[h=info]Contents[/h] [ch=About]About this Guide[/ch] [ch=Intro]Introduction[/ch] [ch=Why]Why Should i Choose an Archer?[/ch] [ch=The]The Skills of an Archer[/ch] [ch=Job]Job advancement Archer to Hunter[/ch] [h=info]About this Guide[/h] We'll this is my first guide and since the Hunter Class has no guide i decided i would attempt to make one . So feel free to correct my errors and add constructive critisism. Thanks ahead! Please note that This is still under construction, i have yet to put in 3rd and 4th job info. [h=info]Introduction[/h] Hai there :D! Welcome to my guide for Hunters,Rangers,and Bowmasters for the game maplestory. I have played this game for quite some time, and this class is one that I feel I have enough experience to make a guide on. I made this guide because basil needs a Bowman->Bowmaster ( BM ) guide. So I hope you enjoy this guide, and it helps you become a better player yourself! [h=info]Why Should i Choose an Archer?[/h] Actually, It's entirely up to you but to persuade you here are some pros and cons of archers Pros: -Main Stat is DEX which let's you hit monsters that have high Avoid -Attacks from A-far -wanted for SE ( Sharp eyes ) -pretty cheap equipment and scrolls -very high ranged damage -gets very effective mob-controlling skills after the 2nd job advancement -Great DPM (damage per Minute ) and/or DPS (damage per Second) -Summons many things -Puppet is Great in 3rd job Cons: -Low hp May need to Blood wash or Hp wash to Boss -is a class of patience (Lvling isn't as fast during lower levels ) -damage is very unstable until Bow/Crossbow Mastery (2nd job skill) -arrows can't be recharged like throwing stars and don�t have many different types (bronze arrow, diamond, etc.), On the contrary they are pretty cheap in Npc stores. and you get Soul arrow which now uses the attack of the arrows equipped but doesn't waste it. - Can't Pot while using Hurricane [h=info]Ability Point Distribution[/h] So you�re going to be a Bowmaster someday, but thing is, you don�t know how! Well that is what I am here for, and I plan to assist you along the way as best to my ability. Your primary stat is Dex. This brings up your accuracy and Maximum damage Your secondary stat is STR. This lets you wear most equips and brings up your minimum damage Luck and Int, are worthless to archers, so to be one it is ideal to keep them as low as possible. Based on your funding With Decent Funding: Most hunters that are decently funded go low Str and have equips like Depstars Zhelms and Str Robes. This helps them hit high and be able to equip their weaqpons at the same time. they cap ( or stop ) their str at 30-50 str depending on how much mesos they have. With no Funding: With no funding you should have your str = to your level + 5 so if you were lvl 30 you would have 35 str ; Dex however you would want to put as much dex as you can. With alot of Funding: With alot of funding Bowmen can go strless which is 4 str and they may wear stuff like zhelms maplekand

spiritrivalThere is a guide in the Bowman forum already. In your cons list, Soul Arrow doesn't take the Atk of the arrows you have equipped. Your damage range is with those Atk arrows, not with Soul Arrow, even if you have Soul Arrow activated. Check the Bowman FAQ in the Bowman forum for more information. Double Shot is better than Arrow Blow in terms of overall damage due to Critical Shot. Again, check the Bowman FAQ for more information. Do not bother with putting all of the skills in the guide. It makes your guide a lot longer for no reason. Instead, you should provide a link to skills elsewhere. BasilMarket already has all of the skills up in the Classes section.
