Accumulator

[Sir_Squal0]

At what distance does an accumulator work? and does it work if it is blocked, not by a wall, but by another monster? say - in pest control for example?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

[VjuliusT]

At a distance - Yes

 

 

 

Over monsters - Yes

 

 

 

Over fences/rocks - No

[Chazimcgee]

It works at quite a distance but sometimes it doesnt pick up the odd arrow or bolt. No it doesnt work if firing over fences/rocks. Monsters do not affect it.

[Sir_Squal0]

thanks!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also can it pick up through cages? e.g. caged ogres

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or the Caged lesser at wizard tower?

[hephaestos8]

no iy cant

[Bashful]

if you cant walk through it, your accumulator cant pick through it.

It Picks up Bolts and Odds.

 

It picked up Kebbit Bolts for me

It only works if nothing is in the way. And at large monsters as long as the place where the arrows will land isn't blocked by anything, very well explained in this guide.

[Sir_Squal0]

would it pick up iron bolts?

 

 

 

 

 

Because atm im tempted to get a book of balance or unholy book, then use a rune crossbow for the high range bonuses. Crossbows also seem to hit higher? even if less frequent.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Does anyone know if a crossbow can fire as far as a bow?

 

 

 

 

 

And what are the damages compared to arrows?

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

The accumulator picks up almost all types of fired ammunition - arrows, bolts, knives, darts.

 

Crossbows have nearly the same range as shortbows, I believe. Maybe actually a little longer.

 

They also deal much greater damage. I hit 10s with MSB + adamant arrows, but 14-16s with rune crossbow, unholy book, and mithril bolts. 65 ranged by the way.

[Sir_Squal0]

You say it picks up nearly all kinds, would it pick up mith, addy and rune bolts? even if they were tipped or enchanted?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just wondering because from what i read from the guide gave me the impression that they would only pick up to steel arrows up.

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks.

It picks up everything even if they are enchanted etc.

[Sir_Squal0]

I'd just like to say thank you to all that have helped me.
