This is one thing that is really aggravating to me. More times than not, my arrows go to my feet instead of my target. Having to find just the perfect spot to shoot from is annoying, and this even happens to me in K3 where there is a plateau, and was on a completely flat spot.

Having to find just the perfect spot to shoot from is annoying, and this even happens to me in K3 where there is a plateau, and was on a completely flat spot. As is mentioned in the readme, if you try to shoot too rapidly, most of your arrows end up going into the dirt. This is because using a bow and arrow is actually very difficult (try it sometime), and isn't really compatible with running around a lot (again, try it sometime). Every time you click to move or tap the 'force attack' key, the character will attempt to shoot. If you do this before she has reloaded, she will miss and the arrow will go into the dirt. The solution is not to move around a lot, but just stand still and let the character shoot.

I find that firing an arrow, switching to melee and having your character move or attack, and then switching back to ranged will reload your bow instantly.

That is what I do, switch from ranged to spells and back to ranged so my bow is loaded instantly. Maybe that is the problem? I don't know I read the readme when I first downloaded the game, but I'm old and can't remember the whole dang readme LOL.

You are trying to force her to shoot really fast, so she's ending up putting most of her arrows in the dirt. Just let her shoot - only use the 'force attack' or 'ranged select' buttons after she has placed the arrow against the bow. For example, if you are shooting at an enemy, after you release your first arrow, she will reach behind her to draw another. Once she has it, she'll lower it down to the bow. When you see that she has lowered the arrow down to the bow, you can hit the '2' button (ranged attack selection) or 'force attack' button ('A' by default), and she will immediately fire at the closest enemy. Note that the readme also contains a suggested 'hotkey' arrangement that you may find makes the game much easier to play. Hope this helps.

At least one bow is there for less reloading time(Arma Igneus). What I wanted to know which will give more experience in range Arma Igneus or other Bows.And what should be better for pure range character in MP.Also I want to know that Can arma voltas be the gtreatest weapon of archer.I knows that rocks are the greatest source of experience in range but I am interested in greatest range weapon.

What I wanted to know which will give more experience in range Arma Igneus or other Bows. All bows, rocks, and other ranged weapons use the same experience calculations. That depends on how you want the character to fight. The way the game is set up, "best" and "greatest" are relative values that vary based on your character and how you play them. Like the spear and the gun, the chakram cannot be dodged. However, like the spear, shields can stop it. The gun cannot be stopped by shields.

Too bad for archers.They can't kill a melee fighter who wears the armor of ancients(Lorica) and carrying a enchanted shield of 10 def.

Yes,I have the shield of 10 def but the bad thing is overall def will not increase beyond 20.You can have enchanted chain gloves and boots plus superier knights helm and armor with shield but all equals 20 even if you are using rune of protection and soul gem.

Yes, but shields are the only things that provide cover bonuses.
