this is a pic i got earlier

 

 

 

 

as u can see im wearing a accumulator

[Lets_3ekout]

accumalators miss some arrows/bolts/knives/etc. every now and then, they don't pick up 100% accurate even if you are within melle range of a monster.

I though it was arrows only

[Vuvuzela]

Sometimes when you shoot an arrow,bolt etc.. one or two will not go back in your arrow slot and stay on the floor.

It doesnt "sometime works, sometime doesnt".

 

 

 

The accumulator will only pickup your munitions if there is absolutely no obstable between you and your target. Big monsters have a set square on them that usually is a corner, and is used to determine if there is an obstacle or not. In that case the game thinks the rocks are between you and the monster.

This is untrue. When I am killing miths they are standing right in front of me, no obstacles between me and it. Same happened with fire giants when its me standing in front of it.

 

 

 

I would say if you are safe spotting with an obstacle between you and the NPC there is 100% chance of NOT picking up the bolt/dart/arrow/knife.

 

 

 

If you are safe spotting without something between you (like you are) or standing next to the NPC the accumulator will pick up MOST of the item but NOT all.

In addition to this, the device will collect most of your own arrows as you fire them, saving you from having to pick them up.

 

Just to clarify.

 

Also, it seems to work on every projectile, even things like rune javelins.
