Crowley is the best mid . along with Swifty <| sep |> Okay if you ' d like input then my suggestion to you is to make Iron daggers and Hide helmets if you cannot make jewellery . They require low resources that are easy to find and while they won ' t sell for much it will still level Blacksmithing . Of course you could increase speech by selling the abundance you make , or you could level enchanting by obviously enchanting each helmetdagger and then level speech by selling said items since they will be of higher value . <| sep |> This gets asked so often that it just about needs to be in the FAQ but . The fact is that the muscles used in archery are generally underdeveloped for most people . A bow that you can barely pull at first will be laughably easy after a few months of practice . Join a club , try a few different bow types out , practice a lot and THEN buy a bow . You ' ll be in a better position to understand what you want to do in archery and you ' ll be physically equipped to handle whatever you buy . However if you ' re really keen to get something and just start flinging arrows power to you . I ' d recommend either a recurve or a compound that is very adjustable . Recurves will suit a wider range of body types as long as the poundage is suitable for your frame . Compounds however need to be adjusted and tailored to match your exact size and shape . They ' re a little unforgiving that way .
