Good ARC Secondary Skills?

im a lv. 12 archer. i was wondering what are good secondary skills i can use to make my own bows???

The way it's set up now you'll need to dabble in pretty much all of them at some point in time -- Carpentry, Blacksmith, Alchemy, Armorer, weaver.... Definitely Carpentry as a main secondary skill, but I used a bow I bought till I obtained an NM bow.

However, since they're again changing and adjusting synthesis and materia etc it may all change after next update, especially with recipe changes.

well carpenter is good secondary huh. i probably can get a basic saw at guild. as for my 3rd no idea

so like arc/carpenter/armor and for materials i supse i could buy

Carpentry, Botany, and Blacksmith are good to have, even if you can't make a high level bow, you can still craft arrows for yourself.

maby i hould wait n see how things new skills end up huh

is it possible to buy ingredients and just get carpenter and armor???

Honestly, you could, but it's significantly cheaper to use either Botany or local leves to get your materials. That said, if you're really only concerned with Archer, I'd personally recommend the following classes:

Archer (obviously)
Carpenter (makes most of your bows and arrows)
Blacksmith (instead of Armorer, mostly because Blacksmith can make tools for Carpenter and ingots for bows/arrows)
Botany (if you want to save money while grinding Carpenter)
Mining (if you want to save money while leveling Blacksmith)

Now, as I mentioned earlier, Local Leves are a nice source of free experience for your crafting classes, and they also reward some base materials if you don't want to level Botany and Mining. The only thing is, sometimes it's a lot faster to use your own materials to grind something separate from leves. For that, you'd have to either farm the materials yourself or buy them from the Market Wards or NPCs.
