Recommended Builds for Bow/XBow
 
So, as the title says, what are some recommended builds for a bow?
Also for a crossbow/xbow? Thanks in advance to any advice :3

Most people get 25 spr, then go Dex or End.

As far as I know.

Loveless 11-30-2007 07:24 PM

A build I did for my crossbow was 25 SPR and then full DEX. I make up for my END stats with rings and END on my crossbows. Since we don't get that added block rate without a shield, shouldn't waste those points on END when you can get the same boost from just rings and earrings with HP bonus.

Some go full STR but that build will only help while you are still low leveled. After that the bonus damage isn't that significant. If you want more damage, simply upgrade your current weapon.

Zwivix 11-30-2007 08:29 PM

Lol, I doing the opposite of your first build. 25 SPR the rest END and I have DEX accessories ^^

Loveless 11-30-2007 10:59 PM

That works too. I just think that if you want that third stat badly, just use rings for it. :3

viasta 11-30-2007 11:07 PM

I like END: DEX 1:1 Build, decent def and good evasion, if get hit, not as much dmg

Zwivix 12-01-2007 03:04 AM

But you'll get hit more since you dont got the big SPR crit bonus or the lower but more contstant STR bonus.

You might wanna add alot of accessories for SPR so at least you get some more crits.

I usually kill the mob before it even reaches me, so I have no need for DEX. It doesnt matter if I evade more, I just hit them more ^^

Old Warrior 12-01-2007 03:33 AM

Well, i have a build going totally the opposite from you guys:

I have 25 spr for the crit and sp, then i am going 2:1 str:dex.
This is working great for me, i am grinding on monsters,10-15 lvls higher than me. The only thing about this build is that you have to be in a party, but then thats the whole point of the build, not putting any points in end...

P.S. i am lvl 37 and is using a cross bow

Enraya 12-01-2007 04:01 AM

I thought that SPR rings + accessories don't give crit?
Only the m. def and extra SP, but I could be wrong.

I have 25 SPR, and I have decided to put the rest in END. Will use aim scroll if needed :3

Loveless 12-01-2007 05:03 AM

SPR rings don't give any crit bonus. Just the earrings with them and putting points into stats.

I solo fine with my build with DEX:SPR. Usually with one mob I use one stone and/or I just rest up. With no points into END (just using the rings and HP bonus earrings) I'm usually the one tanking if there's no Fighters in the party. With the crits I give out I'm able to hold the aggro and can take up to 3 mobs depending on what it is (and of course a good cleric). :P

Bunie 12-01-2007 06:16 AM

So a good build for crossbow would be the 25 spr, and then dex, with end equips?

Then what about bow D;

Thanks to all those who helped, and will help :3

O-mie 12-01-2007 09:31 AM


I'll post my argument on the dex vs end argument.

My winner would have to be End. I'm currently 47, and I use a crossbow.

As archers, we naturally get a huge dex bonus. I've never touched dex, and things between green - orange miss me quite often, without an evasion scroll.

However, in the higher levels, you don't level on monsters that are green- orange, you would be most beneficial leveling on monsters that are 10-15+ levels higher than you, which means....they're gonna hit you, whether you like it or not. In this case, end is more beneficial. No, we don't get shields for block rate, but its still added defense and hp.

Anyways, if you're concerned morely for pvp though, I suggest going with Dex, or a mixture of both.

However, as I get higher I kind of realize...Stats are pretty much only beneficial 1-35 levels, lol. I think right now the best stat to stay with that continues to be beneficial is SPR >_>

Also, I think normal bow > crossbow in pvp. crossbow is nice for skills, but when you go crossbow against a normal bow, normal bow is bound to win for speed, since skills and their delays. =3 Just a tidbit from some pvping experiences x3

Bunie 12-01-2007 02:23 PM

Full Spr o.0?

Valentines 12-01-2007 10:50 PM

After 25 SPR, it's worthless.

Shh. I'm going full SPR on my nub archer. 8D

Valentines 12-01-2007 11:27 PM

Lol.

Fr0Z3nWind 12-02-2007 02:43 AM

this is my build
25 spr, 14 dex(accidently added when i was a noob)

going towards
25% critical
rest into str

Reason : i'm always in a duo party with my cleric friend
i am able to tank the mobs for some reason usually with mob missing me 5 times in a row or such
i feel that i shuld do more dmg to get rid of mob quickly so that my cleric doesnt use up so much sp

Rings : End
Equipment : Str n End

Why no SPR?
SPR equipment doesnt add critical for goodness sake
What about Dex equip?
Dex equipment only adds accuracy, not evasion

a.L 12-02-2007 02:47 AM

DEX from equips do add evasion.

Bunie 12-02-2007 02:30 PM

So what would be a good build if you used bow and crossbow (switching to bow after skills are used and recharging, then switching back to crossbow to use skills)

KingShay 12-03-2007 04:04 PM

I'm not sure where you got that from but most build are:
25 SPR and rest into either END, STR, or DEX.

Level 18 isn't too hard to get to again so if it bothers you, you can restart. Otherwise, you should decide on what you want to have as a main stat and invest points into that. I would suggest that you round off the stats into increments of 5s...

KingShay 12-03-2007 06:03 PM

So spr,str and dex are not good?
i know what str and spr add,but what dex do?
i mean str add power to attack,and spr add crictal.
and what dex do?

Luftwaffle 12-03-2007 09:47 PM

dex increases your chance to hit the enemy, which is actually fairly big at later levels. It also increases your chance to dodge an attack. If you check the wiki it'll give more detail (http://www.fiestafan.com/wiki/All_About_Stats)

The stats themselves aren't bad. It's just that when you stretch your stat points to 3 different things... you become a little less powerful. The most you should really invest is 2 stats. Most archers get the SPR to 25 then choose between going STR for added power, END for more HP and defense, or DEX for evasion and aim.

MikeyG 12-04-2007 05:41 AM

25 spr, then rest in str, are best bet ! :D

That is good, or you can do what i did which is 25 spr, then 2:1 ratio of str to dex. This gives me the crit from the spr, good str damage and some aim and dodge from dex.

Xylem 12-04-2007 06:13 AM

Basically from what I've seen, the stat choices are the same for almost all the classes (maybe except mage. Although i did get a suggestion about a full str mage before hehe).

KingShay 12-04-2007 12:42 PM

i thinik i will do like Old Warrior
dex,str,and 25 spr.
feww at least i know my archer is not ruined :D.
just what to do,more str or more dex?

Bunie 12-04-2007 05:33 PM

What is a build that suits the bow, and one that suits both the bow and crossbow? It still hasn't been answered :S

Thanks to anybody who helps :3

Loveless 12-04-2007 05:43 PM

I'm not sure what is the best build for a bow. I'd suppose you can do the SPR and STR combo to make up for the lack of damage compared to the crossbow. Of course, any build that is good enough for the bow will be just as good for the crossbow.

My build with the crossbow is 25 SPR and rest DEX. I did this to make up for the Aim on the crossbow and I've always thought that Archers should be able to dodge more than just sit there and take hits. I make up for END with my crossbow and two END rings.

Power Archer: STR:SPR [Make up for HP/Defense with END Rings]
Defensive Archer: END:SPR or STR [STR Rings or END for added Defense/HP]
Evasive Archer: DEX:SPR [END Rings]
Hybrid Archer: STR:END/DEX:SPR [Whichever you want more of: STR, END or DEX]

Cap SPR at 25 and rest into whatever stats. Hope that made sense?

Bunie 12-04-2007 06:00 PM

Thanks so much :D
