Bowyer Mastery Bugged!!

[DrNobby]

Just got Bowyer Mastery like 30 mins ago and able to make rank 40 bows.
Made 5 rank 40 bows and 5 shortbows and not a single point in skill increase, maybe it is supposed to be like 20 bows per 0.1 skill but seems bugged to me.
Also the rank 40 bows has like worse stats than rank 30 bows. So if anyone else got something to share about their skill increase in Master Bowyer plz post here.

Make a few more than 10 bows before yelling about it being bugged?

[DrNobby]

Actually I made 10 bows but you can't be serious if you think I have to make 10 rank 40 bows for each 0.1 skill. getting to 25 skill would cost like 300k well I guess it's hardcore.

I guess it's more like "we rushed it out of the door, so we set skill gain to ridicolous values until we can give it some love".

Archery is too powerfull as it it, Lets have the server full of rank 80 bows!!! gg...

Why would you possibly try to skill up on r40 items? You skill up on the NO-COST items, just like every other skill in-game.

[DrNobby]

I didn't try to skill up on the rank 40 bows. I made them for myself and wanted to see the stats, but after I'd created them and got no skill gain I tried to craft shortbows but didn't gain any skill when crafting them either.

Try a shield. I block almost full damage from bow shots. When they pull out there bow I just block the shots. Youll have to time it so you dont waste your stamina. But it is very effective as it should be.

Weird, I relogged now and it seems that I have actually gained 0.1 skill so guess it isn't bugged but just will take forever to skill up but that's ok then I got something to do for the next year :)

The success rate seems to be bugged, 92% on r0 bows and 92% on r40 bows but r30 have like 77%. Also the damage variation on bows seems strange to me in comparsion to pre patch bows. I made several r0, which are around 0.602~, pre patch I usually got a range from 0.59-0.64. (I'll run further tests, so the last point is just a guess)

i'm working on confirming this...

But I believe mastery skills don't level up off anything below 75 skill... meaning crafting rank 0 items will not skill up.

I've made several banded and scale sets with no increase to my skill, the only increase I noticed was after making shields that unlocked at 100, and plate unlocked at 75.

Well, I've made some tests at bowyery 100, and mastery just bought.

R40ers in fact rise mastery for 0.1 for 8-10 bows i made. Done about 2k arrows after that, no skill gain whatsoever.

As for damage range: 5 of 10 R40ers were below looted 0.72, the best 0.735. Didn't test R30ers yet, but one of R20 bows i made had amazing 0.7+ dmg.

Looks like I'm supposed to start selling R20ers at R40 prices :)

To keep better track of skill gains send a tell to yourself and link your skill it often gives 5+ decimal places giving you a much more accurate picture of what's happening.

That's what I've been doing, and I'll continue to do so and post any findings

Actually I was doing exactly that, BUT - unless they fixed that in the last patch - the skill doesn't raise with every item made, even at 5th decimal place. At 83 bowyery it was like:

81,10156 (shortbow) 81,10156 (shortbow) 81,10156 (shortbow) 81,10156 (shortbow) 81,20167.

So there is no way to tell how much you will skill from a single item.
