Rs archers vs. real life archers (If u do archery plz read!)

well...lemme see here....i did alot of research into the area when i was little...(after mars....but before egypt.) and rangers would wear armour of leather and sometimes studded leather, as to defend against small accidnets and because it was lightweight. the studs also procected SOME against other incomming arrows.

Runescape archery is SOOOO unrealistic it's not even funny. (then again, so is melee but archery is more)


If you're hit in your torso or head, you're basically dead instantly, and the 'hardness' of the tip matters little because it moves so fast. And the only armour you need is gloves for hand stability and an armband because sometimes (happened to me more than once) when you let go of the string it moves fast enough to scrape your arm and it hurts....

I once had a bruise throughout my entire bottom of my arm

i did a huge report on the Renaissance, i should know.

they did use leather, sometimes studded, sometimes even chainmail. unlike in RS, they did not wear helmets.

like in RS sometimes, they carried a dagger with them just in case.

which was why kings has so much gold, and arrows weren't cheap back in the renaissance.

and rl rangers aren't called rangers, they're called archers... and they certainly don't wear leather nowadays.

basically what i said, but u brought up darts. eh, darts won't do much unless they're super hard and sharp, and the thrower better dam have some good aim and strength.
