Archery

Archery
Archery is range attack, opposite of Melee, which is hand to hand. To use archery, you need a bow, quivers and some arrows. The amount of attack you do depends on your skill in Range, and what your Agility is. You can carry 31 arrows per quiver, each arrow weighs 2lbs.

Using Archery
To use archery, make sure you have a quiver with arrows inside of it and a, preferably, good mouse (i.e not sticky or too slow). Have your bow and quiver equipped, have at least ONE&#160;square tile between you and your target, then double click the tile it is standing on. Arrows aren't auto-firing, so every time you want to fire an arrow, you must double click the tile on which your target is standing. Remember to pick up the arrows after firing them, otherwise you'll find yourself running out really fast. When the target dies, move their body off the square they died on to make collecting the arrows easier. If there isn't a tile between you and your target, shoot on the tile behind it.

Training Archery
Because archery is a manually applied skill (aka, you must double click) training it to start with, isn't easy. Check here for the list of monster and their fight rating.

Start off killing rabbits, chickens and sewer rats until you can kill them in one hit, then move up to deers and goblins until they're also easier to kill.(although kobolds are weak, they can surround you easily. If you're playing an archer, getting surrounded stops you're ability to use arrows effectively).

After you've trained on them, move up again to NPC&#160;bandits. Standing just outside their camp square so they can't retaliate (they never move out of their camp square). Train on them until you start hitting internal organs on a regular basis.

Haxy tip from Artisani: Try training on Inquisitors and guards. You can stand with them at the edge of your screen, and even when you shoot them, they won't come after you. Another tip, make sure no one is around when you do it.
