Archery Butte

An Archery Butte is a target that may be used by a character wielding an Archery skill weapon. With a bow or crossbow in hand, a character standing a few steps away double-clicks the archery butte to shoot an arrow or crossbow bolt at it. The result of the shot will be displayed indicating the level of accuracy and a score. No Archery skill is required to shoot at an archery butte and there is considerable debate as to whether the result of the shot is random, tied to the shooter's Archery skill or even reliant on where the butte is double-clicked. Results can range from a complete miss to a "robin hood" shot in which one arrow penetrates a previous bullseye arrow from behind.

Archery buttes will train a character's Archery skill up to 30.0 and can be found in numerous towns and, as of Publish 53, in some player homes as they became an 80,000 point reward option during Phase II of Spring Cleaning 2008.

Some arrows or bolts shot into an archery butte may be reclaimed by standing directly in front of the butte and double-clicking it.
