Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 Wurm time). When firing a bow at nightat an archery target for example, the message, "The dusk makes it harder to get a clear view of the archery target." will appear each time you shoot.
== Notes on Bows ==
*[[Long Bow]]
To use a bow in combat, it must be strung with a [[bow string]]. Bow strings can snap.
*The higher the QL of the bow string, the better chance you have to hit your target.
*The higher the QL of the bow string, the less chance that it snaps.
*The chance of a bow string snapping is thought to be 1 in (QL of bow string * 10)
Additionally:
== Enchanting ==
*[[Circle of Cunning]] can be put on a bow to increase archery and bow skill.
*[[Nimbleness]] will reduce the difficulty of the shot by (Spell QL / 10).
*[[Blessings of the dark]] are a substitute for CoC and WoA, but you should use CoC + Nimbleness instead.
*Each of the [[demise spells]]
*[[Frostbrand]] or [[Rotten Touch]] or [[Venom]] to increase damage
== Skillgain Tips ==
* You may gain up to 30 skill in a bow type by practicing on an [[archery target]]. The main archery skill is also limited to 40 while practicing on an archery target. When 40 main archery skill is hitachieved, you will no longer be able to gain any skill from archery targets. It is possible to to gain 30 skill in one bow type, then begin a new bow type until your main archery skill reaches 40. The curve does not apply here, you are still able to get 40 archery on Epic with an [[archery target]].* Although they give less skill than real arrows, it is best to use arrow shafts when practicing in this way on archery targets, as they are far easier to make and won't cause excessive damage to the target too much. Arrows that arent aren't broken can be picked up at the archery target.
* Firing on the target from outside your bow's optimal range will increase the difficulty, and thus increase your skillgain at higher skill levels.
* Practicing at night will similarly increase the difficultlydifficulty, so if you find the skillgain slowing , you may want to practice when it's dark instead.* Beyond 40 skill , the only way to gain further is by using archery on animals or in player vs. player combat. Unlike fighting skill, you gain random archery skill for every shot and optimum archery skill for every successful damage dealt. Fighting skill is also gained after a successful kill.* Using other players as targets to train is effective at any level. There is a 3 hour cooldown, which begins after the event message , "You will not gain skill for attacking #### for a few hours".
* WLers shooting same kingdom will become hunted.
* Skillgain is affected by [[Sleep bonus]].
