Overview

Archers are experts at long-range combat with Bows and Arrows. Their range gives them several advantages, which include:

• The ability to change the element of their weapon quickly by changing their arrow type. This makes Archers able to exploit elemental advantages easily.
• Accuracy and damage are increased by the same stat (DEX), allowing all attacks to connect and deal a lot damage.
• Range enables archers to defeat stationary or slow-moving opponents that are stronger than they are without being hit.

Drawbacks of the Archer class include:

• Low VIT limits their ability to survive when they are caught up in melee situations.
• Require Arrows for every attack with a Bow. Running out of arrows in a firefight can make an Archer useless.

Leveling Spots & Tips

As Archer

Opinions are divided, but, usually it is advisable to raise Double Strafing in first place and move forward with the branch of skills, so that in last place Improve Concentration is raised, without forgetting that Arrow Shower should be raised as the last skill, we are talking about priority skills to raise, arrow shower at least at this time lacks utility compared to other skills.

Archer's Leveling Route:
Monsters	Recommended level	End level	Notes	Map
Familiar Zombie Poporing Skeleton	12	30	In first levels, beware of poporings, Familiar can be a bit annoying. Silver Arrows, almost everything is undead.	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F1
Spores Poporing Everything	12	30	Since spores give Strawberry and Blue herbs it is quite useful to get SP resources.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild01
Archer Skeleton Soldier Skeleton	35	50	Loot valuable in general for early levels, apple of archer is useful and Skeleton cards have their market. Be careful not to kill more than 1 at a time in the beginning. Nice loot and cards for Archer class. Silver Arrows needed.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild01
Wolf Everything	30	50	Wolves have a huge source of consumables both sp and hp, so it is an excellent area to leveling, unfortunately the initial zeny is not very useful. Fire Arrows.	Area: Payon Forest - Pay_fild02
Bongun Munak	40	60	The experience is decent, beware of the only nine tail on the map. Silver Arrows	Area: Payon Cave - Payon Cave F3
Geographer	40	60+	Nice Exp. Keep a distance of at least 3 cells and you will be safe. It is not recommended to kill more than 1 at a time in early levels or without SP. You can easily reach Einbroch if you buy a teleport scroll at the Gold Shop.	ein_fild04 - Einbroch Field
Mi Gao	40	60+	Nice Exp. Keep a distance. In first levels, always give priority to kill Mantis close to you. You can easily reach Louyang if you buy a teleport scroll at the Gold Shop, or going Alberta.	lou_fild01 - Louyang Field

Gear Progression

Start by buying a Composite Bow (2,500z) at Payon's armory, hold steady until you have enough for at least a Cross Bow (17,000z), then you can upgrade to a Gakkung Bow (42,000z) or you can simply save enough zeny (64,000z) to get a Hunter Bow once you change classes.

Job 40 or higher

To change class you must at least be job 41 (40 is necessary but 41 is recommended) and be able to upgrade most of the mandatory skills for your class, once you are reborn you can choose to upgrade Arrow Shower to level 9, but again, it is optional.

As Hunter

Once you become Hunter, it is advisable to upgrade as fast as possible blitz beat and the whole line of skills of the mentioned branch, first Falcon Mastery (mainly to be able to rent a falcon), Blitz Beat and finally steel crown that increases your damage, then you can continue with Beast Bane or Ankle Snare according to your preference.

Recommended Gear Progression (As Newbie)

Adventurers Sets

The adventurers set is an own set of the server, it is almost free, the only requirement is to perform the quests it has for you.

It is divided into three tiers, doubling its cost each time, getting the complete set without the weapon has a value of 20, 40 and 80.

We recommend getting the set as it is account bound and you can use it on your next characters, it is not tradeable.

You can replace the bow for any option that suits you better, it is just a suggestion and it is NOT mandatory to have the weapon of the set to take advantage of the benefits.

Build examples

DEX/AGI

STR: 1

AGI: 90-99 (base)

VIT: 1

INT 9 (base)

DEX: 130+ (99 base)

LUK: 1

A classic build without many complications, lots of aspd, lots of damage. You can reduce dex/agi a bit and add some more int to have a bigger SP pool. A very simple build that doesn't need to go too deep into the class, eventually when you become a sniper you can try to optimize it. The idea is to close the DEX in multiplies of 10 and the agi to match your aspd.

You can use the adventurers set or directly a pantie and undershirt set. Another option is to get 2 gloves with slot and a zerom card for each one and get high dex multipliers, ideally over 130.

AutoBlitz

STR: 1
AGI: 90-99 (base)

VIT: 1-20

INT: 1-40 (base)

DEX: 60-80 (base)

LUK: 40+

This build focuses mainly on basic attacks, high aspd above all.

• Only set off from normal attacks with a bow. Attacking with skills, daggers, or fists will not trigger it.
• May be triggered even if the attack misses or is blocked by a skill. Basically, a chance for every arrow.
• For every 3 points of LUK there is an additional 1% chance Auto-Blitz Beat will be triggered.
• The number of times Auto-Blitz Beat will hit its enemy depends on the level of Blitz Beat and the job level of the character. Job levels 1-9 allow it to hit up to one time, while job levels 40+ allow the maximum of 5 hits if level 5 Blitz Beat is attained.
• The damage dealt is divided by the number of enemies Auto-Blitz Beat hits. For example, if it hits 3 enemies at once each enemy would receive 1/3 of the damage.
