When you're trying to find the source of wiki text, you should go into the history and figure out what version the text was added on - https://wiki.project1999.com/index.p...ev&oldid=14856

The other items in that edit indicate that it's from this patch in 2011 -

Damage bonuses have been revamped since that patch FWIW.

Thanks -

That is a while back however the only time Rogean mentions Damage Bonus is here - with little detail on September 8th, 2019.

Rogean: [Kunark/Sep2000/Oct2001] Applied Era Rules to Weapon Damage Bonus Calculations.

And here - stating it is primary only on 07-23-2012, 02:23 PM

Only the primary weapon gets a damage bonus.

Is it possible the 2019 change broke/altered this is a way not noted? Rogean's codepad link does not indicate that 2000/2001 should add bows to Bonus.

The only other seemingly relevant post by Rogean is this - August 13th, 2011

Kanras: Archery weapon_dmg is once again correctly being calculated.

This is approx. 20 days after "Removed archery damage bonuses."

Did this revert/alter damage bonus possibly?


My take is ..

there has been no post indicating that archery should have gained damage bonus or moved to some era other than the era specified in the code snippet.

there are posts showing it removed from archery, and what should have damage bonus and when.

that means this was either unintentionally reverted or stealth added intentionally. Thoughts?
