Full Build Details
You're gonna explode your enemies with few pistols at high speed! The goal of this build is to kill the enemies the fastest possible without taking any damage and by using almost only pistols because it's elegant. We don't play bow here, we play PISTOLS! I advise you choose the Sorobor Academy to get more speed and more pouch capacity but choose the Heroic Kingdom can also be a good option to get +15% on all damage (I also choose the Sorobor Academy in order to get a house at Harmattan and travel easier between different regions, and explore the Antique Plateau region as well).
To be more precise, this build repose on your high speed to setup a sigil of wind after used your boons and food to get STRONGER, and next dodge the enemies to concatenate shoots with all your pistols until all enemies are dead.
You have some physical resistances and protection, some elemental resistances, high speed, and you're allowed to dodge unimpeded even when wearing your backpack, so you'll can tank at least one attack of any bosses and next run until you can shoot safely or heal you with the blood bullet quickly. But be careful against the arena bosses. Indeed, in the nature, you will destroy everybody but against arena bosses, you will... dance. Use the sigil of wind DIRECTLY, and next use your guns like I described it above. When you arrive to the horror pistols shoot stage, you'll need in the worst case 10 bullets, so I advise you bring simply 10 horror guns (they weight only 1kg) in order to kill the boss quickly (he will fall next every lightning bullet if you started like I wrote it because he will be confused and you'll have rage).

Build Order
- Handle your debt.
- Buy a mace.
- Sleep 3 days to reset the merchants stuffs until you can buy the master trader boots and garb at the Soroborean Caravanner of Cierzo, as well as some pistols (and obsidian shard if you find to make an obsidian pistol).
- Farm the Pearlbird Mask (there is few tutos on YouTube don't worry) to get early movement speed bonus.
- Go see the Cabal Hermit to unlock the very important Sigil of Wind skill after made many gold at Cierzo (tutos on YouTube don't worry).
- Now you're already pretty powerfull with your lighting bullet, even with basic pistols, but you still need better pistols, so craft some obsidian pistols like I wrote it above, or go to Levant to buy Cannon Pistol and make the quest "Blood under the sun" after joined a faction in order to buy the chimera pistol.
- To upgrade the rest of your equipement, you can kill The First Cannibal to get the Skycrown Mace at the Face of the Ancients in Enmerkar Forest (that's also where you can find the famous Light Mender's Lexicon).
- For the chest, you can buy the runic armor at Berg very early in the game BUT, without enchantments, I think it will be a pain in the ass because of the movement speed reduction. But if you think it's worth, you still can do it.
- You'll need to go to Harmattan to enchant, but it's an another story (like always, search on YouTube).
- So we saw that your boots are great even at the beginning (juste flux enchantment missing), but for the helmet, you'll need to go to Levant to craft it.
- And like for the chest, I advise you wait for be able to enchant because don't forget that pistol is king and speed is queen.
- Now, you know exactly how to handle your new game in the way of PISTOLS my friend. Join the Pistols rebellion against bow's fanatics.
