CHAPTER 3

Finally you were looking for a guide to make the perfect archer build. Well I already posted a guide on that so let me just copy and paste.

An Archer basically need 3 or 4 stats. They don't need INT because they
don't use magic. END and DEX will decide your DEF and STR and SPR will
decide your damage. So i decided to compare them.


DEX VS. END

Some people say to put some points in END. I personally don't recommend
END. I say put them in DEX. Why? Because you also get up your aim and
use less money on pots. Because with DEX you dodge more so you don't
lose any HP. Put

it this way. Would you rather get hit more often but lose less HP OR
get hit less often but loss alot of HP. But a bonus with DEX is you get
aim and will hit the enemy more. Also i would like to add every lvl you
get around 3 points on DEX automatically. Plus rings are good if you
really want some END. So in conclusion DEX over END but you could have
some points in END if you feel you need them.



DEX IS THE WINNER.


STR VS. SPR

Well SPR is a main stat and every archer should have some. Although no more than 25 points. As after that it starts to suck. Now Archers have the highest crit rate already with that extra SPR... BOOH YAH! Now everyone will Argue saying STR is better for general damage. So if i say STR is better SPR archers will wine at me, and if i say STR is better
SPR archer's will wine at me. So...

IT'S A TIE!



Stat Descriptions

STR- Increases damage.

DEX- Increases aim and evasion. (MAIN)

END- Increases HP and def.

SPR- Increases M. defense, crit %, and max SP.(MAIN)



What Archer are you?

What Archer do you wanna be. Do you wanna kite? Do you wanna be able to
solo? Party? Or KQ? Do you wanna be a damage dealer or have good DEF.
Do you wanna pvp or pve more. Answer these question and it will help
you decide what builds to be.



Builds

Here are a list of builds I have found or made. (You can add to them if you want.)



My Build.

1:3 DEX: SPR This is my build for my archer. It suits my playing
style well. The reason i have good dmg and evasion. I also have good
aim. I have enough SP so i can use my skills alot and i do crit often.

Main Build.

1:1 DEX: SPR This build does focus on your two main stats and it's very good. But really put all your points into SPR until you have 25 then the rest into dex.

Basic Build.

1:1 STR: DEX. This is the generic build for any archer. It focuses on an archers damage and evasion.. Although later on in the 30's I suggest
some SPR.



Party Build.

2:2:1 STR: SPR: DEX. Why is this party. Because it allows for good
damage and good aim. Making you a good damage dealer. If you do end up
soloing with this prepare for alot of pots and stones.



Solo build.

2:2:1 DEX: STR: END. This is a good solo build because it has good DEF
and good damage. And you won't need alot of pots and stones.



Damage build.

3:3:1 STR: SPR: DEX. This is also a good pvp build because you maximize damage. Enough said.



Defense build.

1:1 DEX: END. Don't really recommond this. It has it's uses in pvp and does help in pve. It maximizes DEF.



All those builds are useful in pvp and pve. I just highlighted it's main purpose. You should also mix and match them to suit your playing style.



Professions

Scroll Production: I recommend for the buffs you get. Also good for money.

Potion Production: A great profession for the archer as you get lots of potions that heal good and can sell for alot.

Stone Production: Probably the best profession for money.



I don't recommend any other professions. But it's your call.

That was taken directly from How to decide YOUR archer's build.

Those are some of the basic Archer Builds. But really the only way you can mess up your Archer is full INT ;P.


CHAPTER 4

What should i go Crossbow or Bow? This is a dying question asked by so many archers. Well it really is all in preference. The Crossbow is better if you like to spam skills, while bow is better if you like to save SP. The reason is a bow does more damage with a regular attack while crossbow does more damage with skills. So if you like to spam skills go Crossbow if you like to do more damage without skills go Bow. It really is in your play style.


CHAPTER 5

We're almost at the end of the guide. And here's where i list the Pro's and Con's of an Archer. Why do i put this at the end. Because people just look at the Pro's and Con's of a class and decide. But now they know how they play and can make their decision.

PRO'S

- VERY HIGH Evasion. Why is Evasion so good? Ah I'm going to know answer your question you've been asking this entire time. Well lets see. If a Warrior were to get hit and it does 150dmg. Lets say he gets hit 5 times while fighting a guy. Thats 750 DMG! Now lets say an Archer get hit 5 time with 200dmg. THATS 1000! But lets say the archer dodges 3 of the hits. Thats only 400dmg. Now do you see my point.
- Medium HP and SP
- Lots of poison skill
- Good AoE skills
- Good Damage(crits)
- High aim
- Ranged
- Looks cool

CON'S

- Low def.
- Hard to Master
- Uses a lot of potions
- Average weapons
- Underpowered

Well that's my guide. I hope you learned something and now decide to add Archers to your party's or learned how to improve your skills. I'm keeping a contribution section. Post your idea's here and ill add them.

CONTRIBUTIONS

LEVEL 1-20 by: Chriszed

Waiting to get to lvl 20 so you can own just like this guide shows. Well I'm here to show you how to lvl up and where to train. I hope you have read the solo section. Because I will refer back to it.

Now you just made a character. Where do you train. What do you do? Well first things first talk to elemental helper Remi. She will give you the quest and all that stuff. Next do quests around town they give you your Armor. After that you should do KQ's they will lvl you up the fastest. I recommend training in

1-3 Roumen
3-6 Forest of tides
7-12 Sand beach
13-16 Forest of mist
17-20 Sea of greed.

Those maps are most suited for Archers. Now when you start up you should get all the moves available to you. I recommend you empower Aimed and power shot. Because these are your two main damaging moves. If you want to kill monsters fast use moves in this order

1. Aimed shot
2. Bone shot
3. Fury impact
4. Power shot

That should take out a monster pretty quick. You also should kite if you feel the need to.

When training in Sea of greed i recommend using cover. There should be lots of trees by the north near elderine. In party's I recommend you spam skills. Before you decide to hit lvl 20 you need about 12 silver. 2 silver to get pots and scrolls for the lvl up quest, and 10 silver for your multi shot, and armor. Only buy the armor from players. There is usually a shop around the blacksmith that sells it. Don't buy your weapon it's the reward from the quest. Good luck!
