I started completely new from scratch in ems and started as a bowman (now im thinking its a bad idea) But now i got 30 mil to spend but i dont know whether to save up for a zhelm or get another bow or is there something better i could invest in? My damage range is 867~1136 (i know its low) This the equips i got atm(bear in mind lots.of my 60% and 10% scrolling have failed soyea): Black falcon clean(4 dex 1 str) Orange tai(8dex 5str scrolled 100%s with 2 slots left) 5atk wg given by a friend Blue gore boots(3 dex 2 str) Kandiva bow clean 78 atk Napoleon cape 5dex 1 slot Lilin ring 2 Yellow belt So which one should i invest in zhelm, bow or something else?

woah you're doing something completely wrong! Maybe its just me? My lv 52 WA does 900(something)~1120 already. I don't have any godly equips either. I have a 6 att bwg and a z helm. Everything else is even trashier. Whats ur base str?

[quote] Perensap : You recieve 1 more AP every level up. That's why. [/quote] Yeah but does that really compensate for a 24 lv difference? I currently have received 312 ap points and he's received 380. So he wins in ap and he wins in overall lv (better generall accuracy). My bow is a normal lv 50 (unscrolled) bow. Looks like he has a lv 64 bow. Im also not exagerating my damage range. I don't mean to put him down but that damage seems insanely low for his lv. Can any other archer vouch for me?

My base str is like 65 and im planning on capping there and yea ems only gets like 5 ap every lvl up I know my range is low i must be doing something wrong but i thought maybe i got crappy equips was the reason it was so low Btw WA are naturally stronger than normal till like lvl 130.

[/quote] Hmm alright. I dont really know much about archers but ur str seems really high. I capped mine at 30. And why apply str if you have a kandiva? just wondering.

I say u get that z helm first. Try and get an underpriced one. And to make extra money, do some easy scroll quests if u havent already. For example, subanis legacy.

There must be a typo in your damage range, you cant have that much mastery at 3rd job.
