What would be a good outfit for archers?

[Polobow]

Trolling is good for your health. Can't be stubborn and boring all the time   

On a serious note i have seen friendly archers run around with that gear and Longbow recently. Everyone doesn't have to look the same. Even though it would be complete and utter WPF rape.

Baggy trolls for energy. He sleeps 3 hours if he had a succesfull troll day...

Light strange armor +3 + mail gauntlets +3 gets you 51 body 17 legs at a 7 wpf penalty.  I think the cap is 7.5 so you can wear khergit leather boots for 51 body 31 legs.  If you get hit in the head you're dead anyways.

Baggy is muted now. So his health is bad.

Sadly. However, when he still was in SoA he had enough by seriously trolling other clan members. Not sure what clan he went.

Tribal Warrior outfit, just pick whatever looks best to you for shoes and hat.

Obviously most of the time it's just choosing between what style you like, but here are my choices in CRPG for Archers.

If you get headshot as an archer it's almost 100% of the time going to kill you so hat/helmet choice isn't really important as far armor goes, but it's advised to use either no helmet/hats or use one with no weight such as these:

For body armor there's several choices and if you see something you like then go for it, but if you want maximum armor protection while having minimum weight these are my choices for the best:

There's plenty of choices for footwear as well, but I prefer these:

Really? I think it's the best looking out of the archer repertoire  I've always used it for my archer chars.

regarding performance with a lordly light strange armor and lordly mail mittens you could have 48 body armor and 18 leg armor(due to the derp heirloomed light strange armor values) with 7 of weight, adding that with some leg armors(0 weight is +6, 0.5 weight is +14) you could reach
48 body armor
32 leg armor(36 with loomed boots)(0.5 weight leg armor)
7.5 weight(the penality starts at 7.7 iirc so you would have full wpf)
this would be insane for an archer(I'm not sure but I think jambi uses this)however you would look pretty ugly

red gambeson & mail gauntlets ftw. 

I don't wear head armor.  a) because I get to show off my skullet and b) you're probably going to get one shot in the head regardless of the armor you use since archers don't usually go with much IF.

[Rangerbob]

don't forget you get 2x wpf penalty for gloves and 3x for helm.  so your .5 mail gauntlets turn into 1 when used to calculate wpf penalty.

that's why studded leather coat (5 kgs) + leather gloves (0 kgs) + skull cap (0.5x3=1.5kgs) + nomad boots (0.5kgs) turns to have exactly 7kgs and no wpf penalty.

Afaik under 5 is a bonus/good to wpf, 5-10 is neutral 10+ is minus?

[Gurnisson]

I use Leather Jerkin, Spiked Nomad Cap, Nomad Boots and Leather Gloves. I like the hunter style myself.
