 Weapon modifiers that can occasionally appear can vary from low to high values, with those that list a 15% boost as their maximum generally being the most sought after.  You cannot change, apply, remove, or upgrade a weapon automod in any way.  It is a basic part of the weapon, and cannot be altered.  This does, of course, mean that the base item's automod is far more important than ANY other consideration of what to add as your bow string or grip.

 The modifers of +15%^50 and +15%e are worth more because they are useful in far more situations. The +15% damage always (with -5 energy) is at the top of the list for price, as there is never any qualifier for using it - the enhanced damage is always in effect.  This listing is here for informational purposes only, in order to assist players in determining what types of bow automods to look for when buying or trading for a bow to use (see final section: Bow Buying/Trading).
@@ Line 245: / Line 245: @@
 Notice that adding customization to a bow changes the damage output possibilities!  The weapon's enhanced damage is applied before any other considerations, and the damage is given an absolute integer value, then additional effects take place on the weapon damage in order to get the final damage applied to the target (to include the target's defense, your weapon skill attribute, any damage added by your skill or enchantments on your character, and any hexes/spirits on the target or anygeneral effects in the area).

-It has probably come to the attention of many visitors here at The Amazon Basin forums that there are many possible bow string choices for their favorite ranger weapons.  There are MANY different combinations of bows, bow grips, and bow strings.  We will concentrate on the bow strings alone for now, and assume that one is using bows of similar stats with each setup.  Yes ... each setup, since I reccommend that all rangers use multiple weapon setups for best advantage!  I have added additional information concerning base bow types as well as the various automods that are available in the game for the base bows. I will be updating this soon with information concerning the various bow grips available in the game as well.

 ''With a bow of 15 - 28 damage, with 12 attribute points into marksmanship, and a level 20 ranger, and with a given target who has 60 armor level and is the same level as the attacker (lvl 20), we will do 15 - 28 damage.''
-The bow's marksmanship requirement is totally meaningless unless you do not meet the requirement.  If you do not meet the requirement for your bow, it will deal half the stated damage (7 - 14 as opposed to 15 - 28, with a max damage bow).
