Staff users not able to equip archery set

This would be easy to fix.

Change it so anyone with a staff equipped can't autoshoot. That fixes archers carrying around staves as they can't autoshoot, and staff users can still use bows, but also can't autoshoot. If you equip/unequip a weapon/bow item in battle, then autoattack and autoshoot turns off stopping archers equiping a staff after a battle has started and starting off with autoshoot on to get around it.

This is what Kerrlahg has said, but in a different way.

That way they can still hunt and equip a bow & arrow without comprimising attack or needing 25 in backpacking.

Ok for those of you who keep pointing out the idea of a second equipment set please remember that a person has to get to level 25 back packing for this to be an option... my problem with it is why should everybody else be able to hunt with ease and not need to change any equipment around and the only class to be penalized with having to actually build up a stat to level 25 to be able to carry a hunting set and not have to be taking on and off equipment is a caster.

therefore the ability of a caster to gain hunting experience is hindered while all others are not.

I would think that Jeff could easily add an item a bow that is only useable for hunting and this be the only bow that a caster could equip ... though I personally think that all two handed weapons users should also only be able to use this same bow.

I think it was zenga who offered an alternative. Carry a bow in the inventory and, before the battle ends, switch out staff with bow, so that when the battle ends the ability to hunt appears at the bottom of the screen.
