increase speed of accuracy ranged

[joojoo1975]

well basically, that lil graphic of geting better accuracy when i use me bow is taking forever. what way do you increase the targeting accuracy speed?

Use a sling instead. They're much easier to get a higher quality (which increases damage and aim speed, I think) and already start off with a quicker aim speed. The downside is the damage won't be as much, but the speed offsets that.

Raising your marksmanship also helps, of course.

From what I've seen/heard/experienced it seems to be that the woodbow is vastly outmoded by the sling until it gets to a point where you could probably just make a ranger's bow, so the woodbow seems to be the red-headed stepchild of the ranged weapons.

increase mark lvl duh

Supposedly marksmanship is your hard cap, and quality level is your soft cap. So with low marks and a high quality sling, it won't be any better than having a low quality sling due to marks being so low. On the other hand if your marks is high and your sling quality is low, you're still going to have some issues, but you can upgrade your sling when possible to make the most of the marksmanship.

I'd suggest getting marksmanship to 20 until you can get a q15-20 sling, and then raise marks bit by bit as you can make better slings.
