I am a level 46 Wind Archer. I have never raised Str. Ive researched a little and I might be regretting making my wind archer Str-less. Is it possible to start adding str. and get to a normal amount fast? If so, how much should my str. be for level 46? If I should stay the way I am then can anyone help me out with the types of equips and bows I should be using later on as I level? Anything else I need to know about Str-less Wind Archers would be very helpful, thanks.

Honestly, before i throw out my random, offtopic flames why cygnuses are useless (and i promise after this comment, no further post below this will be regarding this matter, ima try holding myself back) cygnus related questions should go HERE As for your question, ill just think of a 3rd job ranger, and i just see a maple kadavia passing as a 120 character bow as long as its scrolled well. And dont worry about str untill 64+, since getter there is a sinch and thats only when you decide if you have the funds to stay that way.

You should start over with a real archer.

STOP! I've done the math on this... I can assure you that Strless is actually cheaper and STRONGER than low-str up until late 3rd job, around lvl 100ish. All you really need is a well scrolled kandiva. Don't bother switching unless you get your hands on a 110+ atk bow. Aim to add enough str to equip a well-scrolled nisrock which are fairly cheap now that timeless is out. Once again I can assure you that STRLESS is BETTER, especially through second job and half way through 3rd. Make the transition to low-str in late 3rd job.

Wind archers are already str-less compared to normal archers.

So to get a nisrock at level 100, at what level on 3rd job should I start adding all my AP to STR?

Yea, seriously, if you're going to compare to regular archers, they already get +5 stats into dex so no point. Just stick with a lvl 64 maple weaopn, scroll it well x] @SpamHeal you are so freaky..

stay str-less wind archers can do this due to the fact that they don't need reverse equips. it would be a waste to get reverse equips on a CK. if you dont level to fast you should be able to grab a nice kandiva in the maple birthday event right before summer and scroll it yourself. most of the remaining kandiva's are scrolled already so it is kinda hard to get one. if you have a 100+ atk kandiva you would need to worry about str. but if you would like to equips a metus/nisrock/c.arch then just get like 40-60 str and get str equips

http://www.sleepywood.net/forum/showthread.php?t=1582820 read that. for wind archers strless is superior until lvl 9x. I suggest converting around then. BMs/MMs are obviously going to be different since they gain less AP when they level.

Switch at Metus. Str-less dies off there unless you have some crazy high 110+ kandiva/BomD vs the average 105-ish Metus.
