Do arrows now affect our ranges?

So, I remember when arrows used to affect our range, (which was changed some odd months/years ago).

But now, my range [i]shows[/i] that it's been increased (using bronze arrows), but I'm not entirely sure if my damage is actually being increased,(since 1watk is so insignificant).

Just curious if its been changed or if I'm just being hopeful.

There's no such thing. White Gold Arrows usually come from the event shops, and those are only 6 Attack.

[quote=6ppl3m6g3]They should just make arrows infinite and as potential-able secondary weapons. WH and MM use the crossbow variant, BM and WA use the bow variant. Sounds like a good idea to me. The best arrow is like what? 6 ATK? Not game-breaking in the slightest.[/quote]

The idea of limited arrow is absolutely redundant with the current skill set for all archers. I've only really played DragonNest as another mmorpg so I can't say for sure but I would think most games just use an arrow case to represent the upgrades of arrows.[/quote]

as a person who plays a lot of mmos over time i can tell you that usable arrows are REALLY rare nowadays, usually you get a quiver and thats supposed to give you the illusion of "having" arrows but usually you get infinite ammo on every class that uses projectiles.

[quote=Elufu]@Kiryuin: It would work alright on Marksmen.. but not so much for BMs when they fire an arrow once every 90ms(and more because of turret).

Honestly though... why they didn't make use of secondary equips is beyond me and completely remove arrows from the game. For example Mercedes' magic arrow: [i]Magic arrows blessed by the spirits. Equip them with the Dual Bowguns to gain infinite ammo.[/i] If you unequip it.. you can't attack.

They should make the actual secondary weapon for bowmen be the arrow instead of the gloves or w/e they have as secondary.

Sometimes i think that was ilogical, if your main weapon is a cross/bow, then the secondary weapon (aka, the ammo) would be the cross/bow arrows, not some pair of gloves.

@Elufu: In case you didn't notice, explorer archers aren't magic. I only assumed the MP we used was like energy

Booooooooooooo! So what if by some miracle they decide to give us 40w.atk arrows, will the arrows cover the Soul Arrow?

Thanks for the answers guys. <3

Arrows have always affected your range. It's just that Soul Arrow will cancel out the Attack of your arrows, and the Attack bonus is negligible considering Concentrate's merger with Soul Arrow for a 30 Attack boost post-RED. Not to mention you can use skills now without needing arrows because of Archery Mastery in 1st job.

Yes, but they must be equipped and soul arrow must be off (which defeats the purpose since it now gives 30 ATK) .-.
