    I thought status effect bolts/arrows have crap for damage? I know the stun bolt is 1 damage. Continuously firing low damage sleep arrows might not be worth it I'm thinking?

      ... until you take into account the stats on the bow you're firing them from.

      Centurio X-I 1/1 - Celphie 1/1 - Deadly Dodo 0/2 - Doppleganger Dio 0/1 - Jaggedy-eared Jack 0/7 - Joo Duzu the Whirlwind 1/1 - Leaping Lizzy 2/16 - Mimas 0/1 - Odqan 1/9 - Orcish Wallbreacher 0/1 - Ose 1/3 - Sagittarius X-XIII 1/1 - Serpopard Ishtar 3/6 - Silk Caterpillar 1/2 - Tom Tit Tat 0/2 - Trickster Kinetix 0/2 - Valkurm Emperor 6/10 - Wyvernpoacher Drachlox 1/1

        Even with an up to date bow (+1 longbow type) the damage is still abysmal. It's something to the tune of 40 points less damage per shot vs horn arrows.

        Sleep arrow effects are roughly 8-10 seconds per arrow. At the usual going rate for these, you might be better off paying someone to heal you if you want to solo. :/ The only really good use I can see for these is sleeping links or maybe sleeping something to beat feet if you're not a thief. I'm not even sure how effective that will be at later levels.

          That doesn't sound right... while Sleep is D1 ammo, Horn is only D17. 40 points difference?

            I know it's not quite the same, but... Let's say you have two swords, one is D3, the other is D6.

            The D6 will do more than 3 extra points of damage than the D3.

              Heh, thats about what it comes out for me. Actually I guess it's more like 34-35. I generally deal about 2 points more damage per shot, per point of weapon damage increase on IT mobs.

              Any additional attack % you get from anything widens this gap substancially.
