Bow Mastery?

It doesn't change the color of your arrows. Let me explain. When you fire an arrow when you have mastery a red flash comes out, however the arrow is still gold (if you fired SA) and etc. However, I thought you needed max mastery for the flash to come out...

alright, I got to lvl19 mastery (2nd job skills)
and now it looks like a maple leaf

and I never said the arrow color changed
I said the trail/ shot changed

You may notice that even when you max mastery in your second job, that your minimum damage isn't exactly 60% of your max, but that's normal.

Its all in the formulas

Max: [(DEX * 3.4 + STR) / 100] * Weapon Attack
Min: [(DEX * 0.9 * 3.4 * Skill Mastery) + STR] / 100 * Weapon Attack

Bolded stuff explains it all.

I've noticed mastery does change the color of some effects. Once mastery is at level 16 or higher, whenever you shoot a red effect appears in front of the bow. When an arrow is flying, there's a little trail behind it, that trail becomes closer to red as the skill is raised. That's how I can tell if someone raised thier mastery right.

Well i never knew about the color differences either.
