    When u hit lvl 50 + u won't need mana pots at all cause there are a lot of clerics who can buff u for mana and hp regeneration.
    But at low lvls your best "weapon" for saving mana points is winged shell. Use it and u will hardly ever need to use mp pots.
    My people, some of them have run away to the hills
    and have no shelter. No food, no one knows where they are,
    hear me my chiefs, I am tired. My heart is sick and sad,
    I will fight no more....

    winged shell, use mana pots, make apoth items, conserve skill use

    Personally I think the manna usage for an Archer in PW is a bit out of balance but as it is I use the potions increasing hp and manna regeneration and collect herbs to make these potions whenever I can see them.
    At times I will collect herbs for hours.....a run to collect my required herbs.

    the better your wep and rings the less mana/skils you need to use, also choose your enemy mobs wisely,also it seems that at lower levels you rely on the skills more

    my favorite combo is - frost, lightning (or that wood poison), normal, knockback, frost, normal...
    burns mana as crazy...hmpf... from 500mp to aprox 120mp and when I'm solo against something resiliant - it isn't enough to kill them and I have to kite too..
    cant wait to get to higher lvl.. this is fun, but can be frustrating (like runing from 1 enemy and bumping into another)

    You could buy better arrows, and only use freeze arrow.

    That equals or is a bit cheaper in PvE.

    Say per mob you use your skills like normal, thats about 250mp gone = 500g or so on pots?

    And say you can kill that same mob in 10 normal hits with better arrows then it would be cheaper, but a bit longer to kill the mob.

    I hardly use skills when I fight mobs. Usually for mobs, its normal attack, normal attack, frost arrow and knockback, then attack it until its dead. On some mobs i use winged shell first so yeah...Um in pvp I start with sharpened tooth, then stun or take aim and then the other people in my group finish them off. I hardly pvp atm and when I do, Im usually helping the people in the guild.

    Get a slingshot and use winged shell whenever it's off cooldown. On the mobs just use a knockback arrow or mix up the winged shell and frost arrow...which with a slingshot you should be able to keep that up as it gets chi quite quickly.

    thnx.. I just figured I was using to much skills... switched to the common "frost - normal- normal - knockback - normal"... works fine with the trial crossbow.. but before a decent weapon it was tough...

    Buying better arrows is a waste of money. Even at lvls 60 + I don't feel necessity to buy better arrows. I suggest u buy the normal arrows that go for 2 coins EA. Just use winged shell and u won't have any troubles with your mana. b:pleased
