Also this makes me sad. When I got Tartaglia everywhere said to use the Raven Bow unless I certain gacha drops so that's what I've been doing and have it at 70. Now that isn't listed among any lists after I googled it again after reading your post.

I'm sorry to have made you sad, but I've never even heard of the Raven Bow. I mean, I'm sure I've seen it -- it's a random 3-star -- but I don't know how good you expected a 3-star weapon to be. Literally the only 3-star weapon anyone uses is Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers. I use a similar weapon, Dragon's Bane, on Xiangling, but it's a 4-star and the percent boost to pyro/hydro is also inherently higher. It's still arguably outclassed by a craftable weapon, and therefore not better than one of the F2P options. (For DPS, Crescent Pike is always better, but I use her as support, so it's less clear.)

OTOH, bow options really aren't that good. I used Sharpshooter's Oath on Fischl for ages because I didn't have anything better. My only 4-star at the time was Favonius, which I was convinced wasn't good for her, so I stuck with what I had, but I also hit a point where I said I don't want to level a random 3-star weapon any more. When I finally decided to spring for the battle pass, I took the bow for her just so she'd have a decent-ish weapon, even though The Black Sword is widely considered to be amazing and some might argue the catalyst is better, too.

Anyway, now that it's Thursday, I guess I have some materials to farm. (Plus talent mats for Childe, if this is the direction I'm going.)
