Stylistically I'm a huge fan of more realistically designed, functional looking weapons, and one of my favourite bows is the Augmented Crystarium Bow (the dark knight weapon from this set is another fave). A solid, usable looking bow with a sword attached to the quiver. Very nice. The Rinascita bow shares a model, but can't be dyed that I know of.
As an archer it's definitely nice when the bow looks good and stylish but still like something that could actually used to release an arrow. Many of the ones in ffxiv don't pass this test lol
I am still trying to find ways to make these info more visible but I have to find different "Teaser" Cards for that. My editing software is kinda limited on those 😅
-With the exarchic bow you can go through the augmentation process to make the crystals dyeable.- The colour change is subtle but nice. The augmentation materials now cost poetics. EDIT: The base version is dyeable; no need to augment.
As much as i love a well done glow effect, i HATE that so many bows and bow-harps are so unbalanced in shape. I get the Japanese influence from their iconic longbows, but its not for me. The look of a traditional english longbow suits my preferences. i've been using the Bow of the Wanderer (PVP wolfmark purchase) for years. its clean, its subtly dyable, it is more than just a stick and string. Kinda elvish look. i'd love this base with a good glow effect.
As a BRD main who dislikes 90% of the bows in game because I also don't care for bow-harps, I'm glad you have Yoichi at the top. The version of the final Resistance relic without the particle effects, just the subtle glow on the crystals and inlay bird, is the only other BRD relic I like, and for flashy I do like the Suzaku. But the one that I'm surprised didn't make this list is the Byakko lute-bow, because for a music-themed BRD weapon it is unique, and yet not too bulky or overdone, with all the design weight at the bottom instead of top, and both regular and crafted versions are nice. Makes me wish we had less harp-bows and more lutes and fiddles.
Uhh a question i m deaf myself and liked to play archery but ummm all those gauge songs required to hear/listen to it and play it? Cause i always watch gauges with all those cool downs each turns. 😳
I got my hands on the Ironworks Magitek bow, and I haven't been able to replace it. I've tried multiple bows, including some relic bows. You see those scenes where characters act as if their weapon is their trusted life partner. I always thought it was strange until I found the magitek bow. I get it now.
Some great choices there - I personally use 3 of these: the Terpander lux, shiva's diamond bow, and Tsukiyomi's moonlit. List is making me want to try savages unsynced though...
If you like simple bow designs look at the Diamond Bow from o8s (Kefka Savage). This is a very sleek design and looks amazing. o8s has quite a few othe ramazing weapon skins as well.
I honestly hate like almost all of these outside the Yoichi Bow Zeta. I want something clean and well....bow like. Honestly not usually a fan of harp bows, but I've been rocking the Asphodelos Harp Bow pretty well this whole expansion. It's simple, it's sleek, it has a small effect that isn't too much, it's dyable.
I was readying my torch and pitchfork in the event the Yoichi bow did not make this list. Definitely my favorite (though I usually use the non-zeta version). -- That Ronfaure theme hit me with a nostalgia, too. Thanks. :)
i just got every job to 80, new player about 3 months in, and i reallly enjoyed bard to the fullest besides warrior and samurai so thank you for showing these weapons amd glams

1:35 - What glamour are you using along with the Shiva's Diamond Bow?
It's great to see a short how to get alongside the weapon showcase!😊

Good idea, didn't think about that possibility 😅
The crystals on the Exarchic weapons are always dyeable! Augmented Exarchic gear only existed as catch up gear back in ShB.
Exarchic weapons are always dyable indeed... the amount of missinformation I read about this game is crazy :')
My bad guys, fixed.

wow i just so happened to want to have a new bard glamour and this video comes out
ty for the recommendations!
can someone tell me whats the bows name for 0:43 please?
By the way, I love your choice of music from FF11 Ronfaure zone. (Ff11 player/streamer) much respect

I love the Mighty Thunderdart
kind of late but what body piece is that for 7:23
Shiva's Diamond Bow til I die. I also love the Augmented Deepshadow Crossbow.
What set is he wearing at 7:30 with the high collar?
The bard just has so many good options.
Abyssos bow is my favourite. Industrious looking.
whats the bow on 8:56?
Uhh a question i m deaf myself and liked to play archery but ummm all those gauge songs required to hear/listen to it and play it? Cause i always watch gauges with all those cool downs each turns. 😳
what is 0:35 bow?
What is the glamour/costume of bard on omega bow showcase? Really dope
What shoes is the Au Ra with the gordian bow wearing ?
Augmented lost allagan composite bow it's still my fav, it looks like a modern composit bow and it glows a bit azure, and has just the right size
I got my hands on the Ironworks Magitek bow, and I haven't been able to replace it. I've tried multiple bows, including some relic bows.

A bard version of Careless Whisper? Nice.👌😁
Absolutely, right? I was very happy, when I found it !
Intro got you a like in 2 seconds.
Ty ❤️

First comment wooohooooo, keep up the good work with your content, stay safe and keep playing FFXIV :3
I will, thank you for the compliment !
8:09 wearing a DRG chest with a bow :0 What skills! ;p
Terpander (Lux), the end.
Terpander is in queue as 3rd relic along Cronus and Areadbhar. because style matters !! :p
Anima Relics are among the best in general !
No ShB final stage Relic?
Naw
I'd personally also throw in the cryptlurker set bow in there, because it looks like this rough, battleworn crossover of a bow and crossbow. Love it
I had it on my honorable mentions but seem to have overwritten it by accident xD
definitely a very unique design and choice 😊
If you like simple bow designs look at the Diamond Bow from o8s (Kefka Savage). This is a very sleek design and looks amazing. o8s has quite a few othe ramazing weapon skins as well.
Hellhound Longbow since I main BRD in PvP. Not that hard to get wolf collars with the PvP changes.
I will only use Crystarium and Rinascita bows, purely because you get a sword on your quiver
I was kinda surprised to see Gordian weapon here. They are almost forgotten but this specific one definitely looks good
It really did, I was surprised by it myself 😅

Funny enough, I use the bow that you're wearing in the intro but is not on the list. The High Allagan Composite Bow.
Crazy the final stage for resistance is not on here.... CRAZY
I'm literally using the shiva bow before watching this lol
Terpander (light blue version) all the way for me
Someone say simple and clean?
make a ninja vid like this plsss
I already have one 😉👍
the shadowbringers relic might be the ugliest weapon in the game ever.
the gold ultima bow is just so ugly and all over the place. its too much going on. change my mind i dare u
dookie list
i just got every job to 80, new player about 3 months in, and i reallly enjoyed bard to the fullest besides warrior and samurai so thank you for showing these weapons amd glams
