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.


There are two bow types that players can choose from: ''swiftbows'' and ''crossbows''. Crossbows are perfect for long range attacks given their higher projectile speed alongside being accurate '''while''' standing still. This is offset by its slower firing speed and no base recovery chance compared to swiftbows.
=Ranged Weapons=
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 poor accuracy.
Bows use arrows to fire, so you must manage this resource to use a bow. Arrows are replenished by using [[#Quivers|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.


Bows use arrows to fire, so you need to manage your resources to use a bow. Arrows can be replenished from dungeon shops, chests, or through the use of quivers. Arrows also have a recovery chance depending on which bow you're using and armor you're wearing (See Ranged Armor below).

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 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.

Arrow Modifiers[edit]

Rangers have select amount of items that they can use to apply unique effects to their arrows. The amount of arrows that are affected can be increased through the usage of Ranger-class armor.
