Ok so i just hit bowmaster about 10 days ago and i love it. Im a level 124 Bow master and I have an attack range of 2800-4600. I have 15% dex total (I know it sucks) I only have about 80m to buy new equips. I know its not much. I have a 133 attack 3 lined +6 Weapon attack potential on my engaw. I was wondering how to get a better range if my range sucks.

Short answer would be to cube. If you're unable to cube then you can try replacing your equipments. Idk what prices are in Windia, but I'm sure the cheapest upgrade for you would be the belt. You don't even have to pay anything, if you just do Mu Lung Dojo for a while. Once you get a better belt, get an enhancement** scroll. Maybe you'll get lucky and reveal some DEX %. Second would be your overall. That can be improved nicely, but I'm not sure how much it would cost in your world. Your gloves and cape seems good, but perhaps try adding potentials to them, as well. Since your shoes are epic (I'm assuming it's an epic 6%), I think they'll last you for a while.. until you decide to cube. Your helm can be upgraded next, though it may be a bit expensive to upgrade your items now. Try for a C.Zak with some DEX % clean so you don't have to cube. Lastly would be your MoN. It does give great attack, but a C.HTP would have helped a lot. Since you are aiming for DEX %, the extra DEX from the C.HTP would be affected by the DEX % as well. I realize you already have your STR requirement for your bow, but it would have been great if you had gotten a C.HTP before you got the bow. You wouldn't have needed to add so much STR. I'm assuming this upgrade will be most expensive for you because it would be in Bera. ~Good luck. Edit: **I meant potential scroll.

Your range isn't bad at all, and like previously said cubes are your friends. I think one of your better upgrades are your gloves. You can find 3 line (probably with 3%dex or better clean) and scroll them to 10 or 12 attack relatively easily and sell your scgs for a nice profit. I actually just made that upgrade myself on my BM and it had a fairly large impact for a relatively low cost (and I ended up making money after selling my old SCGs). Building up to the huge ranges really is about maximizing your %dex while maintaining as high of attack as you can. It's a pain in the ass but it'll pay off, oh and your bow is solid and will be your friend for a long time- get 30% boss damage on that and you can really start tearing some stuff up.

Let me introduce myself: My name is doepski, I'm a lvl 143 BM. My engaw is 114 atk and only 1 more level too goo. (btw, it's scrolled in a professional way with 0 slots left) My range is around 35xx-4176 clean. I consider myself.....well it doesn't matter what I think of myself. All I know is that I like playing as a BM, In 15 levels I haven't made much progress in terms of DMG range due the explodability of some adv. potential scrolls. And what I've learned so far is that comparing only leads to dissapointments, and that training is cool when you're in an organised 2xexchange party. Conclusion: You seem to outdmg me with much ease and I hope you're having as much fun playing a BM as I do. For the ones who think I'm sarcastic, well I'm not. Because when someone discoveres the Fun behind a class, you don't care about dmg so much anymore. I hope you all feel better now. You have an amazing range for your level which enables you too train faster and faster.

Doepski well that's ur opinion lawl. i do enjoy playing BM very much but i enjoy comparing my damage to people :P. DixieShot Thanks for the tip right now my range is only 2800-4600 again (it was 2900-4700) but i cubed my engaw and now it lost the +6 WA but w/e. Ive started cubing some 3 lined strawberry's and they have been cubed i think 18 times so far theyre epic and ive hit 6% dex twice. right now the potential is crap but im hoping to get more cubes soon. luckely my damage did not go down because i have those strawberrys ive been cubing. and i have my 2 lined epic 6% dex sword earings that i can sell after i get 15-21% dex on those strawberrys. Ive been wondering tho im getting 40 or 45k nx on monday and idk if its worth waiting 2-3 weeks from cubes to drop to 860 nx each. Should i buy monday for 1200 each? or wait till black friday?

wait, patience is important when it comes to money. Imagine how much more cubes you could buy when the prices are lower. Do the math and you'll see there is a higher chance of getting uniques!

[quote] raymond2436 : Shadowazn646 really i thought it was bad cuz i know people who are like only 6 lvls above me and they have +1000 more range then me. but maybe thats cuz they have like 60% dex and i only have 15% lolz [/quote] Dont worry, those guys that have that +1000 more than your upper range have the same feelings as you, they see guys that outclass them and have 6K range, and dont worry cause those guys with 6K that made them 5k'ers feel kinda small also feel the same as you do now when they see me. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a283/LordRahl769/nov2010-1.png My little attempt to turn an archer into a god. 4 years in the making so far. Ive heard of a few better yet on this side of big bang i just havent had the pleasure of actually meeting anyone. (Actually train under a stewed upper range of 9100 solo which crossess 10K with a decent maple warrior) Your archer is well above average and looking strong, keep hunting and leveling, keep searching out a little better gear and youll have a blast with your Bowmaster for a longgggg loonnggggg time

Ralh3 My range has got a little better from when i first posted this thread now im lvl 128 and i have a 4.8k range almost a 4.9k. Ive been attempting to cube some 3 lined strawberrys and hope for the best. Ive not cool tho. Ive cubed them 43 times and theyre still epic -_-. once i get unique im hoping for 15,18, or 21% dex that will raise my range from 300-700 ish.
