I've found hunting hiryus, lesser hiryus and elite ninjas at the Isamu-Jima Moongate with 91 archery is decent gain, money and items. I can't really hold my own against caster mobs yet (yay 72 resist which i have to still find a decent way to work up), but i enjoy the hiryus and the items, but was wondering if there are any other high end mobs that drop between 1000-2000 gold, magic items and are pure melee?

Yes, its a narrow request, but i've gotta try.

And also, for any archers and/or paladins out there, what is better:

more dex or more int? Currently im:
Str 120, Dex~60, Int~60

chance to hit increase, damage increase, or archery incrase (currently im 91)

Also, i my template is:

Archery
Anatomy
Healing
Tactics
Resist
Chivalry

Reccomendations on a 7th? considering focus, but i can get 4-5 mana regen in items i figure and get another better more compatable and complementary skill if one exists.

And how the heck do you use special attacks? someone have a link that explains it?

Thanks for all of the help, been a long time since i last played

To use special attacks, at least, the simplest way, is to double click the purplish colour book in your paperdoll area, then drag the two icons out onto your desktop area, then double click either one to activate the special move
You can also tie a macro key to either move (primary or secondary)
As for what to kill hrmm
If you get yourself a good dragon slaying bow and have chiv to boot, i'd recommend white wyrms personally
They have a high loot intensity rating and drop (from memory) about 1.5-2k?

Forgot to add, white wyrms ARE magical, but there's an uber long tunnel area you can run back and forth down while you fire arrows at it
My old technique was to fire an arrow, run, come back, fire, run, come back fire, etc

I would go with higher dex and lower str and int.. right now im running 95 str, 55 int and and 110 dex.. it makes your heals quicker and I think it effects your swing speed.. (or in this case your shooting speed).. but im not entirely sure aout that....

Dex does increase swing speed. it is important for an archer. I have an archer mage with about 75 chivalry, just enough to cast enemy of one and noble sacrifice if i have to. the ability to cast Earthies and EVs to keep my prey occupied while i plink at them with arrows or bolts is most effective. I've eaten a 25 stat scroll, so i have pretty high stats in about everything, but dex first, then int, then str.
