First, most melee attacks get bonus from your strength. So if you've put 10 levels into strength, your hand will do 10 damage, and your +12 sword will do 22 damage.looool, i start the game, is very fun the crafting, harvest ..... but someting is bugged / funny with the dommage vs ennemi / animal after 15 minutes playing
a hand = 1 damage
pickaxe = 2 damage
axe = 2 damage
club = 2 damage
basic arrows = 4 damage (do not test the other 2 arrows)
bow without arrow =???? 9 dommage ???, a bug?
how a rotten bow that I have in my right hand and that I hit with my left hand (with my fists) does more damage than the other examples cited above![]()
Arrows are an exception - they deal damage equal to percentage of your strength. I think it's 40% for basic arrows.
As a result, attacks with bow will always be more powerful than attacks with arrows.
