When used, <the create item ability> will summon 50 arrows into your sack. The damage type of the arrows summoned is random, but all arrows will be normal footed flight broadhead status, and won't stack with normal arrows. When you log out of the game, these arrows will dissapear from your sack and are flagged as no-trade/no-sell.    Nov 19

The level 10 ability on the braggarts bow is listed as "Offensive Proc". When /use2 is performed, the item casts a 45 second duration proc on the user. For the 45 second duration, the proc will go off an average of 1 in 3 shots (or melee swings), delivering an insta fire DD of approx. 100 dmg to the target player, and anywhere from 35 - 70+ damage to all surrounding enemies (npc and player)within a 1k radius. This proc is castable every 15 minutes and is on the same timer as the lvl 50 summon arrow ability. Will work with volley.    Nov 21

Strategy:

I will confirm that Braggert Bow can be done with 1 group.
We did it yesterday our setup was:
3 scouts
1 pally
1 Theurgh (6 sec PBT)
1 cleric
1 buff bot outside grp
We did it that way:
No haste, no damage adds, no magic attacks. Only cleric buffs, PBT and health chant.
The 3 scouts took out the links from the eastern hillside. 1 by 1. Took about 20 Minutes. After that we shooted on Karise till her health was down to 3 % (took another 20 minutes). Then we all charged in. Pally meleed, cleric healed and scouts shoot her from the inside cirle to get the credit.
Pretty easy.  Jan 28

Tips:

I had to do the encounter 7 times before I did it the way Mythic "wants you to do it." The story of Karise says she was turned to stone for using magic to increase her abilities as an archer (i.e. to cheat). So IMO you are not allowed to use magic to kill the control links. When we used only bow on links, we did not get argo and just took them down one at a time.
I was finally able to activate the bow after killing the control links with NO OFFENSIVE SPELLS. No damage add, no damage shield, no debuffs, no nothing other then bows on control links. We did not have to heal as they did not argo us so I have no first hand knowledge of if healing is ok. If it is done right, you should not get argo from the links/circle of archers. You will need a real tank(s) and a good healer or two for Karise.  Dec 16

Many ppl said that u need pure melee to kill her  Dec 16

We took Karise down with 2groups that day. Picture of battle.  We used a rather diverse set of classes and had no problems. This was the second time in 2 days that we'd killed her. I suggest assisting one person on first globe then declaring whether your group(s) are going to go clockwise or counter-clockwise to kill the rest of the globes.

Now the Karise encounter is completely different -- no longer able to be done by a solo ranger. All the orbs now dodge blows, as does Karise herself (and yes, I went around and tried every orb, hoping there was an order to it).
We have to get a FG+ to take it down.
- Shoulda Ducked

we did the encounter with 2 FG and a lot of healing. 
we tried one FG and only killed 3 links
its in a prime location too, so get together 2-3 FG and do Cloudsong, Braggarts Bow, Jacina's Sash all in an afternoon
- Yoggoth

Braggart's Bow- as of 11/4/03 Karise now dodges all arrow attacks.  I shot about 40 arrows at her from the east hill- she dodged them all.
