Moar Market Research.

I've tested my q44 bow made with leftover materials and my quiver of bear bone arrows, they deal ~46 base damage per shot (39 at full peaceful).

It might not mean much for high or mid-level characters, but it means newer characters could hunt low to mid level animals quite easily if they had the markmanship for it. On a darker note, it could also be used to take down new and even half-decent characters in a few shots. Especially with the massive to-hit bonus archery has. Loftar knows what could happen if they hunted in groups.

Do you think there's a market for this?

Seems pretty nice, It's been ages since I've used a bow. Is unarmed faster?

[Blaze]

Unarmed is faster, arrow shot is about as fast as a sword attack, but does not have initiative attacks and marksmanship does not help in dodging attacks.

Having a soldier's sword at 30 str will do about the same damage (If the sword's quality is high enough), but sting doesn't have the to-hit bonus marksmanship has. In the old world, you could hit lvl 4-6 bears at 30 marksmanship (Which, accompanied with no pathfinding, was why bear LP was so heavily nerfed).

I have a Q78 bow that does the same amount of damage with ~Q20-30 arrows...I wonder what it would do with them arrows 0.0
