Shai graveyard spirites--Arcane Archer question

It has been a long time since I have played in the graveyard. (since before the Varanite sacking). As I remember it took a +2 or better weapon to hit the ghosts. Lacking such a weapon now I waited until after I advanced enough levels in Arcane Archer to get the +2 to my arrows. Am I mistaken that arrows should be counted as magical if fired by an Arcane Archer? ie. +1, +2, etc.

Or am I mistaken in this whole thing.

It should be like a +2 weopon like a +2 bow... Thats how its been on a pvp server and never has been changed... So AA's were able to get throught wizards damage reduc really easy... So really I think it should be a +2 weopon

The Arcane Archer plusses are not suppose to stack with magical arrows. Even if I had managed to get the AA +5 to arrow if I use a +1 magic arrows it should still be a +1 magical arrow with no bonus from the AA abilities. The AA bonuses should only work with non-magical arrows.

I can hit these spirits easily enough but I can not do any damage with my arrows which should count as +2 magical arrows right now.

Mon-Da-Oth is right. But who knows, maybe Bioware screwed it up *shrug*

Its should allow you to have your bonus of +2 dont use that kind of arrows.. Try regular and see if your attack bonus increased since you switched arrows... I dont think bioware screwed up its how its been on another server I play on... kinda lol

Or use piercing/flame/cold arrows. There is no bonus to hit with those, just extra damage. Right?

I usually use standard arrows with Myles. The only time I seem to get/find magical arrows is when Horrid jumps on him and a quiver of +1 arrows will fall out of his fur.

I could craft some more piercing arrows and try those but with only one extra point of damage it will take a long time to bring one of the spirits down by plinking it to un-death. I don't think Myles would stand up to the beating he would take for that length of time.

I guess to paraphrase my questions it would be. Should the arrows fired by an Arcane Archer count as magical arrows and if so should I be able to fight the spirits with these arrows?

Thanks

Aye they should be like magical arrows being able to hit creatures needing +2 weopons.

So is it a bug that I can't damage the Shai spirits with my arrows?

If I had a +2 longsword then I guess that would answer my question.
