Do you have someone summon arrow for you or do you fletch them?

Neither :P ((Though if a mage passes by and wants to toss me a couple hundred arrows....I don't complain)).

As a dark elf SK it took me a little bit to fix my commonlands arrow vendor faction....but wasn't too bad.

Archers gotta know their arrow oasis spots [You must be logged in to view images.

Overthere is also really handy and can take you from 20-40+ if you want).

Ahh yeah the difference between 1 and 3 damage arrows is perhaps negligable?

Yea, 2 extra damage on a bow is the same as 1 extra damage on a melee weapon....it's nice, but not really going to make a huge difference. Especially as a shadow archer where your damage is spread over more sources.

Snare, disease cloud, send pet, plink arrows, profit?

So did you stack up on dex gear ? I suppose the rest of the stats are useless other than mana related ones.

STR is the primary stat for bows on this server.... so max STR first.

Dex is VERY important though if you ever get a skydarkener (which paladin / sk can use). It is THE BEST bow for an sk / paladin to use if they primary archery. That is the big secret I would count on for later game to keep up with archery (50+).

And yea, more mana is nice....but really mana just increases your max pool, which is useless for efficiency hunting (it is more about mana regeneration at that point).

But there are some nice archery items. Like the 36% haste sword, a good fleeting quiver (20% haste), and other things like that (using a shield with high STR for example).

i believe wiki says dex gives archery its primary attack damage (not visible in stats window), not str.

I am not a dev, so I can't confirm if this is true on p99

My 30 DESK is sitting on a rock somewhere in the Rathe Mountains for the past two months. I think I might log him in and grab his bow from the bank, just to test your theory.

Yup...should be dex...but it's STR here....
