Brain Far - Do magical arrows and bows stack their enhancement bonuses?

[Wonko the Sane]

The way it works now, you'd be an idiot to even bother enchanting arrows, since you can either do 50 arrows or 1 bow for the same xp/gp cost. After the arrows are shot, they're done - the bow just keeps going forever.

Which makes the Arcane Archer somewhat silly in some regards.

I have to disagree here. The issue of price escalation makes enchanting arrows worthwhile... a +1 flaming, freezing, shocking... etc bow and then some +5 arrows are a nice combo still. But then again, GMW is the standard for making the +5 arrows. But it is still cheaper to make a bow with one or two elemental types and arrows with different elemental types and use them together than to make a bow with all the elemental damages.
