Empyrean longbow screenshot from Alpha-2.^[1]

Los arcos son un tipo de arma de rango en Ashes of Creation.^[3] Los arcos son armas que usan proyectiles. Los jugadores que se crucen en la trayectoria (de una flecha disparada) pueden ser impactados.^[4]^[5]

Los ataques básicos de losarcos cortos son más rápidos, menos poderosos y de un rango más corto que los arcos largos.^[6]^[1]
- Mantener presionado el ataque básico implicará realizar de forma repetida este ataque en lugar de un ataque cargado.^[6]

The direction that we went with the shortbow was a lot more- I almost want to say acrobatic- like you can use this a lot more freely movement. It doesn't slow you as much. It's a higher rate of fire. Basically this is the more mobile feeling, lightweight version of the longbow: So it's not quite as powerful because you're making some trade-offs here with range and attack speed.^[6] – Tradd Thompson

Los ataques básicos de los arcos largos son más lentos, poderososy tienen más alcance que los arcos cortos.^[6]^[1]
- Cliquear el ataque básico realizará un ataque normal.^[1]
- Mantener presionado el ataque básico cargará el disparo (y enraizará al personaje) para causar daño extra. Estos también pueden combinarse con ataques normales para crear picos de daño.^[1]^[7]

Los arcos no necesitarán munición (flechas).^[8]

En su lugar, los desarrolladores están considerando consumibles/buffs que se puedan aplicar a las armas.^[8]

We are thinking about unique buffs that can be applied to your weapons that are on a per-instance basis of the attack; so, for example, you might have a quiver that you can activate on a cooldown, and that quiver might apply some type of rider effect on the basic weapon attack that you have equipped. Or, you might have some type of alchemical consumable that applies it to your melee weapon. Those I think are interesting because they add an element of horizontal gameplay, depending on the adversary you're facing or the challenge you're up against.^[8] – Steven Sharif

A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.^[11]^[12]^[13]

Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.^[11]^[12]
There will be a setting to determine if the ranged weapon or main/offhand is the primary weapon to use for Q or left-mouse-button basic attacks.^[11]^[12]
Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons.^[14] Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.^[15]
- Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.^[16]
Some Habilidades del ranger require a bow to be equipped.^[17]
