Mortal Online 2: Ultimate Guide to Archery

Mastering archery requires practice, as it involves consistently landing accurate shots. Compared to melee and magic builds, the overall damage can, at times, fall short. Most archers carry a melee weapon, like a sword, to compensate for lower DPS and protect themselves against melee fighters.

In Mortal Online 2, Alvarin (Foot Archers) and Oghmir (Mounted Archers) are two of the most popular races for archery. Each specializes in a different school of archery, and both are equally powerful. However, they do carry a melee weapon in case an enemy manages to close the distance. Let’s take a look at both builds and see how you can get the most out of them.

Mortal Online 2 – Different types of bows

• There are three types of bows in Mortal Online 2, each with unique characteristics.

• Short Bows – These bows have the quickest draw time, shortest range, and do not require any stamina to use. Also, lowest damage among all bows.

• Longbows – Medium range and damage; takes a while to draw and requires a significant amount of stamina.

• Asymmetrical Bows – Greatest draw time and range and has very high stamina requirements compared to Longbows.

• The quality of materials used in crafting bows significantly affects their overall range, draw time, and damage output.

• Decurve bows tend to be more durable, while Recurve bows generally deal more damage.

Mortal Online 2 – How to craft bows & arrows?

• Select the composite option in the material setup section to make bows out of two different materials. You’ll need to choose the bow’s primary and secondary components here.

• Press L to bring up your skill menu, then click on tab “profession skills” from the drop-down menu. You’ll have to level Bowcrafting (Bowyery) separately since it isn’t a part of the weapon crafting skill set.

• Since Bowyery is a parent skill, you must learn it from a book. After you’ve learned the basics (All you have to do is click on the skill book), you can start making bows on the crafting tables.

• When it comes to making bows, your skills aren’t the only factor to consider. The materials you use have an impact on the final product’s quality.

• Unfortunately, as of Patch 1.0.0.13, you cannot craft your own arrows and must purchase them from utility vendors.

• There are different types of arrows in Mortal Online 2, such as Broadhead, Bodkin, and Longbow arrows.

• Broadhead arrows are best for Asymmetrical bows, while Longbow arrows are for Longbows.

• Every bow has maximum values for range, weight, and durability.

• The strength requirement is the most important factor for a bow. If a bow requires 110 strength to wield, attempting to use it with less than 110 strength will quickly deplete your stamina.

• So if you are crafting a bow for sale or for trade, only start after you have learned the buyer’s/trader’s strength stat.

• Short bows usually require less than 90 strength, whereas longbows require more than 110 strength.

• You can adjust the slider to your strength by indicating how much of which material you want to use with the slider. Bows can be made from a variety of materials.

Parting thoughts

Archery is leagues different from melee and magic combat roles in Mortal Online 2. The skill grows with you since you can land more headshots as you get better at aiming. It even gave birth to a unique combat strategy known as Kiting, in which a player maintains a safe distance from a mob or another player.

Players typically remain outside melee range but within ranged attack distance. This is a good strategy for classes that deal the majority of their damage from afar and aren’t strong in close-quarters combat. Mages and archers are likely to rely on this technique the most.

All of this might be difficult to take in, so we recommend you take a look at our beginner’s guide and skill attributes guide to get a better understanding. Until next time. Happy hunting!
