Archer build w/longbow

[Goat_Fighter]

Alright ill go that 18/21 build thanks guys I just got my bow +2 and 65k 

[Templar_Steevee]

i'm using short arming sword, it's a good weapon and i like ho it's look like. Remember one thing: slow archer is dead archer, with more athletics you will be able to shoot a bit more, in melee many guys ar so great, that you will have no chances to kill them, 3 ps is enought IMO. And for longbow get as much WPF in archery

[Goat_Fighter]

Is your short arming loomed?

[Templar_Steevee]

Yes, I have it on +3. It's not op, but it's nice and I like it I'm playing for so long that except boots all is on +3 (benifits from looming boots are not worth it).

[Goat_Fighter]

alright, I got a broad so far  its really good.. just I don't feel like looming it, its pretty OP by itself

[Sharpe]

Specially when you have that high ath/agility, broad short can be a nightmare.

[Goat_Fighter]

alright im level 28 prolly wont get to level 31 because Im not really getting accepted into strat battles wich sucks so should I respect so I can use my bow and become archer or should I wait till I retire then go archer any suggestions?

[Sharpe]

Personally I'd retire first get the lp, make the longbow +3 and then start your archer.

[Goat_Fighter]

I don't think a +3 longbow is much different from a +2 longbow idk, I kinda wanna get my arrows asap I can get 2 lp's to get a +3 bodkins good idea?

[Templar_Steevee]

on +3 longbow is getting +1 to accuracy, it will help a bit in aiming looming arrows give you more ammo, and +5 arrows in quiver is a lot if you will make it on +3.

[Jeraz]

The thing with bodkins is this: Looming only gives it +amount of arrows.

Looming it 1 time:  +3
Looming it 2 times:+3
Looming it 3 times:+5

So looming it 2 times is useless, just loom it once or 3 times, keep that in mind.

[Sharpe]

If youre an archer and you refuse to be more accurate there is something wrong, so loom the longbow. And honestly I do notice the difference between a +2 and +3 longbow.

If you are too poor, just get a cheap +1 bodkin quiver, it helps a lot to get 36 arrows compared to 30 arrows only. The main thing as archer is to get first the bow loomed, especially the longbow to make it more accurate.

You will get to the bigger strat battles when you reach lvl30, I'm sure. Just go on one team's teamspeak even if they haven't accepted you. There are usually plenty of slots after a roll call and level30's, even lesser known players are welcome. At lower levels it might be hard to get in unless you're known.

Longbow doesnt seem like a good deal to me...

Unless they fixed missile speed already...
