Although you’ll often be 6 hitting with AR, training here is fairly awkward and requires a fair amount of maneuvering to be effective.
STICK RANGER LEVELING GUIDE HOW TO
Recommendations/Notes: Here’s a good video tutorial explaining how to train here effectively. Level Range: 85+ (80+ also works, but isn’t as effective) You want to have as much Hawk, Puppet and Strafe as possible. Furthermore, Nightshadows and Windraiders are auto-aggro, which is always helpful. The map layout is also pretty nice, with plenty of sniping locations littered across the map. Recommendations/Notes: Like Windraiders, Nightshadows have 1 KB, move slowly, and have a tiny range for their magic attack. Due to the high spawn you’ll more or less be 6 hitting consistently.ĮXP/HP: 19.4 (Nightshadow), 20.0 (Windraider) Recommendations/Notes: AR allows you to simply stand on the stairs and spam. Still, good use of Arrow Bomb helps mitigate this problem somewhat. Recommendations/Notes: Training here actually becomes quite a bit harder once you reach 3rd job because of Strafe’s low base damage spread over 4 shots, making KB’ing monsters difficult. Overall Rating: B+ (without AR), A (with AR) Unfortunately, two of the best training spots for rangers (Newties and Typhons) don’t work properly in this version, so good training locations are severely limited. Whether you choose to go STRless or low STR depends on your future plans, but as a general rule of thumb, below are the damage comparisons for each level range (Obviously, the damage depends on your overall funding, but the above table is mostly accurate):Ĩ8: +1 AR, +1 Inferno, +1 Strafe ĮND: 30 Strafe, 30 AR, 20 Puppet, 20 MB, 29 Hawk, 6 Thrust, 16 Inferno (IV.4) Training Locations
Note that unlike other classes, archer armor has no STR requirements. This forces you to equip bows without STR requirements such as the Maple Bow, Maple Kandiva Bow, or the Bow of Magical Destruction. (I.2) STRless and Comparison:Ī STRless bowman is exactly what it sounds like: you add no STR. The above strategy gives you slightly more DEX and thus slightly more damage during levels 51-53, while still allowing you to wear your Cao Cao bow at level 54.Īs a final note, make sure to take into account your STR from equipment! If your bow gives +2 STR, you must add 2 extra STR to ensure you can wear your next bow. The next couple of levels should proceed as follows: I have a level 50 Hunter, and I want to equip a level 54 Cao Cao bow by level 54, which requires 58 STR. However, being low STR requires a bit of planning ahead.
As a side note, I don’t consider “Normal STR” to be an actual build. As mentioned above, you never want to add more STR than you need. (I.1) Low STR:Įssentially, being low STR is adding just enough STR, with all of your STR gear, to wear equip your desired bow, and pumping the remaining points into DEX. Now there are two main ways you can build an archer: (I.1) Low STR or (I.2) STRless. INT is important if you wish to HP wash later on. Intelligence: As high as possible, without affecting the other statsĭEX adds more damage than STR and gives accuracy, so the only real purpose of STR is to equip bows. Strength: As high as possible (unless you plan on going pure STRless, then 4-5) Thus, when you roll, your stats should be something of similar to the following: Minimum Damage = Maximum Damage * (% Mastery)Īs you can see, damage is largely based upon DEX and STR. (I) AP Build and Background InformationĪ bowman’s damage range is calculated as follows: (IV.4) Training Locations (V): Fourth Job Advancement (III.4) Training Locations (IV): Third Job Advancement (II.4) Training Locations (III): Second Job Advancement (I.3) HP Washing and INT (II): First Job Advancement Contents: (I): AP Build and Background Information
(NOTE: If you don’t want to read a whole bunch of analysis or explore your options and just want my recommendations, search for “(VI): Summary”) We have skills such as Dragon's Breath, Puppet, Arrow Bomb, Hawk, Power Knockback, etc. More importantly, using proper strategy is extremely important due to the low HP. The myriad of attacking skills used (Arrow Bomb, Arrow Rain, Strafe, Inferno, Hurricane) make training largely variable. I have written this guide because the Bowman is by far my favorite class. Most information is taken from the site:, but some data (Arrow Bomb, Inferno, Strafe, etc…) is inaccurate, and I note these discrepancies in the sections below. Much of the information regarding the skill build and training spot is based off of personal preference due to the large variance in potential archer builds. This guide is written by me (CosmynX) and is specific to v62.
