A selection of ranger equipment available in the town weapon shop

Ranged users strike a balance between the durability of melee with the ranged combat style of magic. Naturally, rangers do not have access to quite as much on-demand burst damage as mages have, but do still enjoy options for very high damage over time through the use of their arrow modifiers.

Ranged Weapons[edit]

Bows use arrows to fire, so you must manage this resource to use a bow. Arrows are replenished by using quivers, making them essential for all rangers. Arrows also have a recovery chance on hit, the likelihood of which is controlled by the relevant Arrow Recovery stat on your ranged weapon and armor.

Swiftbows[edit]

Swiftbows have the potential to rival the DPS of most weapons due to their fast firing speed and high recovery chance. They lack the high projectile speed that crossbows have and generally have low accuracy.

Most swiftbows have a special attack feature alongside their basic attack. Normal swiftbows will rapid-fire a barrage of their normal attack. Using these normal special attacks requires wearing ranger class armor.

Name	Gold Value	Hit Damage	Attack Cooldown	Arrow Recovery	Ability
Novice Bow	75	25	0.55s	+0%	None
Hunter's Swiftbow	500	30	0.55s	+10%	30 × 5 damage, 8s cooldown
Ranger's Swiftbow	4000	35	0.3s	+20%	35 × 5 damage, 7s cooldown
Elvish Swiftbow	12000	40	0.2s	+30%	40 × 5 damage, 6s cooldown
Crystal Bow	25000	65	0.4s	+30%	120 × 3 damage, costs 20% special and 150 mana
Sayonara Bow	25000	30 × 3	0.57s	+10%	40 × 3 damage homing projectiles, costs 30% special

The crystal bow has a multiplier for arrow modifiers, while the sayonara bow will be able to fire off three arrow modifiers at once for the cost of one.

Crossbows[edit]

Crossbows are perfect for long range attacks given their higher projectile speed alongside being highly accurate while standing still. This is offset by its slower firing speed and no bonus arrow recovery chance compared to swiftbows.

All crossbows have a special attack feature alongside their basic attack. Normal crossbows will instantly fire multiple lower-damage arrows in a trifurcated pattern. Using these normal special attacks requires wearing ranger class armor.

Name	Gold Value	Hit Damage	Attack Cooldown	Arrow Recovery	Ability
Hunter's Crossbow	500	120	1.15s	+0%	30 × 3 damage, 8s cooldown
Ranger's Crossbow	4000	160	1.15s	+0%	40 × 3 damage, 7s cooldown
Dwarven Crossbow	12000	200	1.15s	+0%	50 × 5 damage, 6s cooldown
Clockstorm	25000	195	1s	+0%	65 × 5 damage, costs 2% special
