Reposting this thread from the crafting nook forum since is more of a guide than a discussion on crafting itself.


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 ) 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.

PS: edited since copying and pasting links with ... doesn't work out.

    Some unofficial proof for those that don't think it works, although it is always best to attempt to verify things on your own if possible.

    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 because self-verification never works out too well.

    non-archers can only equip bows (need to be EA to equip x-bows / slings) so the -% casting time bullets and +acc bolts cannot be equipped.

    on MY servers, when non-EA classes equipped the +crit arrows, there was NO addition to crit rate shown in character screen (at least on the version i was playing at the time) the rumour was that in LATER version the additional crit did show.

    i dont know if this has since been proved true or not.

    the bottom line is it cant hurt to equip one, just dont pay through the nose to buy a +crit arrow (you can make your own)

    Yes, this little trick should work. I'm not sure if it is a bannable offense though. It wasn't for the last version I played, but GMs are a bit more strict here. Just watch yourself and don't go mouthing off about it too much. On a sidenote, I don't believe it shows up when you check out another character's stuff, but it will show up under your character stats sheet.
