Your Archer + few other general tips
Have finished the game and wanted to share some advices for future Archer players as you can't respec your stat/skill points.

Starting Screen:
1.Help out Ida on her farm / Camp in the woods ( we will train both these skills so picking any of these is valid option)
2.Archery with Fox
3.Aron with smelting / Fox with Hunting ( if you realy need some help during first encounters pick Hunting otherwise Smelting)



Stats:
Vit: 2
Str: 3
Dex: 3
Int: 0
Wis: 0

Starting supply:
Heal pots or Speed pots

Starting Item:
Leech ring (if you picked Hunting instead of Smelting, Phoenix Ring might be an option)

Skills :
Swordplay: 0/4
Arcane arts: 0/4
Archery: 4/4
Create Weapon: 0/4 ( I went for it and never used it due to the fact that looted items are much better)
Create Armor: 0/4
Alchemy: 2/4 (so you can craft speed buff pots and few other)
Survival: 3/3 (I have maxed as your hunger and thirst drops significantly slower, cheat death isn't rly needed as you can load your game, you also get buffs to vitality and dodge for sleeping in bed. Also you heal more when tending wounds in tent and you will never broke your bones)
Cookig: 1/4 (I didn't feel need to have any more of it, it can give you nice bonuses but i passed on it)
Mining/Smelting: 3/4 (3/4 allows you to smelt Steel from which you can craft Steel Arrows-best arrows in game)
Farming: 3/3 (2/3 allows you to plant Land Nettle from which you make Speed Potions. 3/3 is not a must but you can plant even more Land Nettle)
Carpentry: x/4 (you will need some point's in here to place repair statue in your safe zone. Not sure how many though 2/4 - 3/4)
Trapping: 3/3 (I had just 1/3 but I see potential in this skill. More point's allows you to place traps without losing your action during combat. Each point gives a chance of 20%. Maxed is 60% chance for free placed trap)
Pick Locks: 1/3 (without this you wont be able to open any locked chest, grab one point no more needed)
Hunting: 0/4 , 1/4 (At first I planned to have archer with some pet but then it was too tedious to keep it alive, it have helped me at first few hours but then I even didn't summoned it. Plus you will use Speed Potions and your pet won't gona keep your pace and you will lose it from your sight after 5 sec. So pick it if you feel a need of some help until you get bit more stronger)

Stat training (15/15 that's a max base for each stat you can go above that with items)
1.Max Dex
2.Follow up with Str
Done. You don't need vit as most enemis fight in close combat and you will shoot them from a far, you will get few points from gear. Int/Wis not needed.



How to play it? :
Walking speed is the most annoying part in this game so Speed Potions is a must have.

To avoid this annoyance you have to run your own private Land Nettle productions. Place asap one or even two pig pens to produce manure. Get some Land Nettle seeds, plant them on every single avaliable spot in your farm. Water&Manure whenever needed. Make as much Speed pots as you can from custom recipe (14 Land Nettle 1 empty bottle = 420 speed turns)

Arrows supply:
To keep your archer good flow, buy every single arrow, iron ore and iron bars you spotted from NPC's.
Don't bother mining iron if there is no need, focus on buying it and smelting = make a lot of arrows.

With time passing NPC's arrows/iron supply will be renewed.

Shoot & Run tactic if it comes to fighting, you can finish of enemies with dagger at close range. Use all avaliable skill you got.

Keep all fire arrows you find/buy for Golems. That's the only way you will be able to harm them. Fire/Ice traps can help too.
If you find yourself having problem killing them or run out of fire arrows just sneak past them (speed pot + larva pot) You don't need to kill everything.

That's it for today, good luck archer.
