== Notes on Arrows ==There are three types of arrows:*[[Hunting arrow]]*[[War arrow]]*[[Arrow shaft]] can be used as an arrow, without any arrow head affixed When shooting a bow, the order of arrow selection is:#Arrows in an equipped [[quiver]].#Arrows in your [[backpack]].#Arrows in a quiver in your inventory.#Arrows in your inventory not in a quiver.*a container with other items in it will stop the selection order and may stop you from shooting, for example an equiped quiver with other items in it(not arrows) will stop the search and wont let you shoot arrows in your equipped backpack or on a quiver on inventory. you will instead get the message "You have no arrows left to shoot!". In addition to the order of precedence above, the type of arrow also determines the order of arrow selection:#War arrows#Hunting arrows#Arrow shafts Additionally:*Arrows made with [[cedar]] are easier to improve.*Arrows made with [[cedar]] reduce the difficulty of the shot by 5%*Arrows made with [[maple]] take 20% less damage.*Arrows made with [[maple]] reduce the difficulty of the shot by 3% *Rare arrows decrease the difficulty of the shot by 5%, supreme arrows by 10%, and fantastic arrows by 15%. *Rare arrows increase the damage of the shot by 30%, supreme arrows by 60%, and fantastic arrows by 90% == Additional Damage Modifiers ==*Every point in [[body strength]] increases archery damage by 1%.*The biggest damage modifier is the ql of the arrows used.*Shooting a bow from a position above your target increases damage, while shooting a bow from a position below your target decreases damage. For each level of dirt you are above or below your target, the modifier is 1%, up to a maximum of 20%.*A target that is under water will take half damage unless the target is taller than 4 meters.*The target’s armour is a significant factor in damage. *Targets wearing a shield can block shots from inflicting damage.*The type of bow influences the damage == Enchanting ==Possible enchantments on bows:*[[Circle of cunning]] can be put on a bow to increase archery and bow skill.*[[Nimbleness]] will reduce the difficulty of the shot by (Spell QL / 30).*[[Bloodthirst]] increases damage as it increases in power.*[[Wind of ages]] will increase attack speed, but only until 55 in that bow's skill (Short bow, Medium bow, Long bow), at which point you reach the hard cap for a bow’s action timer. You should enchant the bow with Nimbleness instead of WoA.*[[Blessings of the dark]] are a substitute for CoC and WoA, but you should use CoC + Nimbleness instead.*[[Mind stealer]] to occasionally gain skills Possible enchantments on arrows:*Each of the [[demise spells]]*[[Frostbrand]] or [[Rotting touch]] or [[Venom]] to increase damage*[[Life transfer]] to gain health == Skillgain tips Tips ==* The archery skill is limited to 45 while practicing on an [[archery target]]. You may gain up to 40 30 skill in each a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. * Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way on archery targets, as they are far easier to make and won't cause excessive damage to the target. Arrows that aren't broken can be picked up at the archery target too much.

* Using a bow without [[Nimbleness]] will increase your skillgain.* Practicing at night or in darkness will similarly increase the difficultlydifficulty, so if you find the skillgain slowing , you may want to practice at night or underground. The game will advise you of the increased difficulty in events when it's dark insteadtriggered.* Beyond 40 45 skill , the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain random archery skill for every shot and optimum archery skill for every successful damage dealt. Fighting skill is also gained after a successful kill.* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message, "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".== * WLers shooting same kingdom will become hunted.* Skillgain is affected by [[:Category:Bows|BowsSleep bonus]] ==.*[[Long bow]]You can't gain archery and sub-archery skills from bred animals.*[[Bow]]Every priest can use bows.*Archery provides the fastest means to gains in [[Short bowbody control]].
