Archery
Archery is a skill which involves an arrow and a bow.
To shoot you need to activate your bow (No need to put in hands) and right click on your target. The Arrows shot first are the ones in your quiver on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, next is ones in your hand, and last is the ones in your inventory.
If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. shafts.
- Best bows are made from willow.
- Arrows made from cedar are easier to improve.
- Arrows made from maple take less damage.
- Short bows are best shot from 5 tiles.
- Bows are best shot from 10 tiles.
- Long bows are best shot from 20 tiles.
- Quality of the bow string affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
- Quality of the arrow affects hit chance and the chance that it breaks.
- Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).
- Wearing a shield can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
