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.
