Distance Weapons

---

Mostly used by archers because of their quick advancement in Distance Fighting.
Crossbows and bows cannot be used by themselves and require Arrows or Bolts to cause damage. Ammunition can also be used from Quivers, which enable you to place more than 1 stack of ammunition inside them, and also provide light and other bonuses when enchanted.
Some ammunition has special effects on the target when used, some bows and crossbows have similar properties or DoT's (damage over time effects). Some of these are only triggered while using regular bolts or arrows while others will also work with hunting bolts or hunting arrows.
Unlike melee weapons or thrown distance weapons, bows and crossbows themselves do not have any attack value (unless the attribute Flawless is counted), instead it is drawn from ammunition.
Bows and crossbows offer another "stat" which is the "Hit%" increase that makes your attacks more likely to hit (the base max hit-chance is 90% for bows and crossbows).

Most stronger bows and crossbows can be enchanted or looted with Attributes, some have special or hidden Properties.
For more information and the damage formula take a look at Distance Fighting.
