First two guys summoners russian were controlling server (both banned for illegal software later).
Then server was controled by Pride I think, one russian CP of people 52+ with adamantite stuff. Everyone was getting pked in CT. Also back then u could use scrolls in farming location, so u just kill everyone. Clean karma, clean counter.
Then server population dropped to such a low amount of numbers that everyone thought it will 100% fail. (they couldnt solve 9 ppl party bug and innova started)
During that time Reaver with one archer cp 58+ locked DV and people had to pay adena if wanted to farm there. Aka vigillance. Later whole server was vs Reaver boyz, we managed sometimes to push them out.
After that they added more locations and it wasnt so bad for casuals.
Dagger is best for pve, except if u have really huge level othel, then you can go other wep.
What touches bow, not a fan of it, but todays society doing mucho raidaski, so you need it. But if people will pick you withouth bow, dont buy
