The Archery Potion is a buff potion which grants the Archery buff when consumed. The buff increases damage of arrow-firing weapons by 10% / 20%, as well as their velocity by 20%. This lasts for 8 minutes / 4 minutes, but can be canceled at any time by right-clicking the icon (Desktop version), by selecting the icon using Cycle Next/Previous Buff and then pressing Remove Buff (Console version), by selecting the icon and canceling it in the equipment menu (Old-gen console version), by double-tapping the buff icon (Mobile version), or by canceling the buff from the buffs screen (Nintendo 3DS version).

Notes

  • Unlike other items, it directly adds 10% / 20% of the overall damage of bows and repeaters; in other words, it multiplies with other damage boosts (including the damage boost from Shroomite Headgear and Magic Quiver).
  • Despite the tooltip saying it increases only the arrow's damage, it increases the combined damage of the bow or repeater and the ammo.[1]
  • On Desktop version Desktop, Console version Console, and Mobile version Mobile, it also affects the Stake Launcher.

History

  • Desktop 1.4.0.1:
    • Duration increased from 4 to 8 minutes.
    • Now also affects the Stake Launcher.
  • Desktop 1.2.3: One can now see the Archery buff's damage bonus in the item tooltips when it is up.
  • Desktop 1.0.6: Now boosts arrow speed and damage by 20% instead of 15%.
