Did you know, with mounted archery, if you run on your mount before loading a skill that forces you to walk, such as Magnum Shot or Crash Shot, you'll still run instead of walk?
I WISH I KNEW THIS EARLIER!

I use it for crash shot all the time :3
I actually discovered it while training crash shot, too.

But bows are so much nicer than crossbows... and you don't get glued to the ground after loading those two skills.

Yes.. because we all know the closer you are to the foe the less of a man you are...
I actually knew this.. but I didn't find it useful, since I never got into archery... didn't peek my interest in Mabinogi
(Well it did in CBT and OBT when people kept saying it was Underpowered, but now that I see it.... yeah no.)

Crossbows are so devastating to armored soldiers that they were banned by the pope at one point.
The Magna Carta sought to ban foreign crossbowmen in order to defend the realm but a Pope had tried to ban this weapon even before this time. The devastating effect of the crossbow and the wounds it could inflict were reflected by these Medieval weapon bans. Article 51 of the Magna Carta stated the following:
" As soon as peace is restored, we will banish from the kingdom all foreign born knights, crossbow men, sergeants and mercenary soldiers who have come with horses and arms to the kingdom's hurt."
In 1139 Pope Innocent II and the Church of the Lateran Council issued a judgement against the use of the crossbow by Christians against Christians. The Medieval crossbow was referred to as "the deadly art, hated by God, of crossbowmen..."
God hates my ego, but I love my crossbow. :<

If you're using sarcasm there, you should note that he is an elf archer... there's literally no other combat style in Mabinogi that encourages close range combat and being right on top of the enemy as much as elf range does.
