Note  59  Mathias      (01/15/09 18:13)  The Efficacy of Bows

Hello Ardans,
 
It is my unfortunate duty to report to you that an error has been
discovered in bows, one which has required a correction.
 
Since the introduction of bows many years ago, they have not
been using the proper values.  Correcting this may result in
some bows performing *far* better than your experience with them
has been, whereas some bows may perform less well.
 
At the time of this posting, there are still many bows in the
game that will not have this fix applied to them.  Bows
quested after around two hours from the time of this post
should all utilize the corrected code.  A comparison of bows
(with or without arrows) will *properly* illuminate the differences
between different bows.
 
We apologize for the length of time that has passed between
the creation of this issue and its correction, but we believe
that its correction will add significant depth to your experience
as archers.
 
Thank you for your patience,
Mathias
