Archery

The Archery skill allows a player to fire arrows/bolts from afar with Bows and Crossbows. Players must remain stationary for 0.5 seconds in order to shoot (regardless of their Dexterity).

PvM

• Players have a 10% chance of inflicting an Archery Weapon Special Attack against creatures
• This chance can be further increased via the Arms Lore skill, Water Aspect armor, or Mastery Chain links.

Archery Weapon Special Attack

• Only works against creatures, not other players
• Increases damage dealt by 50%
• Hinders the target (prevents all movement, casting, melee attacks) for 4-8 seconds
• Hinder effect duration scales based on weapon speed (slower archery weapons have longer effect duration) and creature difficulty
• If target is immune to being hindered or already currently hindered, the attack will deal an overpowering shot instead, increasing damage dealt by a total of 100%.
• Players receive a +25% Accuracy bonus when using Archery Weapons against a creature that is hindered at the time of the attack.
