Archer/Hunter Loot Running Build for Archer

Hi, I've never done a lootrun before but now since I'm kind of broke, I would like to get some ideas for LRing builds. I have a budget of 20-25 le and I need help making a good build.

 

20-25 isn't sufficient for a full loot quality set, so your best bet is to maximize your lq per le spent. i'd split that budget between crafted lq pants and crafted lq boots, then throw together whatever loot bonus or walk speed you can after that. from my experience, 150 durability will last you for a single 30-minute area; you can work with higher numbers if you plan to run longer routes.

don't worry too much about health/damage as long as you can do the route you run consistently. i normally run with ~6k hp, but you might need more for harder areas like silent expanse.

 

20-25 le is not enough for a efficient lq armor set but aim to hit 40LQ and 80LB with as few pieces possible given your budget.
im not so experience with archer lr build but i can give u some ideas. swap accessories for ws if u hit 40 lq (ws>mr for archer lr), with a ok lb roll diamond dust and crafted lb/lq armor u should can hit 80 lb with no problem.
Gale's sight/Cumulonimbus (for ws)
Diamond Dust (for lb)
Crafted lb/lq leggings (lb mean loot bonus and lq means loot quality)
Crafted lb/lq boots
Crafted lq ring (swap to ws ring (e.g. Kaze) if u hit 40 lq)
Crafted lq ring (swap to ws ring if u hit 40 lq)
double vision (necessary bc archer cant cancel fall dmg with movement spell unless u cast escape perfectly, so dvision's major id Lightweight can help a lot here. it also provide jump height to move around some places easier)
Crafted lq necklaces (swap to ws necklaces (e.g. contrast/Necklace of a Thousand Storms) if u hit 40 lq)
Gale's force (for ws, if ur rich u can use Stratiformis)
Wybel Fluff Bow/ crafted lb bow to open chest (higher lb)
leave a reply here if u have any question.

 

thanks for the advice. just a few comments from the perspective of an experienced archer runner:

if you can afford a full accessory set, then you can free up the boot slot for seven-league boots instead. seven-league boots also has lightweight, but doesn't have jump height.

i prefer zero jh specifically because it's faster. jh increases your air time every time you jump a 1 block ledge; you generally want to stay grounded in order to make use of your high speed. it also helps archer less compared to other classes since archer already has great vertical movement in escape.

return to ether is a valid consideration for its side stats. mana regen and water damage matter for killing mobs, depending on how important this is in your run. agility mitigates hitstun problems, especially in areas like sky islands.

keep in mind that loot bonus has diminishing returns, so the bow might not matter much. you should make a personal decision on whether it's worth losing an inventory slot.

gale's sight is less of a staple for archer, since unlike mage you rarely spam your movement spell. cumulonimbus makes sense. i'd also recommend phoenix prince's crown for survivability and built-in recovery, so you don't need to lose an inventory slot to potions.

 

Thanks of letting me know, I also wanna try lr with archer when it hit 105 (currently using mage but I got annoyed by lag so much)
but about the lr gear part, will it required perfect rolls on accessories if just use accessories to hit 40 lq?
It will be so expensive if like so because a perfect roll one on tm can be expensive or you need so many crafts to gamble for the perfect roll
Also can you hit 80 lb without crafted gear and just using diamond dust or lb bow? It will also be expensive
And is a inventory slot really that important for lr? The range of may-worth items are actually very small and only tier 4 powders and mythic are worth taking, these don't take up much slot

 

just using accessories to hit 40lq is pretty expensive, yes. getting 10lq requires a perfect roll on the budget recipe, or a good roll on the expensive recipe (2 lunar charms + t3 mats)

im not sure what you mean by your lb question, are you talking about using non crafted lb armor? if so then there's plenty of items that give a lot - i would strongly recommend buying lq armor though

an inventory slot is not that valuable at all, no. there's no real reason to forego an lb weapon, it's additional lb at basically no detriment

regarding helmets, third eye is also a good choice to better deal with combat sections - relevant if you plan to run SE

 

i pick up lower-value items like morph-stardust. if this is your goal, then inventory slots are indeed irrelevant.

 

does this look like a good buy?

What does durability mean? I bought 2 rings and they have 1/1 durability, does that mean they will break after I die or something?

 

unless prices dropped at some point, yes.

durability degrades when you move or take damage. if it's 1/1, then it will do so immediately, making it effectively worthless.
