Arrow usage is considerably higher than with archers, and if you're doing the mag/dex build you won't be able to use the most recent bow until a couple of levels after it becomes available. Until you get to 80, where the NPC gear runs out and you gotta get special stuff. I didn't bother with that, though.

Last I heard anyone with a big name in the archer community talk about it, they were pretty against it at lower levels. Since it's based on base damage, you won't be getting any real sort of power with it until you get to the tt/hh60 xbow. Besides that, I never used it after I got knockback and frost arrow. From there,…

You trollin'?

Well, I decided this was worth checking out, and google'd this guide for bowbarians. This was the one I decided to use. Results follow in huge picture below, but first a couple of notes... the buffs used are just the classes' own, so barb only has barb buffs and archer only has archer buffs. They've both got no gear other…

One of Caesar's archers took me down pretty easily with the W&C, but I think she was been 9x... if not, I need to do some work. Anyway, I have the W&C, thundercrack and unicorn. The W&C is the best grinding weapon I've ever seen.. thundercrack is good in pvp (don't have a lot to compare it to), and I only use the unicorn…

I'm not convinced by the hit rate... even with 98% hit, I can still miss every 2 mobs or so... even so much as 3 or 4 times per mob. 98% my ****.

I've run through 10k shot in a day's grinding before, and according to my calculations it would be pretty easy to use more. Having friends send you ammo is great, too.

I +2'd mine with an average garnet in its one socket. Worked pretty well.

But by using those mats you are losing money. Farm & sell mats = 3000 coins. Take away cost of arrows, 2800 coins. Farm & use mats = 0 coins.

And the visual difference is?

The wind & clouds is a fantastic weapon - it'll serve you well getting from 69-80. I've seen it suggested that the W&C can last till 88 (mold xbow), but I'm probably going to get the soulsmasher at 80.

That was more a reference to the fact that xbows suuuuuuck at pve (compared to slings, anyway).

This is what I do when in pvp mode, but it's seeming like something I won't really be able to do later on; the cost of tt90/similar level weapons is hueg.

As far as I can remember, Acephalid Death Knight. Level.. 70(?) mob from the swamp.

Kiting is shooting and running. Only useful for below level 19 and for soloing certain bosses (the ends of DQs, for example). I assume the Dragonbow is used mostly on PvE servers (or so I gather) is because it's a mid-range weapon.. saves making the xbow and the sling. Do y'all PvP server guys have a lot more time/money,…

Neither did I. When you've paid 50k for an hour of grinding, you don't want to be sitting around waiting for cooldowns.

Air mobs give significantly more exp than other mobs their level (and even 3 levels above), and have great drops too.

I think you may have just made several archers cry. This is the whole point of what we do. Anyway, when you have to kill 3000 mobs to level, and are spending your whole time with exp scrolls, you'll change that attitude. The only two times I've worked out how many mobs I killed in an hour it came out as slightly over 213…

That's a ridiculous number of skills.

I carry both with me.. although, I spend most of my grinding time in the air. b:victory

Why so much strength?

Light armour, xbow for pvp, citrine shards for HP aaand lightning skills. Looks like you got it all.

As Lunnark said, damage over time skills are near useless.. the only reason I use any of them is against bosses because the animations for them look pretty good. Anyway, my only combo was in use below level 70: Frost arrow -> normal -> normal -> knockback -> normal till dead At level 69, if/when you get the Wind & Clouds…

The solarslayer is better, but it comes at a huge cost increase. If the mold doesn't drop in your fb59, I wouldn't bother with buying it.. it's an expensive weapon, and not necessary. The tt60 xbow will serve you fine, and you'll want it to make one of the tt70 ones anyway.

Magic rings are completely useless. Unless you find one with +3% crit or something... which I don't think exists.

Grind grind grind. Or take a break from the game, only coming on every day to do CS. You'll get there eventually. With heavy grinding, you should be able to go up a level a day. [Heavy grinding being grinding all day, quickly]

Once you get into the swamp, big money shouldn't be a problem. In grinding from 68-69 I made about 800k.. fairly relaxed over a couple of days. Unfortunately, after the swamp, drop rate goes waaaay down again.

I dunno about your problem, but I'm pretty disappointed the archer couldn't take you out. Edit: Not that I don't like you/want you to die, just that I'm sad for that archer.

Eh, it happens. Never happens enough to me to really make a huge deal of, though.. perhaps I just don't use aim low enough.
