PvP Archer

[Cerveza]

Whats a good template? I usually run stealth archers but with the changes coming down for hiding and smoke bombs and such I'm thinking of a more direct attacking char. Lone wolf style char that will be used with others on raids and fights. Definitely a red char and probably not factions, but maybe.

Right now this is what I'm going with:

100 Archery (HH for 120)
100 Tactics
100 Anatomy
90 Healing
120 Resist
110 Ninjitsu
100 Meditation

On that template I'd drop Med some and put on bushido until you hit the 300 skill requirement so you can chain specials.

Agreed. As it is, you get -5 mana cost having 200-299 skill points. Once you hit the 300 skill mark you'll get -10 mana cost.

Swordsmanship, Mace Fighting, Fencing, Archery, Throwing, Parry, Lumberjacking, Stealth, Poisoning, Bushido, and Ninjitsu are the skills that contribute to it. (Just incase you forget  )

Ouch... getting 70 Bushido would give me the bonus, but leave me with only 30 med.

As I remember med, isn't it only good in blocks of 20? Like 20 or 40 is good, but 30 is basically the same as 20?

I guess the Confidence heals would be worth it. Wouldn't be able to rely on Lightning Strike....

[Cerveza]

Here's where I'm at and what I'm doing....

120 Magic Resistance
110 Ninjitsu
100 Meditation
96 Anatomy (up)
90 Healing
82.9 Tactics (up)
76.7 Archery (up)
44.4 Focus (down)

I was killing some stuff to give me archery+tactics gains. Now I think I'll get on a boat with a caster and run my blade spirit uoxl swap archery trainer.

I'm still debating turning med dow and getting 70 Bushido to gain the lower mana cost for specials.

hey cerv ive got a couple wolf spiders if you wanna try that.  No loss of durability on your wep. I 120'd another archer in like six hours the other day, seriosly.  I started with 40 archery. 

[TrailMyx]

Any idea on how many arrows you might go through?  It's been a while since I've done something like that.

[Cerveza]

I'm real close to 100 now, I use Windsong? with the self repair 3 on it.

I went from 76.7 to 94 archery in 3.5 hours this morning. Should finish up at 100 tonight. Anat is 100 now and Tacs is around 96. I still may drop med for Bush... I'll have to see how many AI's I can do now, then stone off med and get bush up. Then see how many I can get off.

Maybe I'll just hit test and give it a go. Armor isn't that critical when testing because it's the same either way. I just want to know if adding in Bushido would give me more AI's.

I just farmed like 40k last night. I have like 8 quivers on me and didn't use half of them... so around 2k arrows from 76 to 94.

That's pretty good.  I remember it was harder to raise at one point.  Wonder how many for 120?

[Cerveza]

I wish I'd have counted them up.

I started close to 50 and did the Haven quest. Then I ran a little diddy that takes me on a tour of Level 1 Despise (lizardman level). I run that till I hit about 70, then run the blade spirit dual trainer from there.

As long as you have already trained up your healing method, you can do lizard men really easy. It's like one night to get from 50 to 70's.

Finished, now need to test med vs bushido.

Looking at bows for the char. Magical shortbow in particular. Looks like 20 ssi is all anyone would ever want...

Code: [Select]

Magical Shortbow 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40
90-119 Dex 2.25 2.00 2.00 1.75 1.75 1.75 1.50 1.50 1.50
120-149 Dex 2.00 1.75 1.75 1.50 1.50 1.50 1.50 1.25 1.25
150-179 Dex 1.75 1.50 1.50 1.50 1.25 1.25 1.25 1.25 1.25
At 150+ Stamina (yes it says dex in the chart) you will shoot max speed with a 20 SSI bow, which is the same as a 30 SSI bow. The only break you get is with a faster bow.

Getting a 35 SSI bow would allow 120-150 stamina to swing max speed so that might be what I shoot for. A little better chance of Ash enhancing only going to 35 vice going to 40.

So all magical shortbows I make now will be 25 SSI. No point in going 30.

Go for 40ssi its alaways better to have it on safe side. Have u tought mystics archer  focus and mystics. Good healing spells stone(fast heals and cure needs balanced bow) cleansing wind(bit slower but heals a lot and cures)+ u can cast sc and hit effect on ur bow.  Check what all spells it has to offer like sleep and bombard uber at slowing enemy down.

ofc this would mean little diffrent  armor

Turns out that:

100 Archery
110 Ninjitsu
100 Tactics
===
310 for reduction of mana for specials.

Tactics IS included. Uoguide has the info on the tactics page, but it's missing from the specials page.

Good find Cerveza. I was wondering about tactics myself and why it got left out.
