The lvl cap for CK is only 120. Is it worth it to add str on archers for better bows? I'm sure using the kandiva until 120 with all ap points in dex is better. AP points given after lvl 70 is only 5 which equals only 14 or 15 atk range. One wep atk point adds 13. I calculated it and the difference between the kandiva atk and lvl 120 bow's atk is not worth adding str to use the 120 bow over just adding all ap points to dex and using a kandiva. Do you guys agree?

But will they increase the cap to 200 eventually? If not then just use the kandiva i guess but that would get boring after a while..

a level 120 cygnus has 670 ap to use, plus 13 dex and 4 strength from base stats at level 1. if one were to go full dex, they would have 683 dex total, and 4 str. regular str archers would have 120 str, and 559 dex. the damage formula for bows is (3.4*Dex) + Str)*(Attack/100) A clean kandiva is 78 attack. A clean unleveled reverse engaw is 105 attack. A clean timeless engaw is 107 attack. (3.4*683) + 4)*(78/100)= roughly 1814 (3.4*559) + 120)*(105/100)= roughly 2121 regular strength is still more powerful. Of course, these calculations are without equips and without scrolling. Actual numbers from real characters would be considerably higher then this, but in general this trend remains true. The higher the attack on both rises, the smaller the gap is, the better the stat bonuses, the larger the gap is (remember, things like zhelms give twice the bonus to regular str then strless, because the 15 extra strength translates to 15 ap put in dex, not str.

The reg str would have a clear adv, provided you get a timeless/reverse wep.

holyone317 : The reg str would have a clear adv, provided you get a timeless/reverse wep. The reg str would have a clear advantage by level 100 or so, because the extra ap cygnus's get.
