I am looking for a definitive answer to whether an ammo piece for a ranged weapon's DMG and stats are counted into regular melee attacks and non-ranged WS attacks. That is, does it benefit me to have Hauksbok Bullet equipped when doing Savage Blade?

Ammo counts, but I fail to see why the bullet in question matters for savage blade.

You likely meant arrow.

Why would either bullet or arrow matter for Savage Blade? Or for that matter, whether there's even a ranged weapon equipped at all (outside of whatever stat boost it might potentially give, e.g. 17 STR & DEX on Arasy Bow +1 or something).

You clearly don't know what the arrow is, I see

Nor does Hya, apparently

Bayeaux Arrow STR+20. I don't see how that's not covered under what I said, "outside of whatever stat boost it might potentially give."

The original question, unless I'm misreading it, is whether ammo DMG affects non-ranged WS like Savage Blade.

ACSHUALLY (sorry, had to) he said, "DMG and stats", and afaik, DMG no, stats yes.

And you should be using Hauksbok Arrow for Savage Blade unless I missed something in the last year.

There is a note below the arrow:

Quote:
Notes
The +20% Weapon Skill Damage applies to any weapon skill, not solely ranged.

I dont think there is any ambiguity here.

it would also take like 4 WS to "test" this on your own and verify how ambiguous it is, as well.

So RNG needs a TP Bonus Bow and COR needs a TP Bonus gun? Lame!
