Bonemass was tough for myself and my husband. We used iron maces on him so the battle wouldn't take so long as videos I saw where players used their bows on him. We worked together to deal with spawned blobs and a few random enemies who showed up for the fight while the other whacked away at Bonemass.

We have only now found out where Moder is located, but it would seem (from what I've read) that the next 2 will be easier to beat with the bow.

I hate that silly leveling.....I walk my camp every night getting bird, boars and deer. Level the skill by using it.
That said, i put in suggestions that the ability to build an archery target would be cool.

I completely agree. If I want to improve bow, blocking or various weapon skills, I go out at night and start hunting down the mobs. It's fun and any unwanted loot can be tossed off the end of a dock.

I would feel so bored of repeatedly hitting or shooting a rock. No judgement to anyone who does it.
