How many of you bowmen out there bosses way more than training and vice versa, and how many of you are about balanced? A 4th job archer has two different paths to choose. One is bossing, and the other is training. I heard bossing gives you more money, and training lvls faster.

I haven't been "training" as in killing newties, skeles or ToT mobs for exp ever since like...13x or so. Well, I've skele'd a little, but only for like 30 minutes out of boredom at once, and I hunt at ToT but mostly for PoTs. Bossing is by far faster and more fun to me.

I have only trained since 4th job achievement, for 2 reasons: 1- I am guildless 2- Good PC is broken, the crappy one I've been using is.. well... crappy

grinding to 140 bossing to 160 grinding to 180 bossing to 200 early stages depends on what skill build you got.

Actually, I train at zak and pap Training gives me 5.5% an hour at oblivion 3. A zak run takes under an hour and I get 10-15% with 3x (hs and 2x buff) Two pap runs with 2x buff give me 7.5% in about 20 minutes (10 min. per pap) I think u get the picture, unless I'm on 4x at time temple, bossing is the way to go. Not to mention, I typically profit (via loot) from the runs.

i personally started bossing alot more after maxing core bm skills: SE,BE,hurricane (Lv.150) ill probably keep bossing for rest of ms, cause grinding is too boring my main source of exp comes from anego, zak, and cwkpq, maybe a lil from pap? :D

I mostly train, sometimes boss here and there. Only problem with bossing is that I don't get to have fun with Pierce.

i train a bit more than bossing. my alliance is a highly bossing one (3 out of the 5 guilds are zak guilds, and 1 is even a HT squad guild) and being one of the only four 4th job bowmen (for SE) it's a heavy load lol, so i boss quite alot (zak at least 3 times a week, cwkpq twice a week, and HT once every 2 weeks) i like more training tho. i like farming PoTs and partying with bishops/AM's/any other job at skeles (pierce <3)
