why havent you invested the coins to make them infused with mithril infusion, 10% bonus speed is just being missed by your setup, also do you have a beacon with scorched power crystals going?
sell Artisanal Shortbows on ah for some reason people buy them at thousands of coins and you can do it right at the beginning of the game. I am in a co-op and we got an AOTE within the first 4 hours of playing, and the next day (today) we got 2 more for everyone else. Yes, I started the co-op yesterday.
