Bow and Arrow damage

[user2015830]

So, what exactly improve my damage when using bow and arrow?
Bow q?
Arrow q?
My MM?
My Perc?

Please share info, what kind of set up should I have if I want to get 200 damage per arrow, or one-shot a boar?

As far as I noticed, bow quality and arrow quality are the only things that factor into damage, especially arrow quality.

Q20 bone arrows should get into 200 damage range pretty easily.

Bow and Arrow quality both raises the damage.

In one of the recent updates, your damage is now scaled by your aim, which means MM and Perc both raise damage since they help increase the speed in which your aim goes up. It makes hunting much easier.

From my experience, Boars have a lot of health, you'll need to really get a good quality bow and arrow (and sufficient MM and Perc) to one hit them. You're better off one-hitting deers, chasing about boars after you hit them once (or trapping them,) or hunting bears (trapping/following.)

There are many ways to trap off boars. You can
-lead them into shallow water with a thin opening, and once the boar starts running away, block off the entrance with your boat
-have other characters also take aim and shoot at the same time you do, thus doubling your damage, which is enough to kill a boar
-luring a boar with a clover, blocking him off with fences, signs, or stockpiles

The hermitarium has a bunch of info and guides you can check out viewtopic.php?f=42&t=40622&hilit=hermita%2A

Is it the avg Q or some specific parameter, have you noticed?

Hey, I have 25mm, 23 perceptio, a quality 19 bow and ql 19-22 arrows I'm maxing out at 220 damage.

I 1 shot anything up to a deer. Aurochs an mouflon not included I don't hunt those. I 4 shot a bear and 2 shot boars but I shoot once and punch them to death instead.

afaik perc does nothing anymore towards archery.

I've heard it influences accuracy at longer ranges. No testing or dev quotes to confirm that though.

I remember that jorb has confirmed that Per increases accuracy quite a while ago
