The Archer Skeleton Card works for long range attacks in iRO but this card has been nerfed in kRO and only works on bows now this means bad news to people in kRO who have used archer skeleton card in anything other than bows I just want to get an answer from the GMs or anyone who knows whether Archer Skeleton Cards are going to get nerfed in iRO

doubt it, with renewal the card effects were different, they actually changed the description on the card instead of changing the effect

Was there even a single period in that OP? I had trouble telling what the question was from my attempt to read that.

The iRO GM's have yet to make a concrete answer as to whether they'll consider applying this update in the future or not. Suffice to say, I found out that the original effect behind the card was actually originally only intended for Bow-class weapons back in Pre-renewal. So it's no wonder if they wish to return it to its original intended effect. Sadly, there's so many weapons carded with AS now(+9 Hunting Spear/Cardo/Carga Mace) that it makes potentially useful weapons useless unless you get a de-carding NPC that doesn't downgrade your upgrades.

And other classes such as gunslingers will not be able to use Archer skeleton cards, so guns might be useless as well.

It should really be changed to "ranged weapons" not "bows" or "ranged attacks", so that it worked for gunslinger. However, I'd still rather it be bow-only than apply to sura and rune knight weaponry, etc. The card in and of itself is really strong in renewal due to how it applies to stat-based ATK equally with weapon ATK, unlike +20% cards. Its also really generic/easy to use unlike +20% cards. Overall it makes having a "perfect" weapon possible instead of an array of specialty weapons. Its a good fix and we really should suck it up and take it in stride rather than complaining. iRO Grav could offer a de-card service for that card like they did with Carat way back when.

With the recent nerf to CS on kRO, will it even matter if this skill affects all ranged attacks and not just while in a bow?

[Kadelia]

still would work with stuff like gate of hell and acid bomb etc and probably shouldn't.

GMs should really have a place in the forums where we can see whatever they're going to nerf and stuff anytime soon like what updates and stuff they're going to take from kRO also if they are going to nerf this card I hope it will work with at least guns, musical instruments and bows
