Archer 'Arrows' question

Elite-Smoker · 12-05-2009, 02:03 PM

Well I have a Question,

We all know arrows(right?...

)

But you have different arrows for example:

Arrow 1 | 221 Gold| 22-26 damage
Arrow 2 | 190 Gold| 25-29 Damage

There are 3 differences

How much it costs, The damage, and the Symbol that you can see at the left when it says How much damage left of the damage theres a symbol.

Well why is it that Arrow costs more but does less damage,
is it because of the symbol or what?.....

I had this question since lvl 5 or something I would be really glad if someone could help me with this.

The material of arrows seems to have something to do with hit chance, so that could be the reason of the price-increase.(Although I'm just guessing, since you didn't post the materials)

The symbol you are referring to is probably damage type. There are 3 types of damage - piercing, slashing and blunt damage.

Quality of the arrows also affects the cost - the better the quality, the higher the cost. Here I'm talking about defective, enhanced, great etc. You can see this in the name of the arrows.

Another thing that has an influence is the material from which the arrows are made - bone, wood, iron etc. Again the better the material, the higher the cost. And it's also part of the name.

Quality and material is said to have an effect on hit chance but I think the difference is very little. I personally haven't done any testing but I'm sure you could find several threads about it on this forum.

Well could you tell me(or link me a website)
How Blunt,Slashing and Piercing looks like because most of my armor is +Blunt so it would be very usefull for me.

You can find the symbols on your armor-description. The first in the list is slashing, second is piercing and last is blunt.

I can post 2 examples:

This level 50 Arrow of Steel costs around 600 gold coins

Now this level 48 Arrow of Copper, with the same damage, costs around 500 gold coins

Why shoud I waste more money on a level 50 arrow, if I can buy one cheaper, with the same damage and even for level 48?

I have wondered about the copper/steel set on arrows, maybe the quality makes it more likely to hit? Or hit towards the high end of its damage? Not tested this though.

pierce

slash
