What is your suggestion?:
Boost damage for Bow of Faerdhinen in raids the same as Inq. Mace, and Blade of Saeldor.
Is this in OSRS?:
No, but neither is boost for Mace or Blade.
Has this suggestion been accepted already?:
No.
How would this benefit Alora?:
On OSRS the Bow of Faerdhinen fits as an in-between for the blowpipe and the twisted bow. It does this by having high accuracy and a mid-high max hit that makes it effective at: Bandos, Sara, Inferno, Jad, Vorkath, KQ, and Dk's. Also in CoX primarily at Mystics, & Vespula but also being decent at Vasa and Olm.
The issue on Alora is that with the boosted accuracy, the blowpipe is more effective than it is on osrs (even after the nerf), and the Twisted bow is arguably more available to players than on osrs leaving little room in the meta for the Bow of Faerdhinen other than Fashionscape.
This change is logically consistent with the raids boost for the Inquisitor's Mace and the Blade of Saeldor - as it allows both of these high tier weapons to remain very viable in the meta even if they aren't BIS. As the mace & blade have not surpassed the viability/popularity of the rapier nonetheless the scythe I doubt the Bow of Faerdhinen would disrupt the range meta if it had the same boost. Also makes The Gauntlet more popular and allows different options for Iron, and Realism game modes to progress through the meta ladder rather than rushing T-bow & rushing Scythe.
TL;DR: T-bowless Iron noob cries after spending 17 days to get a bow that ends up being dead content.
