The 'Colored Arrow' mod from the Nexus is very useful for this. Make sure you get far enough in so you head is just above the water level. In that area find a isolated townsperson to knock out and drag there body to the river. Just west of the Miller you first meet is a tanner.
You *can* retrieve missed arrows from the ground if you can find them again (and if they don't break). This will quickly level a lot of skills, warfare, strength, unarmed, agility, vitality. Alternatively, you can either sneak up on rabbits - be Vewy Vewy Quiet and take off your armor! - and dab them at close range, which will also raise Hunting and Stealth, or you can shoot at cows or other farm animals for easy skill-ups, but may run into legal problems if you're caught. The 'Chumps' archery game in Ledetchko is one good way to raise skill, since you shoot at moving targets, but it involves a lot of long range shooting so can be challenging without a longbow. I have some advice on this in my Steam guide in the Guides section ('Tips, Tricks, Strategies,') but basically, go hunting, and do the Chumps contest in letchetcko.Īlso, be sure to turn on the archery reticle with the console.īow skill is hard to raise without getting in some kind of trouble shooting at static archery targets by itself will not raise your skill much, though you can score minor gains from winning archery contests.
