==Crit Arrow==
:'''GM Quote on using crit arrows: ''"This 'trick' doesn't actually work, so no, you won't get banned for it."'' - Surtur'''

There are some arrows that have a 1% crit bonus.  Some people have assumed that this was actually a character buff, because it used to affect what your stats would show, rather than appearing to be a property of the arrow when fired, and thus they equipped "crit arrows" in order to increase their critical hit rate.  However, '''this does not work'''.

The "crit arrow" has been tested numerous times, and when a large objective sample has been used, the difference between having one equipped or not has never been statistically significant.

If this trick ''did'' work, you would be utilizing an unauthorized exploit to get an advantage in the game, which is bannable under the [http://www.perfectworld.com/about/terms Terms of Service] agreement you made when signing up to play the game.

It should be noted that, since the Genesis expansion, having a crit arrow equipped no longer affects your crit% stat.

'''In short:''' Equipping a "crit arrow" will only actually increase your crit rate when firing the arrows.
