Nice Idea for archery

[HumanSteak]

I just had an idea to make the different bows more interesting. It would be both more realistic and appealing to get better bows if they wouldn't use the same type of arrows, for example:

Tree bow, only blunt arrows because it's a nub bow.

Short and orcish would use a short variation of current wooden and iron arrows but can't use enchanted arrows, jagged and elven (Maybe make them better than Iron and jagged and let it be exclusive to elven longbow)

Wooden longbow could use every long arrows including frost, greater holy, holy, jagged, envenomed and long iron. (Jaggeds would be the best non-enchanted arrows to use with wooden)

Elven longbow could use anything a wooden longbow can, but combined with elven arrows would be the most deadly because elves are supposed to make the finest arrows, as they make the finest bows.

This way, it would be more interesting to find elven and jagged arrows (wich are harder and pointless to even pick up because iron are better and so easy to get)

If you ever do this, make elven arrows expensive and very deadly!

hey, not a bad idea with the long/short arrows...as there ARE long and short arrows...

anyways, yeah - elven arrows should only be fireable out of an elven bow ....or maybe some new arrow type for it only (bring back some from 1.35?)


and then we can have the magic bow fire speeecial arrows only, mebe.

Make a thunder bow that can only use thunder arrows?

But I like HS idea, elven and jagged are pointless at the moment, and iron are so easy to come by,

well, a "Magic Bow" is planned...if you'd read around you'd find somethin on it

If there could be a holy type of bow... one that, with any type of arrow, did extra divi dmg... that'd be awesome

As to this bow thing; we've had a lot of nice suggestions on it, seemingly for an entire year now (dating back to Feb. of last year).

You'd better be careful of holy bows! According to MS: C philosophy, they will do zero damage to every single monster except to the type of monster these bows were designed for. :roll:

Tis true, but they do a sh*tload of damage the things their magic works on.
