Arrows of Detonation, AFAIK, are not available in the original game except as a lucky drop, so I suspect it's a matter of your mods, SoS. BTW, does it and GDB (ToB HLA) work the same way as Fireseeds?

Which leads into melee weapons. #1: Boots of Speed. #2: Staff of Air. #3: Ring of Regeneration. As soon as you have those weapons, you're set. Boots of Speed gives you a boost to allow for some hit-and-runs. Staff of Air gives you a minion (something very useful and not exactly common, unless you want to use [Improved] Kitthix) and a decent +2 weapon. Ring of Regeneration and Boots of Speed combine to make you unkillable in a large area, as you can indefinately run away from the enemy while you regain health. Of course, it's very tedious, but sometimes, when the battle's really hard and you have one ranged enemy left and only 2 HP, you just don't want to have to do it all over again.

However, I would really suggest that you take Short Bows (Bow of Gesen and Tuigan Bow both being quite nice). Staves and Long/Short sword wouldn't be bad either. There's a nice Short Sword that gives +1 to ApR, which would be useful if you want to dual-wield in the face of many enemies. In fact, with that Sword (or Belm), Gloves of Extraodinary Specilization, and level 13 as an Archer, if I don't miss my guess, you'll hit 4.5(!) ApR. Even without the Gloves, which aren't exactly a walk-in-the-park for a solo Archer, 4 ApR isn't bad at all. Add in a strength-enhancing Belt, and you won't mind being in melee nearly so much.
