''"Stand over there and let me shoot this apple off your head. No. I promise. I’ll shoot the apple."''
 
 
From a distant grove of trees, a lone archer raises his crossbow, takes slow, careful aim, and with the twitch of a finger, impales danger with a deadly bolt. A skill requiring a steady aim and dexterous fingers, those who live “close to the land” often favor Archery.
 
 
This skill also counts towards a character's ability to perform [[Special Moves]].
 
 
[[Gargoyle]] characters cannot learn nor use weapons requiring [[Archery]].
 
 
==Training==
 
From 0 - 30 skill you should buy from the Warrior Guildmaster. After that you need to hold a bow in hand and hit opponents. For more details on training Archery or other melee skills visit the [[Melee Training Guide]].
 
 
==Weapons==
 
There are two main types of [[weapons]] available to practitioners of [[Archery]], bows and crossbows. The former require a good supply of [[Arrow]]s on hand, while the more technical crossbows fire smaller [[Bolt]]s at enemies. All of these can be crafted by [[Bowcraft/Fletching|Bowyers]].
 
 
Bows are typically slightly faster to fire then crossbows and also usually offer a larger attacking radius. On the other hand, crossbows often pack more punch per bolt and so might be the better choice for a lengthy battle.
 
 
The [[Elven Composite Longbow]] is the only Archery class weapon that can be used with [[Poisoning]] (via [[Serpent Arrow]]).
 
 
While not technically a weapon, it's worth mentioning that any archer worth his or her salt will be carrying a [[Quiver]] with them.
 
 
All Archery weapons are [[Two-Handed Weapon]]s, unless they have the [[Balanced]] property. For this reason, when crafting with [[Runic Tools]], you might consider the [[Lightweight Shortbow]].
