Archery skillgain thread!

0-37 skill ~2000 arrows

[Niburu]

thats okay

[Niburu]

2000 arrwos are how much work ? maybe 3-4 hours or less

[Shir1115]

hard to say really but i guess it took me around 15-18k arrows until skill 90

[Shir1115]

i might add that when i reached archery 90
--> spirited archer (faster) is still at 1,0 (bugged),
--> sharpshooter (more dmg) ist at 40 and
--> veteran archer at about 70

[Kirn]

How much damage are you doing with bow at 90skill?

[s1wg4u]

Weapon skill doesn't affect damage output, unless you have the appropriate purchased skill. This game is all about gear. Whether people realize it or not.

[PKSinister]

People who don't know what they're talking about should not post. I'd be surpised if the above poster even plays Darkfall.

What % was shot at people/mobs vs shot off into thin air?

[salaam]

I dont think it makes any difference wether you hit target or not

[Jathen]

Seems to me that you get faster skill gains from shooting into destructible buildings/mobs/players than you do from shooting into the air/npc buildings/the ground.

Not sure as I have not tested it yet.

[Shir1115]

all on mobs/players minus my misses :p

So hold on, at what level can you purchase the passive skills and how much do they cost?

I read previously that you got two at 50 (faster draw time and less stamina) and one at 75 (increased damage) but thats seems totally different to what you posted.

[KuraM]

Less stamina at 50, faster cast time and more damage at 75.

Forgot their names.

[Sabbathius]

You whiners should try magic. Greater Magic 25-50, 4,000 reagents. Then try elemental, where even basic spells cost two reagent, and you'll never complain about your wussy arrows again.

if you like the feeling of a hot metal spike shoved up your ass..play magic

if you want fun do anything but magic

[Revolutionary]

Or crafting... that is the most boring route to take. I tried making an all-crafter character. Never making that mistake again without having a second account -snooze- But thats what the best crafter will be like. Only +Wisdom skills, with GM up to 50 after he hits the soft cap.

[Calligan]

so you confirm there is a softcap actually on global skilling ?

oh shit.... =) i trained too much melee...

So there are no new attacks to purchase at 25 archery?

[BurningPhoenix]

How much more dmg does sharpshooter do?, and what does veteran do?

[TheDor]

Veteran decreases stam cost of shooting. Seems like it reduces stam cost by % skill/4.

[Makestro]

So there are no new attacks to purchase at 25 archery?

There wasn't in beta, so i doubt they added anything since.

[salaam]

0.1 skillgain for every 40-50 arrows @ 70 archery

[Sabbathius]

I heard a rumor that there's 3 active attacks for archery as well, though no knockback. Probably lots of hot air, since nobody I know actually found anything of the sort.

Better than magic at 25-50... :bang:

[TheDor]

Better than magic at 25-50... :bang:

No it isn't. It's 10 casts per 0.1 from 25 through the mid 30s.

[Goblin Scout]

so can i skill up shooting the wall or do i need to go to my spawn point, and round up my buddies, and shoot noobs?

[Bobbie]

No it isn't. It's 10 casts per 0.1 from 25 through the mid 30s.

13 at 25 and increases after.

Feels like I need around 70-80 arrows per 0.1 skillgain at 48-49 skill now.... but haven't tried it that much, shoot about 300 arrows in the air and gained 0.4-0.5
