After getting my amazing bow...I decided to travel back to Kunark for some adventure.
I wasn't quite sure where to go, but stumbled across a cave of yetis when I arrived and figured it would be a good enough place to start. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The thing is, yetis are sometimes bigger than they first appear.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But it was no problem!! Against an elvish archer with the legendary dragons bow, the Skydarkener, they stood no chance!! I stayed hunting in the caves for a day or so, eventually finding them too easy to fight. So I traveled to the Karnors Castle to try and hunt there! I had seen people hunting around there and figured it would be a good spot for me too. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Turns out I was right!! And hunting around the castle was perfect for me! The only problem was the field was crawling with monsters! Spiders being the most dangerous....but I'd been lucky and avoided them. Except for one time when I was saving a lost traveler named Sirken from some brutes. I stopped the brute, but then had to retreat...leaving him behind. My best guess is he was eaten by spiders. After that I went back to hunting.... That was until one night after having hunted for a while, I foolishly let my guard down while finding a new target to shoot...and somehow I was ambushed by several creatures!!!! How could this happen!? Luckily though, none were spiders.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It looked like it was time to show them the power of an elvish archer!!! But 4 of them? I'd never tried to fight so many at once.....then again, I'd never wielded a legendary dragons bow before either!!! As I shot arrow after arrow, the sky slowly darkened...and then suddenly lightning bolt after lightning bolt strike the group of enemies!!! Was this the true power of this bow?! Able to bring down lightning on groups of enemies?! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] The battle waged for a while, but my elvish speed was too much for them to keep up with! Combined with my legendary power, they were helpless! I think tonight was a new milestone....able to fight groups of enemies at once!! I'd never heard of an archer like that before.....was I....the first? I would have to practice and become a master of this new fighting technique to learn the true extent of its strength. After the battle I was running out of arrows though and decided to head back to Firiona Vie to restock on arrows. They knew me pretty well from all the time I had spent defending them before, it almost felt like a 2nd home besides Kelethin. Though...as I approached Firiona Vie...I noticed something strange.....it was a group of people? Were they new to the city? There were so many of them! Just standing in the rain! I was curious... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] As I got close...I saw they were doing strange rituals.....what was happening?! Half of them held fishing poles, and they were speaking gibberish! Was this a cult?! I'm pretty sure it was a cult. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I had to find out what was happening!!! So I stayed....and observed their strange rituals... Eventually I found out their true identity!!! It was the <Dial a Port> guild! ..... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] I think they are after me....I know too much..... gobble gobble gobble. | ||

So the guild is for people who use archery as a main way to play on their characters. It isn't required to use all the time, but it should be one of the major tools they use. From just number crunching, it seems like ranger is one of the only ones able to keep their archery effective (especially higher level as they get double damage at 51, and then trueshot later). In theory, a shadow knight archer could be interesting (especially if they found a decent bow). I could see them being pretty effective to solo with till 50...but then a big drop-off in power after that compared to rangers (though, still, I bet their pet could fill in some of the gaps). Still...no other class can go trueshot + double damage + crits + DD spells and actually rise to an impressive archery display at higher levels! Like just at level 52, a ranger archer can cast a 302dd between shots, stack 36 damage a tick dots, and reliably shoot for an average 100 damage in a group setting.....and 184 dd proc (if they have legendary dragon bows!)......that is pretty strong!!! ((And gets even stronger once they get Trueshot and can go full power mode! Leaving other classes in the dust in archery). If they run low on mana, they are also able to slow down on casts and med between shots instead. That is why ranger archer works, they are the best with a bow (double damage and higher skill cap and crits)....but they also have a host of spells that match perfectly with the longer delay on a bow that is almost like a 2nd attack (so they don't lose attack rounds to casting). Other classes just can't do the same things from ranged using bows to fill in the gaps in their damage (except shadow knight, but they have some big problems in terms of skill caps and other vulnerabilities....still, it is something that MIGHT be possible). Being an archer isn't just shootin with a bow. That is only part of it. | |||

Now that I had finally reached level 49....I returned home to Kelethin to learn more elvish magic.....and there, I discovered new amazing powers!! Such as being able to turn into a wolf!!!!!
Though I was happy with my new abilities.... while I was studying I heard rumors of a legendary spell....a fire arrow, stronger than anything I had! Even mightier than my dragons bow lightning!! It was known as, "the call of flame". I learnt that the only person who knew the spell was a ranger known as Ganelorn Oast. I'd never met him before, but some of the other rangers in the elvish hall knew all about him and wanted to learn it from him too.... I had to have it first!! They said he lived in East Karana....so I quickly left Kelethin, making sure none of the other rangers saw me, and began my next adventure! Karana sure had become strange though.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] When I finally found Ganelorn, it turned out other rangers had already gotten to him!! And to make things worse....he wanted me to help get things to help train them!! Oh well, if it is what would get me closer to the call of flame....I agreed.... First on my list was the fabled Electrum-Bladed Wakizashi from a dark elf in Mistmoore. It didn't take me long to find him, sneaking around the castle with my new spells. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] It turned out he was there to kill his parents!! Because they kicked him out of the castle!! Seemed a little extreme..... but if that is what he wanted done for the Wakizashi....I guess I could shoot some vampires -shrug- That is when another ranger showed up!! Obviously sent here by Ganelorn too!!! Competition!!!!!! Woolyspider Silknet.... hmmm... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] But, the castle was a pretty dangerous place....so we agreed to team up and share the vampire teeth. Maybe the crazy dark elf had a second weapon laying around. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] We hunted in the castle for a while....doing ranger things and wolf things.... [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] And, of course, both using our bows! As true rangers should!!! I even found as a wolf I was still a pretty good archer -flex- Maybe a little too good.....as we soon noticed our arrows were starting to pierce the stone walls!!!!! "You missed....." "I didn't miss!! You missed!!!" [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Oh well, after a while in the castle we had found and killed the weird dark elves parents...and got their teeth. Except we were short one and Wooly gave me an extra tooth, so we might have to go back again sometime. End of the day, mission was accomplished!! I was one piece closer to proving myself to Ganelorn!! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Though I also learnt other rangers were close behind ....I had to hurry!! 2 pieces left! | ||

I thought about parsing....but 1 ) I don't want to make all other classes feel bad as they try to compare themselves to the power of archery!!! and 2 ) I don't know how to use a parser -blushes- | |||

Thanks again for your help tonight, Rosen! The sky darkening power of your archery scared General V'ghera so much he practically threw that Cazic Quill at us in his mad dash to get away, but we weren't about to let him buy us off like that!
