Weapons and Damage

Magister · 03-13-2007, 09:04 PM

Okies, got yet another intresting tidbit here I have been wondering about, but haven't been able to clarify until I got a wider range of weapons to test from.

It is now painfully obvious that there seems to be an issue here...

Allow me to elaborate:

I have a Long bow that I bought from the shop for like 3k, it's specs are:

(Damage -2)
Long bow
19-27
Range 25
Speed: Slow

Now, I also have another bow I found which is:

(Damage +8)
Hunt Long Bow
10-15
Range 15
Speed: Slow
Hit Chance +6

--------------

Now comparing the 2, one would assume that the top bow would do more damage, however this is not the case, the 2nd bow does CONSIDERABLY more damage (upto 10-20 more on normal hits!) however, they both seem to hit at roughly the same intervals (ie: how often I miss or hit) despite the 2nd one being what you would think, obviously better in that area with the +6 to hit.

I have also come across other bows with 3-5 pierce / 3-5 fire dmg that seem to do far more than a straight damage bow with higher numbers.

Seems to me something is a little with weapons here...

Finally, as a side note, I was wondering if there is a list of monster drops anyone has worked on, or perhaps if a high level archer (tyr .. hint hint hehe) might be able to disclose a few good monsters to kill for bows and armor between 10-20

Cheers,

Magister.
