Okay so i have a huge issue, im thinking of making a reverse bow, but then some tell me to keep my 115 att arund. Wich one is better and what crystals shall i use if i create a reverse one. Im also planning on upgrading my shoes to be able to eqp reverse without adding that much str. HELP ME ARCHERS ON MAPLESTORY!

Sonicdoragon : Yes it did it's a 1/10 chance so i got freakishly lucky o.o i'll get a pic up for proof =p http://i271.photobucket.com/albums/jj154/SonicDoragon/Maple0638.jpg (photobucket) Edit: @ crayola: It can also make it below average, or do absolutely nothing. I've used stims before and they never seem to actually boost things for me. So far every stim has either made the item go boom or done nothing. =/ so theres always a risk. That's great, although imo I'd scroll a reverse weapon before even equipping it.

Will it always give you + 1 Hurricane each time you level? o.o

ChopSuey : That's great, although imo I'd scroll a reverse weapon before even equipping it. It really doesn't matter, either way it gets scrolled. it' s just this way you can say "I need X number of scrolls to make it amazing."(which can be controlled to an extent) instead of "It needs X amount of atk per level up to make it amazing."(which can't be controlled ever) another plus is since it gives a point to hurricane I don't need to make another bow as it naturally adds 1% more to my damage (or on my next level up 11%) pretty nifty considering it's not scrolled. but simply put, now i can control the number of scrolls i want to use to make it a god-send bow. Crayola555 : Will it always give you + 1 Hurricane each time you level? o.o it only adds a point to hurricane once so say i have level 29 hurricane naturally my bow makes it level 30 when equipped. I.e. it's just one point but that means i can cap it sooner and move on to another skill. as for leveling myself nope it only affect the skill it's self.

So if you un-equip the bow, you go back to level 29 Hurricane? O_O

I'd keep the Arund... you could cap your str at like 50str... which is pretty low..

Here's a thought... instead of using a Black Crystal to get random stats, why not use a cheaper jewel type that could potentially give you a beneficial stat you didn't think of? Make an Advanced Amethyst and give your weapon boosted running speed! After all, the faster you walk, the faster you can get into range or out of tight spots... so that's something good, eh? EDIT: I would definitely make the Reverse Bow for your final weapon - use the Arund until you make the bow (and get it more powerful than your Arund), then sell for a profit. What I don't reccomend, however, is buying the forging material. Use the Arund to hunt for the time pieces you need. Not only will you have some training time, but you save a lot of cash instead... cash that could go into better armour.
