Why do Ivory Arrows suck so much?

[Mythos]

I just got some along with an ivory bow from killing some Ivory Archers, and while the bow is good the arrows are pathetic. 16 damage? You can get tempered steel arrows that do twice as much damage and only cost 2000-3000 denars.

They forgot to change them from .57 archery system to .58

so the ivory bow is still the best bow in the mod and still lootable?
perhaps i didn't try enough times to get that.

I haven't had a chance to play the new patch much yet, but I would imagine the ivory bow is still the best.

Ivory arrows are still supposed to be the best arrows, the only reason they aren't was a simple oversight. (I think)

 

[Mythos]

The Ivory Bow is still great. Decent damage (16, I think) but ridiculous accuracy for a bow (99). The problem is the terrible arrows. Either there's some special ability I'm missing, or whoever's in charge of setting the items' stats accidentally put the wrong thing. They were definitely the best arrows in the game before.

Once again, the reason for the Ivory arrows crappy damage is that it was not updated from .57 to .58

It was a mistake. Get over it and use tempered steel or masterwork bodkins until it's fixed.

 

[Mythos]

Ummm... sorry? Why the hostility?

 

[Hersen]

Because the question was answered in the second post.

as well as 4 and 6, but it appears that reading all the replies on even a short a thread as this is too much effort for some people.
