Some detail on archery damage.
*Wearing a [[shield]] can significantly increase the rate at which you block arrows.
*The effectiveness of arrows against [[animals]] has been disputed. It is of general consensus that it's more deadly in [[PvP]].
*Bows work best when fired at their best range. If you try to fire closer than their minimum range you will not shoot.

== Skill based options ==
At various points in your bow skill progression you get the following special shooting options:
:* When you have 30 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Shoot Quickly''' option. <br>:* When you have 35 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Torso''' option. <br>:* When you have 40 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at right arm''' and '''Aim at left arm''' options. <br>:* When you have 50 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Head''' option. <br>:* When you have 60 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Face''' option. <br>:* When you have 70 skill in a specific bow, you'll get the '''Aim at Legs''' option. <br> == Damage ==There are a number of factors which dictate roughly how much damage you'll deliver when shooting a target.*Height bonus, shooting down at your target will increase damage, shooting up will reduce it.*Arrow quality, higher quality arrows do more damage*Criticals, they can happen*Armour, reduces the amount of damage taken when the shot is successful*Enchants, bloodthirst on the bow and FA/RT/FB on the arrows boost damage*Creature status (champion/greenish/raging) has no impact on the damage dealt, if it takes 22 war arrows to kill a scorpion then it would take the same 22 war arrows to kill a champion scorpion.For players armour is a choice but for animals its a set static value and generally the tougher animals have stronger hides. Using [[bulk storage bin|BSB'd]] arrows for a consistent quality you can easily see the relative defensive strengths of creatures. Unsurprisingly trolls, crocodiles and scorpions are difficult to kill with arrows while mountain lions, rats and wild cats are very very easy. From this we can see that an un-armoured player has roughly the same natural armour as a wild cat. The damage delivered has changed over time during combat rebalancing so it makes sense to occasionally revisit how many arrows it takes to kill a particular target type.
