Getting Started as an Archer in Rune Slayer

If you're a seasoned archer, feel free to skip ahead. For newcomers, here's the lowdown: Archers thrive by maintaining a safe distance from enemies, letting their arrows do the talking. While they can dish out significant damage, they're not built to take hits well.

Archers don medium armor, which offers a balance between protection and mobility, but lacks the defensive spells of Light armor classes like Magicians or Priests. Instead, Archers depend on others to absorb damage, particularly their Pets.

Tamed Pets are crucial for Archers. Initially, your pet options might be limited, but as you progress, you'll unlock a variety of unique pets, enhancing your class's versatility and power.

How to Get Beast Tamer in Rune Slayer

At Level 30, Archers can choose between two subclasses: Sharpshooter or Beast Tamer. Opt for Beast Tamer without hesitation. The allure of firing multiple arrows as a Sharpshooter might be tempting, but the Beast Tamer's Alpha Predator passive ability is a game-changer. It allows you to tame exclusive beasts like Bears, Adult Spiders, Crocodiles, and the coveted Mud Crabs, making Beast Tamers exceptionally resilient and capable of soloing many group activities.

You can craft the entire Elder set using parts from the Elder Treant raid boss. Don't be intimidated by its size; join a group or a Discord guild to tackle this giant tree. As an Archer, you'll find it manageable to deal damage and survive, especially with a robust Beast Tamer pet.
