Archery, with pics

[armsofargus]

So it seems like archery is much more doable now, I am posting a couple pics of me with 1MM and a q4 bow.

When I aimed at the rabbit the bar ended up filling to a bit over middle, and the shot went wide to the right but it seems like it's much more accessible than before.

EDIT: I forgot to say that the bar did fill to a little over half, but it got then in less than 30 seconds.

EDIT EDIT: more details.

Missed shots can be picked back up, you can move while aiming but it drops your accuracy quickly. Animals moving does NOT lower the accuracy bar, however if they move to another direction than you are facing, pressing fire will turn you toward the animal again and reset the aiming bar.

Thanks! That facing/movement thing, that was really needed to make archery not useless.

you could always move....

I was saying it more so that people know it's still in.

Okay I've finally crafted my bow and noticed one thing. for one, I think they didn't like the boat hunting, because half the time when you try to fire from a boat it just resets you (like you were facing the wrong way, even if you weren't). Second... that accuracy. The bar moves up way faster, but don't let that fool you. I've yet to hit anything firing twenty times or so all over seventy-five percent, some as high as it will go without stopping.

Did you try to kill a fox then? How did it go?

Please keep posting with your finds, id really like to know if Archery is worth it. Back in Legacy you had to get to 20 Marksmanship just to get the accuracy bar past 50%..

You can build archery targets now too, been messing around with them and even with only 2mm I can hit the target, but it's not consistent enough yet to be useful for hunting.

Accuracy bar shoots up past 50% in seconds. It gets slow around 70%. But it doesn't mean anything. I think now marksman and distance caps your percent hit chance and the bar is the percent of THAT hit chance that you have. Like I said, I tried on a couple of different animals firing between a half dozen and a dozen shots with no love, all over 3/4 bar.
