*Quality of the bow affects the damage done.
*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time). During this time, when shooting at an archery target for example, the message "The dusk makes it harder to get a clear view of the archery target." will appear upon each shot.
*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
