I've managed to get Archery skill to about 197, but at this point it sort of feels like I've hit a bit of a roadblock (even using proper food). When I go to a place like Boyahda Tree I can't seem to get consistent skill ups from any of the mobs (first or second floor).

Any suggestions for the 197+ Archery skilling?

Addendum to that, Use Sleep Arrows. Costs a little more but you can solo skill ups painlessly using sleep ammo on Abby uleguerand worms all the way to the 99 cap. Pile on Racc gear and eat skill up food. Sleep Bolts and Sleep Arrows all the way.

Dont even need sleep arrows, just /dnc and put on Mounted Champion and Sea Daughter. Grab your Loxley and ~20 stacks of wood arrows from NPC.

This is pretty much what I did with a loxley bow and regen atmas+pdt/eva set on single Aby-uleguerand satellites.
15 stacks sounds about what I used to cap skill starting at 200ish, I was using my recycle gear (libeccio/af2+2 hat).
I used sushi instead of skillup food and it took a couple hours.
I did satellites instead of worms out of habit cause I usually do those for dom-ops.

Don't forget to barrage since each arrow in the barrage gives you a skillup chance.

Plus sleep ammo is such low dmg you can just make a macro to /ra 200 times then afk. Worm in ulegrande with die at about 150 sleep arrows/bolts

Wait, how?

So I very much appreciated all the advice, I just managed to get my loxley bow this morning, and had empyrean ranger gear all to +1 (aside from the boots), so I actually feel I'm in a better state to continue skilling right now.

My archery skill is around 265, so wasn't sure if anyone had any suggested enemies for when I hit certain skill ratings.

If you mean "How do you make a macro to do that?" the answer is windower macros or spellcast.

My archery skill is uncapped. Just get it high enough to land procs and call it good.

Only semi-joking.
