Skilling archery - roughly how many arrows needed?

[Kzuri]

Roughly how many arrows will I need to get from 25 to 50 skill? and 50-75 also?

[peertje]

25-50 I have heard around 3000 arrows. not confirmed tho, but it might give a pointer in the right direction and a post bump for you :p

[Nidhoggr]

50-75 is roughly 25k.

[KerplunkedX]

50-75 is roughly 25k.
lol, what?

I've went from 1-94 with just 30k.

[Xez]

when ? i think that archery gains changed with some patch ..

from 55 to 65 around 6k

from 65 to 75 around 7 k

from 75 to 85 around 8 k

actual numbers.

"gee there is not enough grind for archers is there. They are not suppose to be having fun shooting arrows they are suppose to be gathering ore instead."

You got the point of playing Darkfall :D

^ this, and its slowly spreading to every skill in the game.

accurate.

[yuppy]

40-50 = about 3.5k.

[pongo]

50-75 is roughly 25k.

-10k

[Silent Death]

going from 50-75 at around 63 now and its looking at around 500 arrows per 1.0.

So at least 12.5k but more likely around 15k

[kanzyman]

Assuming these arrows hit their target? or is it like magic grind?

I don't think they have to hit the target.

Can anyone confirm this? I just started the grind.

[Storm_Lord]

I just did this recently. 5000 arrows from 0-47. Then 48-75 took another 18000. So 23k all together.

vs wall or thin air?

Hello:

I just finished my massively expensive grind of archery... these are rough numbers of what I found.

Archery:
75-80 = 75 arrows per .1
80-90 = 100 arrows per .1
90-99 = 125 arrows per .1

Masteries go at about the same rate with the exception of the one that makes you shoot faster which takes an additional 10k to get to 100 (for the last 6 points once you GM sharpshooter)

All in all, I started about 3 weeks ago at around 40 archery and did my grind. It took around 75k arrows to get 3x GM and about 85k arrows to get 4xGM

I hope this helps...

Pro Tip 1: If you want to get your best bang for the buck stop once you hit your base archery skill to 99, at this point you will have sharpshooter at around 65-70 and you will be doing around 85% of the damage you would do if you grind all your skill to 100.

Pro Tip 2: Dex helps alot dmg wise, every 3 points in dex translate into 1 point of damage output. if you grind to 100 all your skill you will also get more dex which translates into more dmg. I am an alfar and I have 43 BASE UNBUFFED dex.

[Goonn]

thx myguess great info...

There is something very wrong with this post.

It's reflects proper testing procedure.

[godlikepmp]

I wonder if the tests that myguess has posted translate to being the same as magic skills.

from 55 to 65 around 6k

from 65 to 75 around 7 k

Did they say this recently? I know it's harder to lvl archery now then it was when server first came up. Possible to link the quote as well for a cookie? :3

[Abremalist]

How was it you can train up dexterity except shooting arrows?

[Darkwish]

You can sprint but the gain is very slow

[Viluin]

At 70-75 skill it took me around 70 arrows to gain 0.1.

[salaam]

You don't gain if you look up and shoot in the air since the arrow doesn't hit any world object physically. It has actually dissapeared when it's coming down but you do still see the object.

[ChubtoadSUN]

I lol´d

Then please clarify why you get the skill up message etc. when arrows is leaving bow and has nothing to do with where it ends?

[salaam]

You're mistaken. It doesn't, unless they changed that. I shot 500 arrows at 25 skill up in the air long time ago and skill didin't go up at all.

[Abremalist]

Yeah, why not change that, when 80% of the guys focusing on archery allready spammed up their archery skill to a 100. Leaving the rest of us miserable sods with having to actually hit to get an skill increase.

[Willmy]

Hehe, used a starter-weapon maybe?

[Larocco]

so if i got it right 1-100 sharpshooter takes as long as 1-100 archery?

Same thing happened to me salaam i was on top of a building and shot directly into the sky toward the sun. I used a war bow and after 500 arrows no skill up either.

[godlikepmp]

Shooting the wall and ground worked perfectly fine though and i raised my skill ez that way.
