Ultima IX: Ascension Hints
Where can I get training in Archery?
1 of 3: You must first train with the proprietor of the archery shop, Leon, in Britain for 300 gold. Once learned you can fire three arrows at once in a small vertical spread. It is useful mainly at close range and against large monsters.
2 of 3: Raleigh, the Master Archer in Yew, will teach you the Flaming Shot skill for a cost of 2000 gold. It will use oil flasks automatically (and rather quickly) if you have them in your inventory. If you have no oil flasks, regular arrows will be fired.
3 of 3: Your last training will give you the Cloud Kill skill in archery free from Iolo. This skill drains some of your Mana but it charges each arrow with magical energy for superior damage.
