i got my archer to lv 38 but i didnt realy know what i was doing at all with the str and dex stuff lol
but i think its best not to waste all your money on enhancing your Wepons
cus trust me i wasted all my money and ended up with the original lv 15 bow Lol
you should spend it on skills and new atacks
ps you should buy every skill avalible at the time

dude my advie to u is go str till u get to lvl 25 then right after go spr but when u reached 4% of crit on ur stats dont put anymore stat points coz u will only gain .1 of each points so ir will be a waste i recommend after u get 4% crit go back to pure str for faster killing and leveling and crits are low chance of applying to each attacks so at lvl 1 to 25 go str so that u will do more damage than crits do then 25+ go spr for crits to make u even stronger sorry if i reapeted my self hehe or just pm me if u need advixe 3L3M3NT0

5%, not 4% (or more simple, it's nerfed after you add 25 points (from 0.2 -> 0.1 crit% per point)

Archer dun really nid dex unless u wan to use crossbow which gives lesser accuracy. IMO, i dun tink its needed to add dex since they will auto add quite alot for u after u lvl UNLESS u really wan 0 miss or lesser miss.

Regular bow would give more accurate, and fast shots so you shouldn't really need too much dexterity.
Cross bow however, is a bit slower and less accurate so dex would be needed more than with a bow.
Either way, the main stats you'll need are str, dex and maybe spr, but only 25 spr.

I don't really think DEX is needed at all like some said above since your DEX with be naturally high from normal leveling. STR and SPR should be concentrated on more. I was tihnking of 25 SPR then 1:1 SPR/STR, but after hearing from others I heard that adding 10-15 END can really be useful. So I'm also going to recommend adding some END if you feel it is necessary.
Hope that helps some.
EDIT: Also I'd like to add that I have never tried this build out personally. I can't say for sure if this would be the best way to go.
Builds also rely on your own personal preferences. Although I think this builds is awesome and I planned on trying it, I think I might lean on SPR more than STR.

I'm continuously contradicting myself, lmao
All SPR until SPR is 25, then 2:3:5 STR/SPR/DEX.

That's when you know the game has very good balance between stats.

Or I could be forcing different stat builds on people and seeing who levels the fastest. >:D
To be honest though it's because I'm still experimenting. I know that all-SPR to SPR = 25 is a good build, I just don't know what to do after. Dodging is useful, but it'll take too long after lv20 to build up. Hitting power is always a bonus, but I hear it drops off in the end. I think I might do a 5:3:2 STR/SPR/DEX build. It's the only one that's been in my head for more than 3 hours lmao

So like if you go full SPR until it's 25 then go on to adding DEX it would be favorable to use the Crossbow since it has a lower accuracy but higher critical rate than the bow. That would mean that you would have enough SP to spam skills and kill the monster before it even reaches you.
Then even if it does reach you, it is more likely to miss than hit you with your high dodge rate from DEX. At least that's what I'm thinking.

If you plan to add both Spr and Str, add the Str FIRST. Crits only shine later on when your weapon damage is high enough. Early on a static modifier on your damage is way better. So Str til you're lvl 20 and then add 25 Spr. After that, go whatever you want.
But everyone knows that a Spr/Str build is gey ;)

Eh, I'd go with SPR first because either way a critical hit is 2x your damage - when it says "Increases damage and bonus damage" it really means "Increases base damage and we're going to say bonus damage too since either way when you increase base damage and crits are 2x normal, it should logically increase crit damage too".
Besides, I'd prefer being level 20 with 25 SPR than level 45 with 25 SPR. It takes a while to get from 20-30, and probably longer to get from 30-45.
But yeah, spr/str builds suck. Don't do it. Sssssh. ;D
