Judging that most the population in Lineage 2 are below 30 I will expand Archers Guide later on.

Well before you gain any uber archer skills, your just a figher, and from my experience so far I recommend using more than your bow to take out mobs.

here are some tips for lvls 10-20
1) I like to power shot a mob, then let him run over to me and i trash him with a sword. The targets i can take out in one hit just take too long to level up past lvl 10, so the combo works faster to hit bigger mobs and gain more XP. Your MP will drain faster but, the power shot will knock out at least half of your enemies HP, then the sword will do the rest, buying you some time to rebuild the MP. I just hate shooting and running, then shooting and running. With some decent armor (wood, you can take a beating, while efficiently killing monsters).

2) On the note of using more then your bow in early levels, the SOS quest is a decent way to make some $ and get a good sword. I recomend holding off till around lvl 11 or 12 for SOS, by that time you have some skills set up and some money. I would then upgrade your small sword you've been using to dish out those combo, and buy a using SOS sword from someone finished with the quest (rent to own). On your way off to the dungeon go to the training room, and talk to the female trainer (Minia or something like that) and take your arrowhead quest. You might as well be killing to birds.
Once in the ruins, go to the first room on the left. It's easy, all passive, and they spawn in the same spot over and over again. Now camp on the ORC snippers, they will eventually give you the sword peices and arrowheads. It took me about 30mins to get the sword and 10 arrow heads. Go back to town, sell your second SOS, and cash in the arrow heads. Now you have a nice sword for your bow combos and a little extra money.
Then just save up and level up for a better bow, and if you haven't played yet, at least below lvl20 you can get all the skills with the SP given, and after 20 is when get specific, so use them all on your path to archer or whatever.

true what i like to do is get lvl 10 Mortal Blow if i am playing a D.e and a half decent Dagger so if i need a quick half hp hit i switch to dagger ^.^

level 25 i found out that the leeches at cruma tower are camped 24/7 and it takes a while to find one so this is a bad choise....

any other suggestions? i am looking for one...

I'm soloing these at 16 as a mage, fun stuff, and I love seeing the 42sp, now if I could just figure out a macro =p

Ya leeches are great ^.^ and if you know how to train in Cruma you can get around the Campedness as long as its not that bad. When ever i train i have a constant spawn
