Ancient Alacrity Best Enchantment

Weight of Eons for More Consistent Slows

Weight of Eons Slows the hit enemy by 25% for 8 seconds

This Enchantment is the better choice as you only need to hit the an enemy once to deal a 25% slow. You can shoot multiple enemies, even farther ones, to slow them down.

The alternative, Time's Cruel Embrace, takes a full kill to trigger the slow effect. While this slows nearby enemies as well, it only slows them for 15% and for less time.

Ancient Alacrity Overview

Avowed -  Ancient Alacrity Ancient Alacrity Information
Weapon Type: Bow
Class: Unique
Weight: 5
Description
Made from livingwood and embedded with chunks of adra, this bow feels alive in your hands. It was created milennia ago by unknown Godless artisans and lost to time when they disappeared in more recent history, this weapon was found in the depths of Godless ruins by an Aedyran explorer named Atus. As the youngest son of the noble Cato line, Atus' prospects at home were dim and so he came to the Living Lands to seek his purpose. In his hands, this bow was a deadly implement indeed, but when or where it was that he disappeared in a mystery. Regardless, it is thanks to his intrepid explorer that Ancient Alacrity no longer wastes away in the depths as it did for so many centuries.
