Bow is awesome, sadly it’s an uncommon BL drop (acc bound), and due to my crappy RNG I’ll never be able to get it 🙁
I’m hopeful it’ll be purchasable with Statuettes in the future
I got mine in the first 25 LC.
I bought the 25 pack of Lions Keys and after using up 10 Lions Keys I was able to get the both the bow and quiver skin.
OMG a German Shepherd! I NEED DIS!!!!
Mixed feelings about it. It gives bonus mats but is the single most immersion breaking equip I have ever seen. The animation also seems incredibly long unless you can walk off after the bar is done.
It’s probably like other harvesting tools in that weapon swapping breaks the animation so you can walk off after the gathering bar is complete.
How often does one get resources?
Anectdotally a few friends have stated ” feels like a little less than the clockwork thing from the other pick”
Also, how low is low tier? Tiers 1 – 2? 1 – 4? I’m guessing it won’t drop T5 or T6 mats due to the potential of glutting the market, but if it only drops T1-2, I’m not sure if it’s worth it.
If it occasionally drops tier 4 though, it will pay itself off in a year or two.
People on the forums have confirmed that T6 DOES sometimes drop. So yeah, this actually seems like an extremely worthwhile purchase.
So I ended up buying this and I’m just sharing my findings so far. I’ve gotten T1, T2 and T5 mats thus far; the tier of the node you are harvesting from does not seem to make a difference. The type of Fine mat received appears to be entirely random; I’ve gotten fangs, blood, totems, dust, bones and claws so far. In terms of drop %, I’d say it’s about the same as the Watchwork pick (about 20% chance of a return), but it’s less noticeable than the pick since the pick has 3 strikes on a single node as opposed to a single strike from plant nodes.
From the photo.. I thought the dog was pooping with gathering.. and then I was disappointed he wasn’t….
Ok that bows design is overkill
Sold! And the dog give potentially extra materials? Double sold!
Getting major monster hunter vibes from that bow, love it.

I think the longer animation is a decent way to balance the positive of getting bonus materials
The Lantern Puppy looks rather cute 😀
So whats the dog’s name
This longbow skin look legendary as f**k.
Wow im really impressed.
Shame they not released 2nd gen. legendary longow already.
While it looks cool, I find it conceptually a bit odd. If you consider it a dragon bow then you should note the fact that the dragon is busy launching arrows forward by flexing them off its abdomen. I don’t see how that would appeal to archers. Nutty hermet pet rangers perhaps, but not archers.
Maybe it’s a legendary longbow project that got rejected or something. Was the same with Storm bow before that (they denied it but that’s what legit leaks said).
What is legit leaks, is it a site? I’d like to take a look I love leaks 🙂
A real shame Arena Net felt the need to flat out lie about that longbow. No way in hell is that thing “uncommon.” Not with how many keys I’ve dropped to get jack shit.
we are all subservient to the RNG gods
I used 2 keys and got it. RNG gods like to surprise you with kindness only to make you suffer later.
like Tantalus, we are bound to hell
Long live RNGesus!!
Snyder’s no “edge lord” dumbass
Oh look. Another gemstore filled update 🙁 :/
They released gemstone stuff every two weeks and have done so for at least 2 years. Your cyclic disappointment is on a pretty tight schedule.
Coincidentally, I’ve been on tight schedule of cyclic disappointment for about 4 months and counting. We get more microtransactions than new playable content right now.
that bow makes me sick. thats legendary skin worthy content so they knowingly put it not only behind paywall but rng. f off anet.
also it’s bloody enormous
also it’s bloody enormous

Why copy paste and repurpose somebody else’s comment? You even left in the ‘coincidentally’ part, which only makes sense contextually.
That is some badass bow and a cool dog.
