Each level of blademaster band increases the damage and speed of slashes by 5%, resulting in slightly more than a 10% increase in damage per second for each band level.  This is an incredible return for the price and should almost certainly be a blademaster's first artefact purchase.  Keep in mind that this affects limb damage- you will have to adjust your limb counting after attaching a band to your blade.
 
While constitution increases your total health thus boosting the amount of your sip, the abilities of many classes scale off of maximum health, reducing its effectiveness.  A sip ring not only provides a large bonus to the amount of health regained from an elixir but it does so without raising your maximum health and thus increasing the damage you receive.
 
A bow is not the right choice for everyone.  Those who prefer hunting over group combat should skip this, for example.  However blademasters who are interested in Achaea's constant raids should consider purchasing a bow because the class lacks even a single ranged ability.  While blademasters are deadly once a melee has begun, they are often left twiddling their thumbs on the sidelines for significant portions of a raid while the arrows are flying.  A bow allows you to be useful during this phase of group combat.
