I just made a Wind Archer, currently level 10, lol. But I am wondering how should I distribute my AP? Is going "STRless" really going to help out with damage as a Wind Archer? Or should I just go normal str build. And I've never been any sort of Archer before, well actually once, but I do not remember how to allocate my AP correctly. Thank you for all who answers!

I find it easiest to go low dex until you outlevel your maple kandiva bow. Then you should start raising your dex. The normal build is: your level + 5 str

my Windarcher is lvl 40 atm..... but i puted 30 str so i could use lvl 25 bow then i use Red flower tube....(no str required) my next bow is gonna be Maple soul searcher then lvl 64 bow..... i later i might put str so i can use lvl 80+ bow that good......im just low str in the beginning... a litle dex boost. Strless is not good when u are 80+ :P

Why would anyone make a low-dex bowman -_-. And znibble/dexlesolle, I think the tube is pink but you're right, the tube is godly and clean. Too bad it only lasts for a week.

I made a STRless wind archer and he is now level 45 What I did was get a hunter's bow in henny, and nub scroll all 7 slots. That will hold you over until you are level 30 (pink flower tube is GODLY) Then when you get the tube, nub scroll it again if you are funded enough to do that. I have a maple bow and soul searcher, but I would have to spend lots of money legitimately scrolling it (30%s and 60%s) for it to even come CLOSE to the tube's power. So the tube is your weapon until you can get a Kandiva. I'm using a tube at level 45, and I'm topping 2300 damage *mobbing, and with criticals obviously*. I can do about 4k with double shot if I get 2 criticals at the highest damage for each. I think strless then converting to low-str is the best way to go, based on my results. Besides, you cannot get hurricane, or any of your good skills until at least level 100 anyway (they need to be unlocked by defeating a boss in a special hunting grounds, and you cannot attempt this until level 100+) So your damage will be great for a long time. Once you are getting close to 100, then you can start putting points in strength, or look for strength equips if you need to. I have 304 dex at my current level, so once you are closer to 100, the sheer amount of dex will be your source of damage, and will make it less painful to put points in strength than regular strength builds. And the 6 AP per level REALLY helps :D Everyone says around level 100 STRLESS does less damage than regular strengths, but #1 if he is not your main I doubt he's getting to that level any time soon anyway, and #2 I've learned it's better to be statless and add later if you have to, than add regularly and cap off. I made a mistake with my mage; I have 99 base luk which is way too much. I have a lvl 70 ele wand, and do not have dep star or a zhelm, so I didnt have to add so much LUK. I didn't anticipate finding an ele wand at a good price, and didnt know when I could get a dep star or zhelm. The point is that things happen that you dont expect, so if you start out statless you will never have to worry about adding too much of your secondary stat like I did on my main
