| Brandonn's Guide to Windbreakers Before lvl 10 , pump every AP you get into STR to speed up killing . As for skills , I would say up anything you�re happy with . Personally I went for Three Snails and Recovery . Reason being that Three Snails now does not require snail shells and nimble feet doesn�t benefit a wind breaker at all as Thrust gives you maximum movement speed anyway . After you reach lvl 10 follow Ninetails instructions and finally talk to your Job Instructor . You�re finally a Wind Breaker . Here is summarized AP build and SP build : AP : Basically DEX all the way , until you need to pump STR . Eg. You want to use a Metus as your end game weapon , which requires 95 STR . Assuming you don�t have equips that add STR , you start pumping your AP into STR from lvl 74 , which will result in you getting 95 STR at lvl 90 . Justification : Okay now I know a lot of people will now start asking ��Why pure dex ? Well personally I�m pure dex but even if you�re going normal , it is more beneficial to go pure dex at the start , as STRless bows ( Maple Bow , Maple Soul Searcher , Maple Gandiva Bow , Bow of Magical Destruction ) are available to you until lvl 65 . Then when you finally need the STR to equip a higher lvl bow you pump STR all the way for a couple of lvls until your desired lvl and bow . ( This requires a lot of planning early on ) . Many people ask , then is damage going to suck until I reach lvl 35 ? Basically , if you�re unfunded + your KoC is not linked to a high lvl character resulting in a low lvl Bless of the Fairy buff , yes . But don�t worry . One unique point of a KoC is that there are quests available exclusively for KoCs that almost spoonfeeds you to lvl 30 ( Note the word almost , other quests I would recommend to help you lvl fast are the NLC Mayor welcoming quiz at lvl 10 , and the 99 mushroom quests at sleepywood ) . From that point you have MCPQ to get to lvl 35 . Skill Build ( 1st job ) : Lvl 10 ~ Storm Sprite lvl 1 Lvl 11 ~ Eye of the Amazon lvl 3 Lvl 12 ~ Eye of the Amazon lvl 6 Lvl 13 ~ Eye of the Amazon lvl 8 , Double Shot lvl 1 Lvl 14 ~ 20 Max Double Shot Lvl 21 ~ 27 Max Critical Shot , lvl 2 Storm Sprite Lvl 28 ~ 30 All into Storm Sprite . Justification : Firstly , once you become a Wind Breaker you�ll start using a bow . And a big headache most bowmen have at low lvls is that when monsters get too close , instead of shooting an arrow , you start swinging your bow in an attempt to knock it away . Storm Sprite hits and prevents most monsters from getting too close , and enables you to shoot freely . Next that is needed is Eye of the Amazon that will maximise your range , allowing you to shoot further and speed up killing by not having to walk too much . Double shot is maxed before even putting a point in critical as during training , it is damage consistency that counts while criticals help more in bossing , which is why it is upgraded at lvls 21~27 , when you�ll most likely need it against King Slime , should you |
