Arrows are cheap. I have a solo Archer and I bought most of my arrows. Strongarm( Longbow) from Ribald in the Adventurer's Mart, is the most damaging bow in the game. Heartseeker, is the most accurate.

When you reach level 12, remember to use Call Shot as well, as it will add 2 damage to your hits.

My average damage per hit now is,

9-14, excluding kit bonuses.

15-19, with kit bonuses.

17-21, with Call Shot.

Acid Arrows are very good against Stoneskinned Mages by the way. You should keep them for enemy Mages.

Use Normal Arrows as often as you can. Only use enchanted arrows if the target is immuned to Normal Arrows.

+2 Arrows should be horded, as they work against Stone Golems and Vampires.

Short Bow of Gesen and Tansheron's Bow have +3 enchanted phantom arrows. So Grandmaster in Longbows and put some points in Short Bows.

Arrows of Piercing rock against Shadows, Mummies, Skeleton Warriors, etc... The bonus +6 damage helps balance the fact that they have damage resistance.

Ice Arrows are good against Fire-Immuned enemies, the opposite is true for Fire Arrows.

Arrows of Dispelling are expensive, so only buy them if you are feeling rich. Use them against Mages to try and dispel their protections.

Arrows of Biting work well against Dragons.
