Re: Archery questions
I suppose you mean with a wood bow, then i would recommend Q30 bow, Q30 arrows and 60 marksmanship at least. 10 Per is OK but you will sometimes do low damage. You can hunt with lower MM skill though but it takes ages to aim.
It's pretty much the same for every animal. Except deer. They heal up unless you one-hit them.
Don't know if you can shoot dragonflies, why would you want to do that anyway?

Re: Archery questions
you can hit at 1mm, the thing is that it takes FOREVER to charge up a aim, at low mm you cant even charge more then 20% orso. at 40mm you can charge up most of the aim in a decent amount of time. the fullness of the aim bar decides your chance to hit.

Re: Archery questions
Replies are spot on. I've bagged a few boars from my boat with a sling. Right now, my MM is 13; it needs to be higher so I don't have to park practically in front of Mr. Pig to peg him with rocks.
13MM, btw, is enough to charge up to approximately 65-70%, even with the target 'twitching' on shore. But it does take a while.

Re: Archery questions
Stop studying cone cows. Buy up exploration and survival. The more the better. Raid a swamp to catch dragon flies. Raid anthills for quick gains -- soldiers, queens, and empresses are great lp. Lady bugs are also decent but not reliable. When you can, scour for floatsm in rivers and lakes. Bark boats aren't bad, make those too. If you only have ~1 more attention left, grab a dandelion from a grassland/heath/moor and study it. If you have ~2 left, grab an ant soldier and study it. 3 or more means you need to make/find more curiosities.homsikpanda wrote:also can you suggest ways to increase my learning points faster? right now i've just studying cone cows and a few stray items i find like dandilions and ant queens
