Your bow skill gives Critical Rate; for Citrine this is the extra 4% rate.

Also,technically speaking base crit rate for all classes is 5%.


the astral bow, the base is 1%....you don't need a weapon equipped to get this..but of course you need this skill on to use class specific skills...you can use general magic skills without the bow on.

The other bonus comes from the type of weapon you have equipped...which techinically just enhances(adds to) the astral bow bonus...and again this total bonus is only in effect if you have the astral bow skill turned on (icon for it is under the special tab when you open the skill window (button k)....the bonuses are as follows

1% Crude
2% Red
3% Coraleye
4% Citrine
5% Bluestin
6% Aqua

...and so on

So for you....

5% base
1% astral bow
4% citrine
4% bonus listed on the citrine

totals 14%

1% Crude
2% Red
3% Coraleye
4% Citrine
5% Bluestin
6% Aqua



this was very helpful ty. not sure if every1 knows about a bonus for each dif kinda wep. but a question to go along with that is, do u still get that bonus if ur using orbs instead of crystals?

[SUPERSAYIAN]

Yes you still get the bonus if you are using orbs.

To see your bonus, press K, go to your "Special" tab, and look at the stats on your "Astral Bow" skill. Crit Rate is not the only stat affected by it.

Yes you do...

FYI, the only classes that get bonuses from astral weapons are FA and FS...both classes get the bonus when equipping orbs or crystals...FA get bonuses to Magic Attack, Attack Rate and Crit Rate....FS get bonuses to Defense and Defense Rate. Also, WI looks like they should have an astral weapon, but they don't (the wand/stave is cosmetic only)...though I think they should have one that gives bonuses.
