+ | : Interestingly enough, the converse isn't true- target practice at the archery range has had no effect on my hunter's ambushing skill. Article update? [[User:LucienSadi|LucienSadi]] 05:45, 11 December 2008 (EST) | ||
::Well, it's to be expected - ambushing is sneaking, marksdwarf is shooting...hunting does both, practice at the range only the latter --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 23:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC) | ::Well, it's to be expected - ambushing is sneaking, marksdwarf is shooting...hunting does both, practice at the range only the latter --[[User:Koltom|Koltom]] 23:40, 21 June 2009 (UTC) | ||
:::"Hunting" with a crossbow doesn't train any weapon - ''hitting and killing things'' with that weapon does. Don't confuse "hunting" with "using a weapon" - the latter is needed at some point, but they are two different processes. Hunting (ambusher) gets the dwarf close without spooking the animal - the weapon is then used for the kill. (Why would anyone practice sneaking close to a target on an achery range?)--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:34, 22 June 2009 (UTC) | :::"Hunting" with a crossbow doesn't train any weapon - ''hitting and killing things'' with that weapon does.

Got another training question. For some reason my marksdwarves hardly ever seem to want to practice, even though I've got a number of archery ranges, they do have crossbows (and do kick butt in fights with goblins), are all off-duty and have plenty of bone and wood bolts. Occasionally I get some message about there not being enough floor space or something, which I don't understand what to do about, one of the ranges is out in the free air with PLENTY of room. Every now and then a single dwarfs shoots a few bolts, so I know that the ranges are at least partially functional, but I obviously do something wrong. Any ideas anyone? /Alk [[Special:Contributions/85.229.218.226|85.229.218.226]] 17:24, 16 April 2010 (UTC) | Got another training question.

:If they're complaining about floor space, the ranges are probably pointed in the wrong direction. Also, make sure '''every''' archery target is defined as its own shooting range. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 17:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC) | :If they're complaining about floor space, the ranges are probably pointed in the wrong direction.

They do have a quality rating. It's hard to tell for the other question, but it should. Ammo is treated like weapons in most other respects. --[[User:Navian|Navian]] 00:55, 22 November 2008 (EST) | They do have a quality rating. It's hard to tell for the other question, but it should.

+ | :To me, it's grades of ammo- no-quality is pretty much wooden chopsticks, masterwork is fluted and grooved with slight serrations at the tip for maximum pain... --[[User:LucienSadi|LucienSadi]] 19:55, 11 December 2008 (EST) | ||
I just had to shout somewhere that I can't wait for re-stacking to be implemented, or the quiver fixed as a container, so I never again have to worry about a dwarf charging into combat with a single reclaimed bolt rattling alone in his quiver. --[[User:Jellyfishgreen|Jellyfishgreen]] 11:37, 13 February 2009 (EST) | I just had to shout somewhere that I can't wait for re-stacking to be implemented, or the quiver fixed as a container, so I never again have to worry about a dwarf charging into combat with a single reclaimed bolt rattling alone in his quiver. --[[User:Jellyfishgreen|Jellyfishgreen]] 11:37, 13 February 2009 (EST) |
