Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

EA Mythic's Missy Hatch has posted another one of her weekly Dark Age of Camelot Grab Bag Q&A features on the Camelot Herald.
Q. According to a popular fan site, the Dragonbane Recurve Bow gives 5% to melee damage. Since you can't hit people in melee with your bow, I find this strange. Is this a bug which will be fixed soon, or is it the way it's supposed to be? Another option would be that the fan site is wrong?

A. In this case, our apologies to the fan site, but its information doesn't match our database. Here's what the Bearded Wonder found out for us: The Dragonbane Recurve Bow has a bonus to magic damage, not melee damage.
