Magic bow for gift of the bow quest?

[emitfudd]

I am currently in warfarer vocation. I have a magic bow equipped as well as my mace and a dual spear. I went to the location to meet the elf to shoot the targets and I can't do it with my magic bow with just the starting skills. Do I have to change vocation to archer or do I need to buy a regular bow and use it with warfarer?

I don't know if it is the Warfarer getting in the way or not. I just did it myself about an hour ago as a Magick Archer with a magic bow and it worked fine.

I wonder if you need a regular bow and Archer class to do the Archer quest talking about teaching the guy archery with a human bow...

You can do it as Warfarer u just need a normal Archer bow any Archer bow wil do

I thought that at first too, but the pawns will usually say something about needing a bow if you have the quest tracked, but they never mentioned anything while I was a Magick Archer so just went for it and it worked fine. The game doesn't have a lot of flags/triggers you'd think it should for stuff like this.

Off to buy a cheap bow then. Thanks.

What skills did you have equipped to use the magic bow. The standard skills I have available don't allow for aiming the bow.

I didn't use any skills. I just held the normal right trigger (Rivet shot option) and fired at it. Luckily the middle arrow hit the target and it continued the quest like normal.

I'll be honest, I would not of thought you could complete it as anything but an archer, it makes zero sense and isn't inkeeping with the way the game has consequences at all.

I've been trying to read up on how to even use the bow. Had no idea what conversion was for. I guess I will go somewhere and practice. Trying to learn how to use all the vocations with warfarer makes my head hurt.

Select it, aim it, fire it? Pretty straightforward, good luck when you find the sphinx!

Conversion changes the skill between Pinpoint Volley and Rivet shot which changes the size of the shot arrow and the speed with which the targets are locked on.

When I first started MA was confused about it, but some people gave me some good advice on this thread: https://steamcommunity.com/app/2054970/discussions/0/4352240180484522350/

That's the issue. There are no prompts to aim or fire. I forget you can use the regular attack button. I always focus on the special moves because the prompt is right there on the screen.

It's the class ability, so for mouse and keyboard that would be right click to aim, like in 99% of games, I suspect it is as generic on controller.

You are also told this when you unlock the classes.
