Arrows

[Cascade]

Great Buffalo weak to: Iron Swallow Tail
Goblin weak to: Red Corral (still testing this one)
Dedore weak to: Silver
Mosshorn weak to: Iron Swallow Tail
Uraeus weak to: Red Corral

yeah my LS and i have been working on this test for a bit now and this what we've come up with so far
the diffrence is about 8-10 dmg per normal hit, its not nessasrly the stats of the arrow that makes the diffrence bit the dmg type, as just like FFXI each mob family has a diffrent weakness to dmg types

but when lvling just use the warp arrows its really not going to hurt you that bad right now

With the cost of arrows being too high for the average archer to always afford I suggest the following.

NM/RAID Events: Use the Best you can get, atm I consider that silver
Farming: Use warped arrows, if your farming the mobs are likely lower than you and the damage difference between warped and silver is not worth wasting the silver for farming.
Behest: Use Warped, there is so much damage going around the extra damage from Silver is not worth it. Exception: If the behest is shortmanned (during off primetime hours) you may want to use Silver or if your running with friends LS mates, you want to use your best.
Static Groups: Use your best, your likely going against hard mobs to get the most SP you can.
PUG Groups: Again use your best as your likely fighting the hardest mobs you can kill fast and the extra damage adds up. You also don't wanna be the player who only used warped arrows.

Really, its all situational on which arrows to use. I always suggest a few stacks of warped with you at all times, just in case you forget to restock or can't find better arrows on a retainer when you need em.

With the......need em.

That is the same thing I have been doing and seems to be working fine for me.

Well, I've been primarily using Silver Arrows on my r42 ARC. I think White Coral Arrows are pretty terrible overall, they do 20%of their damage as Water element, but even against Earth element enemies (ostensibly weak to Water) the Silver consistently outdamages them. Since the Blue and Red Corals are also partial elemental damage I'm assuming Silver is as good as it gets.

agreed i gave up the coral arrows altogether because of this and stick with silver on my rnk 50 arc

curently crafting my arrows and at R31-32 Carp i can make Silver arrows so just in case any of you are interested its a very cheap way to keep ammo you need since lol 99 of all the mats will make 32,967 arrows ^^ provided you do not botch synth
for me it's great cause i never want to run out of ammo in the field

[JunkPunch]

Thanks for the heads up. This is indeed awesome info.

I am level 50 archer so I use the highest level arrows. Red coral arrows have the highest attack and accuracy. Don't over think it.

I don't see why everyone condemn Coral Arrows. Red Coral outdoes every other in terms of damage so long as the enemy isn't crazy resistant to Water or anything like that. It's not like you are losing any damage because of the water damage. I have no idea where that misconception came from. It says 70% Projectile 30% Water. It's still 100% damage so you aren't losing anything. Just don't use them against Water-strong enemies.

Interesting Info. Especially for the weaknesses of the NM's. I just made some Blue Coral Arrows for a LS buddy. He is R42 Archer by now and helped with gathering the mats for the arrows. Most here say Silver is "the best" and the last say this isn't true and now i'm confused. *lol* Because my main fighting class is archer too and i'm R36 and still use Silver Arrows of course because they're the best for my current rank. And yes, i too intended to use Blue Coral Arrows when i would hit R42. Now i woner if i should stick to Silver all the way to 50 or change to the Coral Arrows instead.

Arrows are situational. Don't swap to one type just because.
