Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

If you're a seasoned archer, feel free to skip ahead. For newcomers, mastering the Archer class involves **maintaining a safe distance from your enemies and letting your arrows do the talking**. While Archers excel at dealing damage, they are less resilient when it comes to taking hits.

Archers wear **Medium armor**, which offers more protection than Light armor but less than Heavy armor. Unlike their Light armor-wearing counterparts, Archers lack protective spells or heavy armor, relying instead on **team members and their Pets to absorb damage**. **Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers**, and while your initial pet options are limited, you'll eventually gain access to unique pets, enhancing your class's versatility and power.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At **Level 30**, Archers, like all classes in *Rune Slayer*, can choose a subclass. Opt for **Beast Tamer** over Sharpshooter. The allure of firing multiple arrows is tempting, but the **Alpha Predator passive ability** available to Beast Tamers is unmatched. This ability lets you tame unique creatures such as Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and especially **Mud Crabs**, making Beast Tamers exceptionally resilient and capable of soloing many group activities.

Best Early Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

As you approach the maximum level, equip yourself with the **Elder set** and the **Troll Tusk Bow**, a potential drop from the Hill Troll.

Craft the Elder set using parts from the Elder Treant raid boss. Join a group or a Discord guild to tackle this challenge; as an Archer, you'll deal significant damage and survive with the help of a good Beast Tamer pet.

Best Late Endgame Armor and Weapon for Archers

At max level, join the **Demon Sect** and start eliminating players from the opposing faction to earn the **Stalker armor set**. Accumulate a significant amount of gold for these purchases.

While working on your standing, tackle **Amphitheres** in Greatwood Forest for a chance to obtain **Vermilion**, the best bow in *Rune Slayer*.
