archery damage ?

[Jenni D]

with the scummiest arrows i hit basic dmg of 56 atm with 200 archery and raincaller. With the top arrows its around 78 dmg basic hit. Shardwing arrow was a bit higher.Not sure what top crit has been so far off the top of my head id guess around the 200's

My 16 Ranger hits for 23ish with fletching arrows, and crits for 50 regularly.

All haste effects bows just like melee. Quiver haste stacks with all other types of haste, for bows.. Meaning you can have worn + casted + bard/overhaste + quiver haste.


Btw that crit chance it says it adds, has been parsed to about .0025% crit per dex. So dont get your hopes up.


This is, at least, how it worked and works in live EQ. I cant say if that's how it works on P99.

However, quiver haste isn't implemented on this server yet from what I've been told.

Strength affects damage output
Dexterity affects attack rating

Basically you'll hit more and closer to max with more DEX, but with more STR you have a higher damage cap.

177 str - 396 double dmg crit.
212 str - 426 double dmg crit.
255 str - 460 double dmg crit.

*Those values are close to accurate, I think.*

PS I shouldn't really say DEX directly affects your ATK. The number won't change, but you are more likely to hit for full damage with more DEX, as though you had a much higher ATK.

I actually wanted to broach something like this again after doing some tests with rogue throwing over the weekend. I swapped out gear a bunch and a 30-40 pt swing in strength had zero effect on my max damage with summoned throwing daggers. It stayed at 23 the whole time. Dex most certainly seemed to affect accuracy, but I couldn't test them discreetly as most of my dex gear also has some str on it.

I thought throwing had the same mechanics as archery. Am I wrong or should i be working on a bug report?
