hunter's longbow made before 3.0, and this is the appraisal on it:

A hunter's longbow made of copperwood is a long bow type weapon.
A hunter's longbow made of copperwood trains the bow skill.

The longbow is superbly designed for improving the force of your attacks.

You are certain that the longbow is reasonably balanced and is reasonably suited to gaining extra attack power from your strength.

You are certain that the longbow is appreciably susceptible to damage, and is in pristine condition.

It appears that the longbow can be slung over one shoulder.
You are confident that the longbow might weigh several tens of stones.
You are certain that the longbow is worth exactly 3000 Kronars.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.



So, once again, the 3.0 hunter's longbow is a SHORT BOW type weapon, when it should be a long bow type weapon. So Falker, when you said it would be a bug, that is exactly what I was talking about. But it's ONLY for hunter longbows. A normal longbow still is a long bow type. A hunter's longbow rates as a SHORT BOW, and appraises EXACTLY the same as a hunter's shortbow. A standard longbow, and a standard shortbow appraise correctly.

Now, it's possible the stats on hunter longbows are meant to match exactly the stats on hunter shortbows. And since I don't have a 2.0 capped hunter's longbow to compare with, I can't know for sure. But it reads very clearly that it is a short bow type weapon, when on 2.0 made bows it read that it was a long bow type weapon. I also know that the 2.0 hunter's longbow has a 3/4 load time, where as the 3.0 hunter's longbow(short bow) has a 2/3 load time. So between 3.0 and 2.0, the hunter's longbow isn't be 100% identical, and that is what makes me doubt the rest of the stats.

Okay, I have hopefully squashed the last of the code that was causing this mix up. Please let me know if something else weird pops up!
