What to hunt as an Archer?

[Saber]

This may have been covered already but I couldn't find it if it was....
What are some of the prefered ceatures to hunt as an Archer? Listing by level ranges would be great, but for reference I'm level 17 and have a AS of 180 with a +18 Long Bow in Offensive (working on mastering fletching). I was blade hunting War Trolls, Titans, Grey Orcs, Mountain Ogres, etc. (in GSIII)., but I seem to need anywhere from 5 - 9 hits to finish these off. Although at 3x hiding it is pretty easy to remain hidden from the Ogres and Orcs, I have problems with the others.... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

Two words...


Fire Cave.


You won't get rich there unless you can skin real well... but it's easy experience and they die real easy due to no armor.

[Anebriated]

wights, masters and shamblers in Ta'Vaalor were easy prey for that age. Then move right up to niirsha and zombies. Good area for archers from 15-30

[Artha]

Fire cats/rats or the war cats that are near fire guardians.

Tundra giants and mants in Icemule. You can hunt there until you are probably 35.

Don't know exactly.. but for an archer, their ds is like 120 maybe for the first shot.. considerably less after stun. They have spells now.. but only spirtual ones. I don't believe they cast anything, but if a mant touches you as/ds wise.. there is a chance they will flare out and kill you. They are slow on the draw if you are firing a long bow at 3 seconds and my ranger can easily hide from them.

Go through the rolaren gate out the west gate of Icemule and stay inside (opening, path and tunnel)

Just to point out. Last time i was in fire cats/rats with my archer it didnt work well since when i was last there you cant kill fire cats with a bow

[Artha]

You can if you eblade your arrows.

edit: And arctic manticores are bitches, seriously. I'd stick with cyclops. You only get 90 exp per kill, but you'll never die.

You have to have e-bladed arrows for cyclops too. It's pretty easy to get 5k or so from skinning them, but they don't have much in the way of treasures.
