Ask a Bowman Thread.

Five questions.

1. Which quests do I have to do to get Snipe and Pierce? I've captured Articuno and know how to get Hero's Will. MMB, SE, Blind and MW were given to me when I advanced, and Dragon Breath is acquired from El Nath PQ. Legor wants me to find Athena Pierce's glove, will that give me Pierce or Snipe? Which quest will give me the other?

2. How exactly do you do El Nath PQ? All I know is that you need a stanceless warrior. Does it always drop if you have a Bowman in the party? If not, will the warrior always get Stance, making me have to recruit another?

3. I have 136 Total Weapon Attack, 101 Total Strength, 633 Total Dex, roughly 4k HP with equips and 2.1k MP (I washed a bit and blooded 3 points), how do I suck less?

4. Should I just do an SE-first build and attempt to get into boss runs on that merit? If passing skillbooks is anything like scrolling, I'm going to need to buy a metric pomegranate-ton, so I'll need money for all of them. And I need one of those fancy DEX-scrolled helmets and potentialed overalls and what-not.

5. Where should I be training after Newts? Should I just be doing the ToT quests until I find one of the maps suitable to camp in?

I'll wager I'll be ninja'd but here.

1. Ancient Book (sharks drop, the green book) gets you to the quest for Snipe, in deep dungeon, a quest map where you kill 300 jr rogs for the skill. That glove quest is for pierce.

2. It's an NPC defense PQ, monsters come in waves, it drops from said monsters along with some other books. If you don't find it till 30 seconds left, hope the warrior doesn't mind going in again.

3. The game's perfection standards are out the window now. Just get to a level you feel comfortable with and don't always compare yourself to others. That's the only way I can get by. For actual details, ask a stat hoar.

4. Can't answer, I solo.

5. Can't answer, haven't "trained" in almost two years.
