*Crafted Ammunition Bonuses*

Ok, to start this thread off:

When crafting any ammunition, its possible to randomly get a special version of the ammo with a side effect.
-+1% critical, +10% accuracy, casting time -5%
Effects can be found here:
http://www.perfectworld.com.my/gameinfo-weapon_arrowsnbull.asp

This may be useless to archers who use up arrows quickly, but it is a great PERMANENT add-on for NONarchers, especially meleers who benefit both from the effect and the extra physical attack.
This is done by:
1. Equiping a bow of the right level as required by the ammo.
2. Equipping the ammo
3. Removing the bow (*note that arrows stays in ammunition spot*)
4. Equip whatever weapon you are using.
->these effects do not stack so all you need is 1 of them and may distribute the rest to your guildmates, sell, shoot them, or w/e
Note that this only takes up the otherwise useless ammo slot of nonarchers so getting one of these arrows is recommended when spare time/money is available.

I know this is old news to other pw players but I rarely see anyone using these arrows in pwi and these arrows are hard to sell, so I'm guessing that there are still a lot of people (my whole guild for example b:shocked) who don't know how to use these arrows.

Hope this helps any newbies as I couldn't find a guide on this in the forums.

    Arrows don't show up in player info, so if you check to see if someone else is using them, you won't be able to see them. Bows are the only weapons equippable by non-archers, soyou won't be able to get +10% accuracy or -5% cast, only +1% crit.

    It's still debatable whether this actually works or not, since the phys attack from the arrow doesn't count, it's possible the crit percent doesn't either. Someone want to test this?

    Not sure what to make of this.

    How does this differ from "bugging a boss" or cheating any other way? Equipping a weapon you don't use, then equipping the ammo, and unequipping the bow, for a permanent added effect from one shot of ammo, when you don't actually use a weapon that uses ammo.
    Lots of people want to send someone to hell for bugging a boss, what is any different about this tactic?

    This one's invisible. Harhar.

    It probably also doesn't even work.

    Bows are NOT archers only.
    Just go to your starting town if you cant find a bow to weild, the level one bow you get from the blacksmith there (one that requires 5 dex 5 str) is all-class.


    Sigh...

    I'm too lazy to photoshop so... after more googling....

    I hope some other pw players (hopefully a fellow player from other versions might post since this is NOT news in communities like pw-my) can do the verifying for me cause self-verification never works out too well.

    And I never thought of this as bug abuse, if you note the quote:
    "Is it illlegal ?
    You tell me if to equip an arrow is criminal"
    This is pretty much the mentality of people in other pw communities.

    Keep in mind that the most of the community in pwi does not know about this because they're new to perfect world entirely.
    Try posting in the pw-my version forum if you want a better and/or faster response/verification.
