| − | The [[Slingshot]] is the first Ranged Weapon available in the game. Although the [[Fibre]]s required in its construction can be troublesome to obtain*, it is a useful tool for hunting, since it allows you to initiate combat without the animal running away.
| |
| | | | |
| − | The Slingshot uses [[Any Stone|stones]] as ammunition. A stone of any kind must be in your inventory in order to fire the Slingshot.
| + | With a {{i|Slingshot}} equipped to your Left Hand Slot and {{i|Any Stone}} in your Inventory, pilgrims can use {{i|Shoot}} Combat Move. Although the Slingshot doesn't do much [[Blood]] damage it can be a useful tool for hunting, as it allows you to initiate Combat from a distance, giving you time ready to another Attack before the [[Creature]] reaches to you. To Shoot, click the Shoot Attack and then click the cursor in the direction you wish to Shoot, however, if the target has moved, you will miss, so aim well. Shots do not travel over solid objects. Slingshot does .5 Blood Damage to both Creatures and Players. Damage from a Shoot Attack is increased by your [[Artifact#Common Combat Power|Common Combat Power]] [[Artifact]] Bonus and [[Artifact#Common Combat Defense|Common Combat Defense]] Artifacts will reduce the damage you take from a Shoot Attack. |

| − | *'''Caution:''' The Slingshot will happily fire [[Smooth Stones]], [[Lime]], and [[Flint]] at your target, so be careful that you don't end up shooting valuable stones.

| − | To Fire a [[Slingshot]], you must first select the [[Shoot]] command from the Combat->Attack menu. Clicking with your mouse-cursor will aim the shot at wherever you clicked. Your character will grasp the slingshot in their Left hand while pulling back with their Right. The right-hand will shift around a bit while "taking aim", but this should not be confused with swinging a Sling (as opposed to a Slingshot) around in the air with your Right hand, since Slings are not in the game. | |

| − | When the shot is fired, a white line will trace it's trajectory to the target, and the fist-sized rock you just hurled will do a trivial amount of damage and serve only to make the creature angry. Be prepared to engage in combat now, since a homicidal bunny rabbit (Or whatever you attacked) will be barreling down at you, thirsting for blood. if you fired from maximum range, you should have time to perform a [[Stomp]], but it's safer to be ready with a more direct attack instead, like [[Uppercut]] or [[Thrust]].

| − | * A [[Slingshot]] MUST be equipped to the Left Hand.
| |
| − | * Slingshot damage seems to be around 0.5*sqrt(YB/10).
| |
| − | More data is needed to determine what the Damage Constant is, and if any other factors are involved.--[[User:Hans Lemurson|Hans Lemurson]] ([[User talk:Hans Lemurson|talk]]) 00:08, 9 March 2013 (CST)
| |
| − | * Impassable objects (walls, boulders, stumps...) cannot be shot over.
| |
| − | * The slingshot targets the ground, not the animal you are trying to hit. Aim for it's feet and you'll hit fine.
