Talk:Sling of Unerring Accuracy/@comment-2601:602:8480:3343:5CF2:DA02:DCB1:4109-20190923034409

Any thoughts on how it compares (for combat value) with the regular Sling +1? This sling gives +2 to hit, no damage bonus, and a speed factor of 6. The Sling +1 gives +1 to hit, +1 damage, and speed factor 5. In the shop, this one sells for 5 times a much, so presumably the designers/developers think that this is more valuable.

But hitting 5% more often doesn't seem as valuable as doing 25% more damage.

Ah -- also noticing (here in the wiki, it's not mentioned in game that I can see) that this one has a range of 100 feet, vs. the 50 foot range of the Sling +1. This puts it on a par with crossbows (I don't see any range stats for bows). Keeping your slingers further back from the fight seems worthwhile.
