Ask a Bowman Thread.

So.. seeing as the date of BB is currently unknown. Here's a list of questions I would love to have answered:
1) Should I wait it out and make a BM/XBM then or should I start now?
2) Can I make a decent BM with 50m at the most for funding?

1) I'd wait till post-BB since it's 70% easier then. Lower class skills were also improved greatly. Right now BM sucks till fourth job and CBM sucks afterwards.
2) If you plan on HP washing, you'd need enough to have a set of INT equips. Otherwise, doesn't matter.

Thanks for the response Worthy. here comes a few more questions:
1) What's the order of things to upgrade?
2) Str bonus equips or dex bonus equips? An explanation of why would be helpful as well.

1) I saw somewhere that weapons are statistically the most important equipment to buy/scroll. The odds of getting +1 ATK is much better than the odds of getting the equivalent (5.4?) on your primary stat (in this case DEX)
2) If you plan on going statless, it might be cheaper going stat bonus till you can get (potential) equips that gives tons of bonus stats. Otherwise, doesn't really matter. Again ATK>>>STR/DEX/LUK (INT post-BB)
