Hi everyone,


I was wondering how (and if) it works, if you add Use Best Weapon Skill to a bow..
For example.. You have 150 Swords and 120 Archery, will a bow with this property use your Swords skill to determine hit chance and dmg?


According to OSI, it should not work, but because Evolution is slightly different in many things from the OSI, im not sure about this... Also, i can't find any information about this on the internet, because it is kind of Evolution thing..

It should be same as -XX Mage Weapon property (which will reduce your magery skill by XX, but will use magery to determine hit chance and dmg). According to OSI, Mage Weapon shouldn't work on ranged weapons as well, but i already saw on Evolution, that it works with Soul Glave (throwing) and even some bows (Archery) ... So maybe, UBWS works as wel...


Can anyone please confirm (staff or player with experience with this), that if i add Use Best Weapon Skill property to a bow, that it will be working and it will use my best weapon skill correctly?

Ice Cross Power bow has this property for example.. But because i can't drop my Archery to 0, i have no idea how to try if it is working or not =)

Thank you and have a nice day! =)

hi, i added a ubws deed to my bow...my intension was to use my sword skill instead of the lower archery skill at the bow...notice: only hit chance is affected by skill, not the damage afaik...i hope it works, maybe staff can tell somewhat about this problem.

Thanks a lot for the answer Leighton.
I actually figured out few minutes ago, that it works =)
You are rightt that the main combat skill affects only a hit chance.. but with people stacking around 70 DCI, every skill point counts =) This is also a way, how to use throwing weapons as a human and that opens a weapon with new special attack combinations and such =)

Problem solved then, for anyone who was wondering about the same thing, i can confirm that Use Best Weapon Skill works for ranged weapons. =)
