    [​IMG] Has anyone run across the stats for the phantom ammo fired by certain weapons? Everard's Sling; Tansheron's Bow; (any others?) These weapons will use whatever ammo you have in the ammo slots, or fire their own 'phantoms'. I'd like to know whether it's better to use the phantom ammo (no buying/stocking inventory) or to use +2 bullets or +2 arrows. (Still have to stock special purpose arrows, fire, acid, etc.)

    Thanks for any enlightenment. :)

    Appreciate the input, Elvareth. I just tried out Mazzy with the Tansheron against the Red Dragon and I agree--it did seem a little slow. But it did do decent damage with +2 arrows. I saw consistent damage of 12 to 14 during the battle. I haven't tried it with the phantom arrows to judge the difference, if any.

    On the other hand, Mazzy used the Tuigan(?), the 3 shots per rd bow, against the Shadow Dragon. With the +2 arrows, I seem to recall about the 12 to 14 damage messages. Plus, it's a lot faster, even if it is only a +1 bow. She was a veritable machine gun in action!! Go figure...

    :D
