I don't grind stats, I am a filthy casual. These took me about 2 weeks to obtain in my casual ways. I am able to kill foxes, badger, boar and wolverine.
The arrows I use seem to cap quality... so basically I am stuck grinding survival to make better arrows.
This is the life of an archer. I can not even think about hunting any bigger game since the damage goes from about 100 a shot on animals mentioned above to something like 15 per shot on deer.(I know... these armor plated deer are working as intended, but hear me out.)
I will not be using unarmed attacks for anything but luring animals back to me and trapping. This will be my struggle going forward, grind more survival... make better arrows and maybe one day get over this giant gap of damage.
I will use my hilarious tactics shown below to keep killing animals while getting no damage or possibly a knicks and knacks of about 5 dmg. Your extreme nerfing of archery will not keep me from my safe distance killings. Bottom line is, this extreme nerfing isn't working. you might as well take the grind back out of archery and try a different tactic.
my luring of prey to an area the AI cant escape from since I make him flee in the direction away from the exit and then corner him.
my killing shot and 4 knicks and knacks that has healed since typing this.( victory is still mine, even with this terrible damage and pointless capping of quality.)
