Archer armor?

[Miley]

You don't lose any accuracy unless you go over 10 weight (used to be 5).
Gloves count x4 their weight towards WPF.
Helmets count x2 their weight towards WPF.
Basically what Shik said...

For example, wearing gear that's 10 weight total or under will give you the same accuracy with a BOW as wearing no armor at all.

Didn't it used to be helmet was x3, gloves x2. Now its helmet x 2 and gloves x4. That correct or did shik get it the wrong way around?

I believe so--something like that.

Leather jacket ftw.

I still want heraldric tunics

weight lowers WPF

wpf = reloadspeed/accuracy/dmg etc

as shik said over 10 weight u loose all of it.

Anyways, a little friendly reminder to all you archers out there. Weight affects your speed. Keep it in mind if you wanna get away from those big bad meleebuilds 

24/15 NA Ninja build is too fast.

Are these weight penalties applied to all servers yet ?

[Leshma]

Not anymore.

I had Blue Kettle Helmet, Blue tunic over Mail, Mail Gloves and Mail Chausses and still had decent accuracy.

[Banok]

but does armour weight reduce all wpf's equally including xbow?

Dunno if it's equally, but all wpf's are reduced by armour weight.

[Kelugarn]

Dunno if it's equally, but all wpf's are reduced by armour weight.

IIRC they're all reduced by the same amount, but the reductions for melee matter (minimal increase in swing speed, wpf damage penalty/bonus) less than reductions for ranged (all of the above + accuracy, draw time, reload time)

[Eugen]

Bump.

Anyone knows if this weight/wpf reduction change is only for archery wpf or general?

As I remember old system was:

(helmet weight x3 + gauntlet weight x2 + body armour weight + leg armour weight) - 7 points free armourweight
= Total Armour Penalty

So each point of ArmourPenalty over 7 reduce your WPF for 1%.

see http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,23607.0.html

Now it seems the new formula is:

(helmet weight x2 + gauntlet weight x4 + body armour + leg armour) -10

Now again please tell if this is a general change or only for Archery WPF???

I really would like to know, becouse I try do adapt my outfit efficently for high WPF use.

It would be nice to have such game-mechanic change announced in a more public way: Changelog pls!

Thanks
