Recksash Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 In old pking (pre-bounty-hunter), why were they so popular? It's not like rune arrows hit higher, is it? I'm very confused here. -recksash Politics,n.

Recksash Posted January 9, 2008 Author Share Posted January 9, 2008 1) I thought all arrows did the same damage 2)So why would anyone spend more money on better arrows unless they just want the higher return rate? -reck Politics,n.

It wouldnt make sence if bronze arrows did the same as rune now would it? And i found that the higher the arrow the faster it breaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW: good to get same table for knifes, darts & etc.. :) Suggestion: You can use Anchor on Waterfiends - is cheap if to compare to GS & effective with crush attack & it hit like Whip.Visit my exp track Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kemikalkadet Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yep, arrow type determines damage, bow type determines accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ultimatballr Posted January 9, 2008 Share Posted January 9, 2008 People used Rune Arrows + MSB in the old pking for the higher hits and for the fast speed of the MSB. If you think about it a rune cbow with d bolts can hit 3 times higher than a MSB and it can hit 20 hp higher (at least) than a MSB maxed spec. Granted its all with the special effect of the bolt hitting but still. Now why would someone want to use a MSB + rune over a Rune Cbow and d bolts. For the speed of course. MSB shoots arrows at about a 2.5:1 ratio faster than a rune cbow. Thats why it was popular. --- Pretty interesting how different people find different items better, opinions may vary. :anxious: Apparently, my signature was to big.
