Problem - autofire

[spudz90]

lvl 60 ranger on ragefire with 10/300 skill in archery and the skill will not go up. I have been doing autofireon for over 3 hours, so I should have gotten atleast one point if not maxxed it by now. I reset the kissassist with the only change in autofireon=1.

Are you attacking at least light blue mobs? If not that's your issue. I hope this isn't an insulting question!

What are you attacking? If you watch the ranger is he actually firing his bow? Did you cast Eagle Eye on yourself?

All valid questions posed by the community.

Scroll back in view or change camera angle to verify ranger is going through the physical action of firing bow.

Mob con level should be light blue as mentioned.

Worst case scenario... can you get it to work by dueling a friend or another boxed toon,,, walk away far enuf for ranged weapon to fire but not out of weapon range .... and report back please.

I can confirm bow skill is working. Dark blues seem to net faster skill ups. They go in spurts, I get 3 to 5 skill up in a 5 minute period then may not see another for the next 10 minutes. This is against Light blue and Dark blue mobs.

Thank you nyghteyes for your contribution / confirmation nothing is inherently wrong with autofire.

Here is a little trick I learned in 2000 that will help you out big time.
Practice archery on perma-rooted mobs. They snap back to their original position once they get to the end of their invisible leash. lol

Perfect mob for archery skillups at your level is "The Tangrin" in Field of Bone .. Kunark zone.

He is level 54 ... perma-rooted, and used by rangers and bow using classes since the expansion came out to level archery....

At least he was a perma-rooted mob still in 2006 when I last went after him for archery skills. So don't freak if they changed it.
