I've notice my weapons needs much much more repair done than my armor. I'm currently using Maple Longbow atm and everytime I do 2-3 hours grinding, I'll end up needing to repair it (because of the notification)
Maybe I'm doing something wrong here? Because my armor can last at least 3-4x grinding @ 2-3 hours where my bow only last 3 hours... does any of this happens with anyone else?

Are you sure the issue is with your bow?
I'm not sure if the damage you take to your equipment is directly proportional to the amount of damage you take, the number of times you get hit, or both. But I also do find myself repairing my bow more than my other equipment.
It could be because we take less overall damage and/or get hit less often than other melee classes. Firstly, we do have the chance to get at least 2-3 shots off before the mob even gets into melee range to hit you. On top of that, I also use shock spikes which stuns the mob on a fairly consistent basis. Therefore, I'm pretty sure I get hit less often than, say, a Gladiator. Whether I take less overall damage, though, I'm not sure.

Oh yeah. When I'm grinding i have to repair my bow 2-3x more often than the rest of my gear. Right now i just carry some maples branches along and do the repairs myself on the fly, but i doubt that is going to be effective long-term as my Archer rank will certainly outpace my WW skill.
