bows

Post by Erugeboren »

i was wondering if any of the so called war arrows, battle arrows, rune arrows, etc had any special attributes, i played through getting most of the bows up to the bow of the order, and there doesnt seem to be a whole lot of variety besides damage differences,
you got your
fire arrows, ice, homing, but most seem to be just every day arrows, though they come in different names,

is there a difference between the battle war or rune arrows.
are there any other arrows or bows
is there anything special about the bow of speed it didnt seem faster to me.

I haven't noticed much of a difference in them either though with the bow of speed if you have to pull it out before fighting I noticed rynn can get it out and shoot with it much faster than an ordinary bow

Yes there are differences. Obviously some have more or less hit point damage than others, but also consider that some are AP (armor piercing) arrows which effectively negate armor, giving you full strike capacity. I'm pretty sure enemie's armor is effective just like Rynn's. Some bows have way bitchin' effects like Storm, Sonic (Dragonstrike),and Bow of the Order arrows even follow opponents around! Since inventory management can be a problem if you wanna carry a lot of stuff, having a 500 shot bow of desired strength.. blah blah blah y'know? The speed bow definitely shoots faster, but it's not so powerful. So think strength, capacity, AP or not, and lastly... whether you think it's a cool bow or not!
