I’m not sure it’s worth a whole thread, but I just wanted to let everyone know the small test I just did.
Since we already tested that SR’s skills only scales from the pistol’s physical attack; the amount of arrows stuck on the target; the level of the crossbow and that pistols have the same minimum and maximum attack, I tried testing what was the minimum level a crossbow should have to deal the maximum damage (which maybe was already tested).
Weapons used:
- Dunkel crossbow
- +4 Manamana
Target monster:
- White spion http://www.tosbase.com/database/monsters/57908/
Procedure:
- Use retreat shot on the target until the maximum amount of arrows stuck was reached, then note the critical damage made to it
Damage dealt at:
- +0 -> 6304
- +1 -> 6444
- +2 -> 6584
- +3 -> 6724
- +4 -> 6864
- +5 -> 7004
- +6 -> 7004
- +7 -> 7004
That means a crossbow +0 will have a 10% damage penalty compared to what a +5 or above crossbow would deal and that going over +5 doesn’t affect the penalty
Notes:
- The target is an M monster. Results may or may not be different against S, L and XL ones
- The manamana which I used for testing was +4, so midway I bought a +0 royal pistol to make sure the manamana’s enhance wasn’t affecting the results. It didn’t change the outcome
If you guys have any other tests you made or maybe got different results, please let me know
