If you have a target selected (player or animal, not [[archery target]]), you can also use the 'ranged' icon if you have the bow equipped.
The arrows shot first are the ones in your [[quiver ]] on your body, next are the ones in your quiver in your inventory, and last are the ones in your inventory. If you have an empty quiver in your inventory, no arrows in your inventory or in other quivers in your inventory will be shot.
If a quiver is found in the inventory but it is empty, no arrow will be shot. This gives you good control over which arrows are shot. Arrows are fired in the following order: 1. War arrows, 2. Hunting arrows, 3. shafts.
*Archery has a lower hit chance during the night (from 21:00 to 06:00 wurm time).
*Wearing a [[shield ]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
