archery damage ?

[rugerx]

Does anyone know the damage caps by level for archery, and how the damage is actually calculated?


Thanks!

not sure on caps per level but at lvl 50 on my ranger with 200 skill, a raincaller, and 200 str I average about 50 damage a hit and have seen crits up to 112
hope that helps some

I thought DEX adds to bow damage, not strength?

Pretty sure it's whichever is higher.

I know this was posted a while ago, and there are many sources that say dex decides archery damage, but my own experiments suggest that Shiftin is correct.

I used to carry some dex equipment which I would switch to when I was bow kiting, at the expense of str. I decided to run an experiment to see if that was worth doing. I bow kited several mobs in DL, keeping track of number of hits, crits, average damage, and some other stuff, both with my str equipment and then with my dex equipment. Raising dex didn't seem to do anything. My regular dex and my max dex were below my str in both cases. So I concluded that it was my str that was deciding my archery damage and got rid of my dex equipment.

But maybe I'm missing something. Has anyone actually tried to determine this other than just reading some stuff? I'd like to know what actually contributes to archery damage. I suspect that the official guides say that dex helps archery damage because they had to say *something* about dex, and that it may be true if your dex is higher than your strength.

Pretty sure bow damage is just ran by dex.

Shiftin could also be correct as i cant say he isnt.

Bow dmg is Dex.

please correct me but on P99 haste of chanters gives faster delay on bows right now but not quivers. was this the case in classic respectively on eq-live at all? thought casted haste doesnt affect bow but quiver does

I was wrong.

I've done over 200 damage, with 1 shot of an arrow using Class 2 Ceramic tipped arrow with a Runed oak bow on my lvl 50 warrior. It was a critical and i was low on hp.
