Arrow damage

Gozno

How much difference does a stone vs. copper vs. bronze arrow do in terms of final damage.

I never really noticed a difference when trying them all. I'm going to assume it matters more for cutting through higher AC. If someone else knows for sure I'm all ears.

dankell77 Because of the variance of attacks, and the inability to utilize a parser its too difficult to determine the effect if +0, to +5 arrow damage effects things and the real world effect of it with calculations put in.

Our abilities utilize weapon ratio damage, meaning that arrows likely add to that. But again, I cannot prove that.

Until the devs open up more on how some of their formula's work, and if some statements are true. Its really hard to answer anything right now.

Sorry I cant be more helpful on this.

Having played both Archer and Ranger, Pretty much what Westmort says. That being said I definitely noticed a difference between wood and copper/iron. I ended up not using that much stone just because of how I leveled/my camps. I ended up mostly just using stone for the skillups before switching over to copper entirely. Between the prevalence of scrap and salvage arrows, I really didn't use too much stone in my crafting career. That being said, I do believe it is a non-negligible amount of damage gained., which just might not be noticed as much due to the inherit variance and the ability to read the chat window in a busy combat.

Got my Ranger to the mid 30s and I can say with absolute certainty that arrow damage makes a massive difference. To the point where I believe slower bows are a DPS loss.
