On Marksmanship Softcapping with Arrows

[L0dest0ne]

So, I have a high q bow (much higher than my MM), 54 MM, and some q18 arrows. Do the quality of the arrows softcap my aiming speed? I tried reading the wiki article but I don't quite understand.

Effective marksmanship skill is determined by the lowest value of your:

1) Weapon, factored by its IEMM (Intrinsic Effective Marksmanship Modifier)

2) Ammunition, factored by its IEMM

3) Marksmanship skill.

Given that the bow and arrows have IEMM 2.0, if you have marksmanship 35, a q70 bow (i.e. effective marksmanship 140) and q 45 arrows (i.e. EM 90), you will aim with an effective skill of 35.

If you have marksmanship 35, arrows Q 7 (i.e. EM 14) and a bow of Q 34 (i.e. EM 68), you will have an effective marksmanship skill of 14.

The higher your marksmanship, the easier it is to aim. To put it in words, the equipment often supports you into higher ranges of Marksmanship than it has quality.

Ah, thank you, I was wondering why I was aiming so slowly.
