Umbar Archers are fearsome bowmen clad in the steel and bronze armor of the Havens. With the infantry of Umbar, these troops stand proudly as the mightiest warriors of the Southrons, and they have never forgotten their long hatred of the Men of Gondor.
Spawning
Umbar Archers can be found in the lands of Umbar and the Umbar Hills. They are mainly found guarding settlements, towns, and fortresses. The archers also wander around the land on patrols. Like the Umbar Soldiers, they defend the line at the edge of Near Harad (Region).
They spawn with Umbaric Armour, sometimes missing the helmet, and wield the infamous Bow of Harad which has a relatively slow draw speed, but does a lot of damage.
Behavior
Umbar Archers guard the lands around the Haven of Umbar, vigilantly defending the towns of their people. If an Umbar Archer spots an enemy NPC or player, they will immediately loose arrows upon their foe. You will escape the hail of arrows flying at you at around 30 blocks away.
Hiring
These archers can be hired from an Umbar Captain within a stronghold in Umbar starting at around 200+ alignment with Near Harad, this process will cost about 30 coins and cost less as you increase and pledge to Near Harad, you can also buy a warhorn for these units for 2000 coins, but only if you have 1500+ alignment.
Drops
The Umbar archer can be killed and it can drop a variety of items, the most common of which is bones as most enemies. On occasion they may drop some food or a drink, and maybe an empty cup/mug, other miscellaneous items include things like paper, leather, arrows, etc. The rarest item drop for the Umbar archers can be either a piece of their armor, or their bow. They also provide +1 alignment for factions against Harad if killed.
