#Arrows in an equipped quiver
If you have an empty [[quiver]] in your inventory, the bow will not shoot any arrows from any other quiver in your inventory, nor from any arrows in your inventory.
→Notes on Arrows: If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, the bow will not shoot any arrows from any other quiver was tested by a player and showed to be false.
== Targeting ==
To enter ranged combat, activate an equipped and strung [[bow]], move within range, then right-click on your target to engage. (You can also use the icon on the select bar to quickly queue up multiple shots.)
Archery works best when standing at optimal range. You will miss more if you are closer than, or farther from, the optimal range.
== Notes on Bows ==
There are three types of bows:
*[[Short Bowbow]]
*[[Bow]]
*[[Long Bowbow]]
To use a bow in combat, it must be strung with a [[bow string]]. Bow strings can snap.
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
#Hunting arrows
#Arrow shafts
Additionally:
*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 armor armour is a significant factor in damage.
*Targets wearing a shield can block shots from inflicting damage.
Possible enchantments on arrows:
*Each of the [[demise spells]]
*[[Frostbrand]] or [[Rotten Rotting touch]] or [[Venom]] to increase damage
*[[Life transfer]] to gain health
== Skillgain Tips ==
* The archery skill is limited to 45 while practicing on an archery [[target]]. You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main * You can no longer gain sub skill after parent skill archery skill is also limited to reaches 45 while practicing on an archery target. * It , this means it is possible to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow typebefore you cap the archery skill for a practice target.
* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing 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.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Archery provides the fastest means to gains in [[body control]].
