Hi,

My character is a level 12 crusader who is currently armed with a great big maul. Thing is, I'd love to be able to use a bow as well, but dont have the skills..I even have a looted bow in my bank waiting for the day it is usable. Can anyone tell me how I could learn this skill? I have been all over the place 'hailing' every npc io see with a bow but to no avail.

Cheers
minky

Maybe Crusaders can't use bows. Try Throwing Axes or throwing hammers maybe. For Axes, Hammer and ninja Stars you need to put a sheath/holder in the ranged slot and the ammo itself in the ammo slot. Just set them both in the right slots and check your knowledge macros to see if you have a ranged attack macro. It should look like a Bullseye Icon.

I didnt have to do anything to be able to use a bow. I just bought a bow and some arrows and then started shooting stuff. The ability was already in my Knowledge Menu

but im a Rogue17...maybe you just cant use ranged weapons.

Hmm...whenever i look at throwing axe/star holders on vendors it says i dont have the skills. Must be a crusader thing, though I would have thought as a fighter class, the crusader would be able to use some form of missile weapon. I even have that nice bullseye ranged attack icon in my in my Knowledge Menu just sitting there...teasing me....calling me....arrrrgh!!!

Somebody please put me out of my misery and tell me how i can hit stuff that is standing more than 2 metres away!!

Crusaders cannot use bows or thrown weapons. They were given a DD at lvl 13 or 12.. something in there for pulling since they lack long range weapons. However the range on the DD is far far far to short to be of actual use in pulling.

Anyone getting good damage with ranged weapons? I've only tested bow but I have a buff quest bow and when I pull I'm only getting like 7 damage hits heh. I was hoping for more but its no big deal. Its a great pulling tool anyway :)

I think I'm going to move to throwing axes cause thats just so sexy heh.
