Bowman Guide


A Guide for Bowmen

Warning: This guide has pictures, but is not made fun. It is information only. You will get lots of information, though.

When starting your character, keep your Luck and Intelligence at a four or a five, and your Strength and Dexterity as high as possible. For clothing, I have never done a female character as a bowman, but what I can suggest from my experience with male bowmen, what I suggest is bet clothes that cover your body more (for example, rubber boots over leather sandals). Your hairstyle does not matter. In that category you can do what looks good.

This guide is not only to help you get your bowman, but to get you to bowman fast. So, go to the training camp, and do what you need to there, all the quests and talk to Roger, but get out of there as fast as possible. It doesn’t help training on weaker monsters such as the tutorial Leattys and Drum Bunnies. Get out of there and train on snails.

I’m not going to be specific about quests, as bowmen need to have some freedom in training and not be locked into a particular set of instructions. So, do all the quests with every NPC, just when you see them, and involve your training in doing the quests. This is easy on Killing quests. Speaking of which, start on the killing quests as soon as possible (Sam’s Suggestion, Mai’s Training). Otherwise, it’s a waste of time, killing what you need and then having to kill it all over again.

You should be level two or three by the time you leave the Training Camp, so keep killing snails until level five. Each time you level up, make sure your Strength is five more than your level if you plan to be a Hunter for your second job, and equal to your level if you’re going to be a crossbowman. Training on snails, I don’t mean just the pathetic little green ones. Train on Blue Snails, too. Shroooms are also a good thing to kill, given Mai’s Training. Red Snails are one of the harder things to kill on Maple Island. You never have to kill those for a quest, so leave them alone until level 8 or so.

When you get your Skill Points, in any order, maximize Nimble Feet and Recovery. Three Snails is a waste of Skill Points for bowmen, given that once you make the job advancement, your life revolves around Ranged attacks.

When you have to kill Orange Mushrooms, you want to finish this quest as soon as possible, but by the time it’s started, Orange Mushrooms are likely a big threat to you. If they take out more than 15-17, then there is a safe place to train. In The Field West of Amherst, up at the top, there are two long platforms. Orange Mushrooms hang out there a lot. There is a little standing platform in the middle. You can stand there and kill the Mushrooms without getting hit. The Mushrooms can’t jump onto that platform.

Okay, let’s skip some time. You’ve finished all the quests, and you’re ready to go to Victoria Island. Go to Southperry and talk to Shanks. He’ll make you give him 150 mesos, and then he’ll take you to Victoria Island. You’ll be in Lith Harbor. Talk to Olaf there, and do his thing. Regardless of your level, go to all the Lith Harbor hunting grounds. At A Split Road, go all the way to the right, and you’ll be in Henseys area. Keep going right, and you’ll end up in Henseys. You need to be level ten by the time you’re there, so stall in Henseys Hunting Ground One. By now, your Dexterity needs to be 25. Go to the portal under the Mushroom Park sign. In there, go all the way to the right and there’s a tree with a portal. Go in that portal. You’ll find Athena Pearce. Talk to her. Finish Olaf’s quest. Make sure you have more than 300 XP to go. You don’t want to be level 11 when you become a bowman, then you lose 3 Skill Points. So, then when Olaf’s quest is done, talk to her again, and she’ll make you a b owman and all that stuff. Just listen to her from there on out.

Congratulations.

You’re a bowman.

Sniper Guide


 

Intro

Welcome to my Sniper guide. This guide will take you from level 1 to 120. By the time you finish reading this guide you will want to make a crossbowman right now!

Why a Sniper?

Pros

  • Are stronger than hunters.
  • Arguably the best ranged job in the game.
  • Ice Element gives advantage, for there are less ice resistant monsters in game.
  • Mob skill is 180% damage, while Hunter mob is 130%.
  • More DEX than Hunters.

Cons

  • Attack slower than hunters.
  • Take a really long time to level.
  • Are somewhat expensive.
    • Need to buy arrows until level 30 (or 30+ depending on skill build).
  • Mob skill does not stun.
  • AP, STR and DEX build does not let you recieve boost at the normal level.

The Beginning

When you start your charater again as my other guide I suggest you pick an apropriate name please don’t pick something like

  • Sn1p3r901910

or

  • 0o0oSn1p3r69

Things to pick

  • XbowMan

or

  • SniperClaw

or

  • ArrowXbow

Stats

When you begin your character it’s important to begin it right. Roll the dice until you get one of the three combintations:

X = Any number

Combination 1
Str - X
Dex - X
Int - 4
Luk - 4

Combination 2
Str - X
Dex - X
Int - 5
Luk - 4

Combination 3
Str - X
Dex - X
Int - 4
Luk - 5

Ability Point (AP) Build

STR - Always equal to your level
DEX - Gets the rest of the points
INT - Gives extra MP increase per level (Does not help snipers in damage)
LUK - You lose less EXP when you die. (Does not help snipers in damage)
  • Remember Snipers will get crossbows each 5 levels, starting from 12, Only until level 50.
    • This means you can add no STR during the level through 1 - 14. Then use the rest levels to add STR for the Battle Crossbow.
      • Use this to your advantage
        • Never raise up your HP or MP, as you could be raising it on more DEX.

Bowman Skills

Image:Arrow Blow.gif Arrow Blow

  • Level 1 MP -6; Damage 141%
  • Level 10 MP -9; Damage 195%
  • Level 20 MP -14; Damage 260%
    • Comment -

Double shot has been proven to do more damage when criticals come into effect, and in overall damage, when criticals are taken into account. Put one point in this skill to unlock double shot.

Image:Critical Shot.gif Critical Shot

  • Level 1 12% success rate, critical damage 105%
  • Level 10 30% success rate, critical damage 150%
  • Level 20 40% success rate, critical damage 200%
    • Comment -

A must-max. This skill ADDS 200% damage, not doubles it. Note from Shadowrunex: adding 200% means tripling it, not doubling it. Really?

100% + 200% from crit = 300% damage - yes, it triples the damage

Image:Double Shot.gif Double Shot

  • Level 1 MP -8; Damage 76% x 2 Hits
  • Level 10 MP -11; Damage 100% x 2 Hits
  • Level 20 MP -16; Damage 130% x 2 Hits
    • Comment -

Max this skill. You’ll be using it until the end of 2nd job.

Image:Focus.gif Focus

  • Level 1 MP -8; accuracy +1 and avoidability +1 for 70 seconds
  • Level 10 MP -8; accuracy +10 and avoidability +10 for 170 seconds
  • Level 20 MP -16; accuracy +20 and avoidability +20 for 300 seconds
    • Comment -

Not a very useful skill to max, as a CrossbowMan, you would already have high accuracy and avoidablity… Add some good points to it when in 2nd Job Advancement, as it would prove to be more worthy.

Image:The Blessing Of Amazon.gif The Blessing Of Amazon

  • Level 1 Accuracy +1
  • Level 10 Accuracy +10
  • Level 16 Accuracy +16
    • Comment -

As a sniper, you put a lot of points into DEX, which means your accuracy is already going to be good enough. You could still raise this skill up if you have some extra SP left.

Editted By Haphtoo : Maxed at level 16, not 20

Image:The Eye Of Amazon.gif The Eye Of Amazon

  • Level 1 Range of attack for bows and crossbows +15
  • Level 8 Range of attack for bows and crossbows +120
    • Comment -

Another must-max. Range is one of the advantages of the archer.

Skill Point Distrubution

Like every class, you need the right distrubution to be a perfect Sniper. Here is the best way to spend your SP:

In any order of your liking is fine though, you just have to have these skills planted out:

By Level 30:

20 Double Shot

8 The Eye of Amazon

1 Arrow Blow

0 Focus

20 Critical Shot

12 The Blessing of Amazon

This is the best I thought of…

Crossbowman Skills

Image:Crossbowmastery.gif Crossbow Mastery

  • Level 1 15% crossbow mastery, +1 accuracy
  • Level 10 35% crossbow mastery, +10 accuracy
  • Level 20 60% crossbow mastery, +20 accuracy
    • Comment -

Max this first. You’ll need all 20 points to unlock the 4th job advanced mastery (which you will LOVE). This skill brings up your minimum damage, so you can’t do without it.

Image:Final Attack Icon.gif Final Attack: Crossbow

  • Level 1 2% success rate, damage 105% of regular attack
  • Level 15 30% success rate, damage 175% of regular attack
  • Level 30 60% success rate, damage 250% of regular attack
    • Comment -

FA or FA-less is one of the most debated topics about archers. Here are the facts:

The FA arrow that you fire has no range limit (it can go all the way to the edge of the screen or hit the enemy that’s right in your face immediately after you whack it), which means that until your arrow either hits something or the edge of the map, you cannot pot, run away, jump, or attack. FA CAN increase your firing speed. FA CAN make your boss-fights more difficult unless you’re partied with a priest who knows that your FA might backstab you any minute.

Your sniper, your choice. Whether or not you want FA is up to you.

Image:Crossbowbooster.gif Crossbow Booster

  • Level 1 HP -29, MP -29; crossbow attacking speed increases for 10 seconds
  • Level 10 HP -20, MP -20; crossbow attacking speed increases for 100 seconds
  • Level 20 HP -10, MP -10; crossbow attacking speed increases for 200 seconds
    • Comment -

Max this skill. It increases your overall damage by allowing you to fire more arrows in less time.

Image:Powerknockback.gif Power Knock Back

  • Level 1 MP: -8, Rate of knock back +2%, damage 105%, knock-back 2 enemies
  • Level 10 MP: -8, Rate of knock back +20%, damage 150%, knock-back 3 enemies
  • Level 20 MP: -15, Rate of knock back +40%, damage 200%, knock-back 6 enemies
    • Comment -

Of course max this skill. If the enemy runs right into your face, what CAN you do but to whack at it, so why not give it a good dose of your power while you’re at it? Note: your only melee mob control for 2nd job

Image:Soularrow.gif Soul Arrow: Crossbow

  • Level 1 MP -15; Attack for 30 seconds without using up an arrow
  • Level 10 MP -15; Attack for 300 seconds without using up an arrow
  • Level 20 MP -20; Attack for 600 seconds without using up an arrow
    • Comment -

Saving arrows will be a major part of earning money. Put enough points so that you don’t need to recast it continuously.

Image:Ironarrow.gif Iron Arrow

  • Level 1 MP -14; 64% damage
  • Level 15 MP -14; 120% damage
  • Level 30 MP -28; 180% damage
    • Comment -

A must-max, as it is your first mob control skill. It weakens for every enemy it hits, up to six targets.

Skill Point Distrubution

These skills have been planted out the best they could. You can raise them up in any order you perfer, just follow this build.

FA Build:

19 Crossbow Mastery

30 Final Attack: Crossbow

6 Crossbow Booster

  • Level 15 MP -23; Basic attack 122%
  • Level 30 MP -28; Basic attack 160%
    • Comment -

One of the funnest parts of being a sniper. Max this skill; it does decent damage and hits all around you.

Image:Blizzard.gif Blizzard

  • Level 1 MP -20; Attack power 100%, freezes enemy for 1 second
  • Level 15 MP -25; Attack power 128%, freezes enemy for 2 seconds
  • Level 30 MP -30; Attack power 140%, freezes enemy for 3 seconds
    • Comment -

Put at LEAST 21 points into this skill to get that 3-second freeze. It’s worth it.

Image:Golden Eagle.gif Golden Eagle

  • Level 1 MP -32; lasts 103 seconds, with 23 basic att. and 50% success rate of stunning
  • Level 15 MP -60; lasts 145 seconds, with 65 basic att. and 88% success rate of stunning
  • Level 30 MP -80; lasts 180 seconds, with 100 basic att. and 99% success rate of stunning
    • Comment -

The best part of this is the stun. On an enemy that can be stunned (ex: mini-bosses), a definite advantage.

Image:Mortal Blow.gif Mortal Blow

  • Level 1 32% success rate, basic attack 110%; kills the monster with HP at 20% or lower at 1% success rate
  • Level 10 50% success rate, basic attack 200%; kills the monster with HP at 35% or lower at 5% success rate
  • Level 20 70% success rate, basic attack 250%; kills the monster with HP at 50% or lower at 10% success rate
    • Comment -

This is another commonly debated aspect of archers. As of today, I don’t know what the majority recommends.

Image:Puppet.gif Puppet

  • Level 1 MP -23; Summon puppet of 500 HP for 5 seconds
  • Level 10 MP -26; Summon puppet of 1800 HP for 30 seconds
  • Level 20 MP -32; Summon puppet of 6000 HP for 60 seconds
    • Comment -

Adds another tactical element into gameplay. An essential skill. Have it at level 10 or higher before you try anything dangerous with it.

Image:Strafe.gif Strafe

  • Level 1 MP -26; Basic attack 52% per arrow

Masks over your double shot, and has a lower recoil time. Definitely max.

Most experienced snipers don’t like this skill, and don’t put any points into it. You’ll often be partying with thieves, and you can get speed boosts from your equipment.

Skill Point Distrubution:

Here comes the funnest distrubutions of being a sniper. And of course, any order you like the skills is fine, just follow this build!

30 Arrow Eruption

21 Blizzard

30 Golden eagle

18 Thrust/Mortal Blow

20 Puppet

30 Strafe

Where to train

Level 1-10

Snails and such on Maple Island. Orange Mushrooms are hard at these levels, don’t even think about it.
Level 10-15

Henesys Hunting Ground I, bottom floor for more snails or shrooms. Purple Plains 1 is also a good source, as it inhabits less people.

Level 15-20

Either move up a floor on the Henesys Hunting Grounds or go to Mushroom Garden.

Level 20-24

Pig Beach or The Rain Forest East of Henesys has a nice spawn rate of pigs. Enjoy!
Level 24-30

Kerning City PQ if you want to make more mesos or Ant Tunnel I is a good intitive to move on.

Level 30-35

Ant Tunnel I-IV is good for now. Try evil eyes in The Cave of Evil Eye and zombie mushrooms in the Ant Tunnel Park if you bored of the Ant Tunnels. Last choice would be Wild Boars in The Land of Wild Boars I.
Level 35-38 or 40

The Land of Wild Boars is OK for now. For even more decency, Ludibrium PQ is your place.
Level 38 or 40-50

Still Ludi PQ is good, since you’ll probably be acecpted in higher lvls like this. Also you can go to curse eyes in Ellinia forests.

Level 50-60

Try Orbis PQ, and if you can’t get in, curse eyes, zombie lupins or stone gollems are good.

Level 60-70

Defenitly Orbis PQ now, or battle Dark Stone gollems, cold eyes, and any kind of drake.
Level 70-80

Skeletal soldiers, Buffies, and places in steep El Nath.
Level 80+

Anything you can 1,2 or 3HKO is fine. Or try Shanerian guild quest/bosses.
