kibora Report post Posted May 14, 2008 (edited) I wonder what is the damage for different bows. It doesn't seem to be level/attribute dependent. I have 2 of them and here's what i get Long bow: 11-16 damage Elven bow: 17-20+ damage Edit: i am talking about the damage with training arrows Edited May 16, 2008 by kibora Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thrice Report post Posted May 31, 2008 I'm just curious, does the BP Cloak affect Ranging? Has anyone tested this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alberich Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Has anyone noticed a level dependent damage or did some stats change? and is it intentional that star med doesn't work with ranging? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruella Report post Posted September 4, 2008 I believe max damage dealt with particular weapon and arrow/bolt type rises very slowly with your levels. IIRC, few levels ago my max damage with xbow and training bolts was 18, now it is 21. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alberich Report post Posted September 4, 2008 Nice, so I was not imagining this. Well it sucks a bit for training but it's nice for hunting and PK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
larrystorch Report post Posted September 5, 2008 These seem more like a question for Entropy and he may not want to answer it for various reasons. What determines whether a creature takes damage? I would assume the creatures toughness and armor, but does the type of arrow and bow have influence? I assume that the magic, ice and fire arrows cause their respective special damage, but what about normal damage? I am asking because I have been hunting cockatrice in Willowvine and critical hits are the only thing that cause damage. I still get experience for hits that do no damage (toughness/armor negating damage?). I am using a recurve bow and training arrows. Has anyone tried PK or magical arrows or other bows/crossbows enough against tougher creatures to see anything different from me? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schmurk Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Last time I've tried PK arrows on cockatrices, I was dealing a lot of damage at each successful hit... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alberich Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Cockatrices are though and have a big ass armor so only critical hits get through. (I do occasionally hit them for 1-2 damage with the elven bow.) With Pk arrows and other you can always damage them. It's like with phantom warriors if you got a weapon with high damage like halberd you get trough the armor else you have to rely on critical hits.

larrystorch Report post Posted September 5, 2008 Thanks for the input I don't mind not doing damage each shot with training arrows. I get to learn proper distances to shoot and not get attacked and maximum effective range guestimating. The only drawback is when you run out of arrows and the damn chicken has only 5 health left Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cruella Report post Posted September 5, 2008 when you run out of arrows and the damn chicken has only 5 health left hehe typical , but then .... draw a sword Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DHT Report post Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) It's also level dependent I think. At low ranged levels I couldn't hit orcs as well as I can at level 29. And of course, as mentioned before, PK arrows do way more damage than training arrows do (killed a forest chim with pk arrows in 5 hits ^^ ) As for the other items that influence ranging, we have only potions and nightvisors at this time.
