Yeah, but it doesn't seem too bad. I'm Lv30 in a week... maybe less and if you're grinding at the right spot you'll gain a level easily. Some of the quests will get you stay out for a good 20-30 minutes and in that time you'll usually gain 30-40%... especially if you're collecting items. *0*

I need advice on a skill build for a bow explorer. D:

From what I've read on their forums you need to max out your Bow Master asap.

Start off with 1 point in mastery so you can get the skills. Then add one point each in the two skills. Continue to max novice mastery.

After that max out the two skills and then add one point each on the next set which is available at Lv20. Then from there max out the rest of the master (intermediate and expert?). When that's done you can continue on to the rest of the attack skills. They recommend getting both but I'm not sure it's necessary. Perhaps pick which side you like and concentrate on that first.

When you've had enough with the weapon tree, then you can add points into the Misc skills. That's by preference though and how many points you have left. As for myself I'm going to go for the increased Ely/rare drop tree.

Aand maybe 3 points into the treasure chest opening skill. Each point = different maps. Lv1 = pluton, Lv2 = mountain area, Lv3 = ... the other place...

Looks like I'm on the right track.

Yay. :3

I recently purchased some gear that had added rare drop rate increase. Getting a lot of drops alright... but not exactly "rare". I'm hoping to get a party into the dragon's lair to get my hands on some of the armor. Preferably the bow. *0*

Oh, I have some quests for Dragon's Lair.

Though apparently that dungeon needs a LOT of fire defense and... at least the Lv32 set.

Great...

-lol- I'm only a lv 8 bow explorer..I already epic phail..im not used to the interface...

Interface is pretty easy I think? But that may be because I've played MapleStory and I'm okay with the key controls. :3
