Choose a complete setup
Spears and throwing weapons differ from bows and crossbows. Bows use arrows; crossbows use bolts. Select compatible ammunition after equipping one. Common arrows and bolts are free in the ammunition system; special options have their own costs and requirements.
Distance does not ignore walls
In Character, set your preferred target distance from 1 to 4 SQMs. Movement tries to maintain it while respecting available space and obstacles. Real weapon and action ranges still apply: selecting distance 4 does not extend a short-range weapon.
Read the cost of damage
Track ammunition, rune and potion spending in the Analyzer. A special option may improve damage and also increase waste. Compare hourly results during a stable hunt and consider distance, critical chance and skill bonuses in your build.
