All about Archers.
 

Since Fiesta is new to many of us, I thought that it'd be nice to make a list of 'things' about a Archers. 'Things' can be anything ranging from weopons, skills and builds to how they look, their stances or even details down to the nitty gritty stuff. This'll be a help to both me and the people who haven't read anything about it yet ^^. I will soon be adding to this list as well, as I am currently reading about Fiesta. Let this be a compilation of the knowledge of FF members, about Archers.

I'll start of with the basic basic basics. Please place your 'things' in dot point, for easier reading too. I'll be adding other people's feedback into this list as well. Credit will be fully given:

-Uses a bow or crossbow
-Long range
-Can AoE

Following information has been taken from 4swordlink's post in Outspark forum. I just changed the formatting of it to make it easier to read.

Again, full credits go to 4swordlink's post in Outspark forum. I have only reposted here for those who haven't seen it. I also only formatted this because it kind of killed my eyes reading on the black background/white font on the main page.

I like the arrow rain thing, similar to that of an acrobat from Flyff.

Hopefully this doesn't turn into a grindfest.

I really don't want it to be a grindfest x__x

So far I'm leaning towards Archer or Mage.

ugh amen, 69 BP on Flyff and I quit I'm not looking to sit infront of my computer al day playing a free game =P

Woah? Wait what? I'm not sure if you realized this or not, but you applied for the guild, Malice. Correct? I'm sorry but you have no choice.

Haha just kidding. Anyway, archers seem great. They have great skills, and I think will prove to be good damage dealers due to their range, AOE, and quick attack speed.

yea i think ill try out archer first, im usually a mage or possible warrior, so ill try something different. Besides, I also like the skills it has.

I just read in the other section that an Archer's damage isn't based on dex. =\

This needs to be confirmed but yeah, most likely. They did this to balance the class so they don't only rely on 1 kind of stats (making them aim/evasion and damage gods)... :eek:

I wonder how fast they shoot. I know with some games, the archers shoot HELLA slow, but in others, they shoot just as fast/faster than melee attacks (if that makes sense). Anyways, I'll have to ask somone who is in CB.

Well im sure it wont be the best in the beginning, especially if the weapon determines the speed, but yea, i hope its pretty decent haha.

i'm an ex-flyffer hope archers don't become an extremely overpowered class, are the job changes in this? i always liked the idea of job changes.

Yeah, there is job changes. Lvl20 and 60 I believe.

@Sigh:

Soo I think you kind of start off with a class already at the beginning. There are job advance quest or something at level ... (forgot) but it's not like FlyFF how you can choose -psykeeper- or -elementor-, you only have one choice. I don't think they have implemented choices yet but I heard that they might be doing that later. Not sure...

Does anybody know whether crossbows or normal bows do more damage?

Edit: Crossbows do more damage but are slower.

Normal bows look better IMO.

yeah ive never liked crossbows...

I use a crossbow because it's stats are better overall, but I like the bow better overall.

I like the bow more O.o It's my first time playing not as a healer in a game. And I like it a lot 8) I am just not use to buying so many hp stuff XD!


I play flyff too, I'm a lvl 97 RM :x

Hi. i'm new here.
Have a lvl 2x cleric and just started playing a archer and really enjoy playing it more.
For me most likely gonna use crossbow cause of the higher damage. most prob gonna spam skill and since skill fire rate for skill i guessing is the same whether using bow or crossbow. Makes more sense using it.
My two cents worth :D

I'm always a mage in every game but when cb2 come out im gonna change charcters scine i kinda like playing the least played class.

It's going to be hard skill spamming seeing the cooldowns are a pain + Archers have low SP, unless you plan on going for a high SPR build.

Me too Kuhn :D

I'll try to help out if you need, but don't ask for help on where to put stats, it's your own character, build them yourself, I don't mind telling my build but you should make it your own character :D

Thats what I did. I did power first and then SP consumption because I use all my skills on the monsters I battle..besides multi shot since I find it pointless unless pvp. So I got nothing in multi-shot cause I don't use it much anyways.

Hi Synelia!

It's a long time since i heard from you! lol
I hope CB2 opens real soon!

FiestaFan.com has a lot of members now! Keep it up! lol

lol I have it too.
You and Me

A little off topic, but how did you get three lots of hotkey bars? o: I didn't know we can do that! Dx

lol! you can have many as 5 i think! just click! the button which shows additional
Quick bar! and you can drag it to the side or any where in the screen!

FireriotI have a close up one! lol

Ohh! Thanks lol. One good thing about this game is that they provide more hotkeys in one bar (more than the other two mmorpgs I played anyway) and lets you have multiple hotkey bars up. xD

I'll probably use the other bars for first and second skills so I can double and triple poison people >=3

I only use the second quick slot for Dance skill and other like greet and Etc.

It saves me time when i want to dance in the game! lol

I love the emotions we get, so random! I miss the emotion "shake your butt" from flyff cause they just turn around spack themself and shake it. It's so funny! And I can think of sooo manytime when I could of used it! XD

good luck xP Thought of names yet? :o

Nice name! lol
Hope to see you in the game! =)
