Snakebite Charm: Midas Statue

Set Additional Bonus: +25 HP, +4 ATT, +1 DEF, +4 DEX, +2 SPD, +8 VIT

Bow of the Wanderer

A powerful bow looted from Euryale’s broken body. It hisses angrily as you draw it, much like its previous owner.

Tier ST Shots 2 (arc gap: 11°) Damage 95–125 (average: 110) Projectile Speed 15 tiles/second Lifetime 0.41 seconds Range 6.15 tiles Amplitude 0.65 tiles Frequency 0.75 cycles/shot Effects Shots hit multiple targets Rate of Fire 80% Fame Bonus 5% Soulbound Feed Power 800 Loot Bag Drops From Euryale the Serpent Goddess

Notes:

Due to the nature of the projectile path, activating an ability with this bow equipped will alter the firing pattern in a similar fashion to the Nectar Crossfire.

When the entire Perseid Archer set is equipped, the weapon projectile changes to:





Centaur’s Bane

A quiver of arrows dipped in the caustic blood of the monstrous Lernaean Hydra. Upon closer inspection, it appears to be made from human skin.

Tier ST MP Cost 120 Shots 1 Damage 260-280 (270) Poison Damage 930 (186 damage/second) Poison Duration 5 seconds Poison Radius 1.5 tiles Projectile Speed 12 tiles/second Range 10 tiles Effects Shots pass through obstacles Cooldown 4 seconds On Equip +25 HP, +4 SPD, -4 DEF Fame Bonus 6% Soulbound Feed Power 700 Loot Bag Drops From Beast of Euryale

Euryale the Serpent Goddess



Notes: The quiver projectile attempts to apply the poison effect to all enemies within a 1.5 tile radius of the enemy hit. The initial damage is affected by enemy defense, but the poison damage is not. This quiver does not pierce enemies.



Serpentine Shroud

Agile but rugged leather armor made from the scaly hood of an enormous snake. Lyrical designs are etched into the pauldrons, and the whole garment smells faintly of smoke.

Tier ST On Equip +15 DEF, +4 DEX, +40 HP Fame Bonus 4% Soulbound Feed Power 500 Loot Bag Drops From Beast of Euryale

Snakebite Charm

A curious gem that evokes a distinct sense of unease. To bear it is to yield to an unknown will, and accept in return the power it offers.

Tier ST On Equip +55 HP, +4 DEF, +4 ATT, +4 SPD Fame Bonus 4% Soulbound Feed Power 500 Loot Bag Drops From Midas Statue

Finally finished (nearly)! I’ve had several ideas for an Archer set floating around in my head for almost a year now; originally I planned for it to drop from my own version of an Epic Forbidden Jungle but unfortunately DECA pulled a fast one on me and released the Secluded Thicket.

I am aware of the existence of JohanCen’s Phoenix Archer set so I’ve tried to look at it as little as possible while I worked on this, although some concepts/stat balances are still likely to be similar. I also noticed a striking similarity between my quiver and the one in PisakPL’s Wild Archer set but again any similarities are purely coincidental. I’ll update soon when all the animations for the 16x16 skin are done.

Next on the list is the dungeon this set drops from, The Slithering Dark - a much harder and more dangerous variation of the Snake Pit in line with the other Epic dungeons, thematically inspired by aspects of Ancient Greek mythology.

Special thanks to the helpful folks over at the RotMG Ideas Discord for their feedback and suggestions.

Let me know what you think!
