I don't want to put this in the bug report section because I don't have logs and I don't know if its just my imagination, but...

I've been playing on Uthgard a long time now so I have a feel for what miss rates should be like. In the last few weeks I've noticed a big jump in the number of misses with arrows. I'm not talking about blocks or evades, just normal missed shots.

I'm curious if the staff have changed any formulas recently that could effect bow miss chance. Maybe it's a string of bad luck but it seems like 1/5 shots miss my target, and that's not even counting arrows that are blocked or evaded.

Have any other archers noticed high miss rates with bow?

PvE or PvP?
It's done when it's done. Thanks for your patience.

well back awhile ago, there was a high chance to miss, and i reported on a missing bonus on arrows and after a fix the miss rate seemed currect for a while, then came the cry's about volley hitting to much and too OP and so on, and after awhile of that, miss rate seemed more noticable for all arrow shots. But nothing in the change log. So if something had been done, dont expet it to be publicly announced, and if it had dont expect an answer to this. Youl have to do some tests to prove it , and even if you do get proof, all you can do is cross fingers.

Best you can do is at lvl 50, buff up, grp tons of arrows and repeat shots at a test dummy. You should be able to do it with rapid fire also, because it shouldnt increase miss rate at all. Also since the test dummys cant evade/parry/block, so that will not get in the way of the miss chance.

Maybe ill look into it and get something from live too, but that is a big maybe.

PvP.

One thing I've noticed is that the Accuracy for Blunt Footed Flight Broadhead Arrows (the best blunt arrows) is listed as "Improved"

However, the Accuracy for Keen and Barbed Footed Flight Broadhead arrows is listed as "Enhanced"

Perhaps the Accuracy bonus for Blunt Footed Flight Broadheads is incorrect? I mostly use Blunt arrows so this could explain the higher miss rate.

The ones are crafted, the others are bought from merchant.
In this thread, the conclusion was that there should be no difference between bought and crafted arrows.

Yeah but I craft all my arrows. So the arrows I'm crafting are actually merchant arrows? Weird.
