Well as the tittle inclines, I finally made BowMaster*My second 4th jober aside from my drk..both of which are my favorite classes in all rpg games* ANYWAY~ Back to the point. With the first 3 sp i got from job advancing i put one on hurricane and 2 on se. Though im thinking i should place one in Drgaon breath when i get it*need a stanceless warrior for that.Hard to find...SO MUCH TROUBLE!* But Besides that im confused on how to go about maxing these 4 skills. In what order should i do it for Stable*not godly* damage and fast leveling. By stable i mean hurricane NOT doing 8xx-9ks with se lvl 2. Sharp eyes Hurricane BowExpert Concentrate. Which order should i max this in for Stable damage and fast killing at ToT/Skele's mini dungeon. Thank you all for any help you can provide! *This is a repost because i did not get a single comment, let alone any advice while posting this in the bowman thread earlier this morning.*

First: 1 hurr, 2SE 2nd: 1 DB, 2 SE 3rd: Max SE Next max Hurricane and Bow Expert at the same time then go for mw20 or 30 after that it doesnt really matter

For skeles, pierce and hurricane are recommended. At ToT, Pierce, hurricane, and some dragon breath are needed. (http://www.basilmarket.com/MapleStory-Guide-Archer-Training-Reference-224.html) I took all that from the training reference. ^^^

maxing se 1st is the best way to go if you plan to be party train,since it doubles your damage literally,not to mention its always wanted in boss runs which is where the best exp is at.Not to mention you get more criticals. maxing hurricane 1st will increase your damage but your damage will be very unstable.Example,you'll be hitting from 1000 to lets say 15k per arrow,it gives damage but unstable damge maxing bowexpert 1st will stable your damage but it will give you the smallest damage boost of the three.Example,lets say at level 1 hurricane you do from 500-1000 per arrow,once you max bow expert you'll be doing 900 minimum,but it won't really exceed 1000. From personal experience(have a 139 bowmaster)I did maxed se then did 16 in expert and now i'm maxing hurricane,then going back to max BE,although i did put 1 point into DB and inferno bird. Edit:My build is a bossing build so,its up to you,for bossing/party build follow this,for solo then go hurricane then be then se.

SE (with one to hurricane and dragon breath just because you want the coolness and are done with smacking mobs around) Hurricane Bow Expert Concentrate is meh. BMs I've known have gotten mw to 10 before working on it.

i'd suggest to let Hurricane in 1, Dragon Breath in 1 and then you max Sharp Eyes

1 cane, 2 se. Then max se. Then I went 21 BE (because it gives master AND 10 atk) then max cane, then finish BE. then I went 10 mw then maxed concentrate. then mw20. then I got inferno to 21 to make it easier for me to find rgs (burn on reg mobs) then some phoenix and heros will now i'm just bored w/ sp waiting until I can get mw30.

I don't think it was that bad, but my parents can't understand it... it's only a small percentage of my income so it's not like I'm even blowing ALL my money or anything!

For general training, the consensus I've reached is mostly the same as above. However for post-BB efficiency: 120: 1 Hurr, 2 SE 121: 1 Expert, 1 Phoenix, 1 DB 122+: Max SE, then build Hurricane and Expertise evenly. (Since you emphasized stable damage) Remember, Post-BB, Phoenix stuns at 95%, Expertise adds critical and Concentrate is boosted to +35 attack. It also halves the cost of potions, assuming you're sniping newts and not using HP potions. Adjust your build accordingly! Here's to hoping that you don't fail any mastery books, haha.

Why get one in Phoenix? Hawk will be more useful until Phoenix is at a later level, unless Phoenix has a 95% to stun at lvl1.
