Ask a Bowman Thread.

I've been to Gobi's before on my old Ranger, but I was wondering if using Blizzard was more beneficial to training now that I had it. Just wondering if things changed a bit for a Sniper I suppose.

I find blizzard makes puppet completely useless. Just me though.

Now that I got the hang of Blizzard I don't see the point of Puppet for myself really. I think I'm foregoing putting 6 points in it and just getting an early 21 Blizzard to be honest.

I've been considering 21 blizzard early, as I use blizzard constantly .. almost as much as strafe.

puppet has its uses. i really think lv 6 is good and should get it before putting points into blizzard. more than 1 that is. but it ll depends on how you play. still if you ever mess up with blizzard at gobys, it helps get them off your face and kil them easy. your choice though

Ok. A couple of questions....

1) Last year I quit my lvl 82 Ranger to make a Priest, I have screwed up stats (the bowman was my first char almost 2 years ago and had NO clue what I was doing) like 12 INT and 8 LUK, and on target with my dex and str. So I guess is it worth continuing? I don't want to buy resets for it because I don't know if I'm going to continue to play it really. My SP are screwed up as well because with me not knowing anything about bowman, I just kinda added points where ever. And when I started I didn't know anyone, and when I asked, people were complete douche bags

2) It has a shitty red arund and no equips, what would be some good equips to buy?

Is it worth continuing? THat's your call. However, consider this: Your archer will be 2.5 levels weaker (due to 12 less AP into dex) than archers with the same equip. If you're one of those nx people with tonnes of 2x cards, I'd say 8x is easily reachable in weeks (especially if you have a high level'd char to help train it). Then again, if you like training at a slow, languid pace, there's nothing wrong with continuing it.

As for what to buy, you can find out from my Where to buy thread that's a link or two below this (Just look in the "2nd list" which has items at reasonable prices. That should be good enough at least for now unless you're uber funded).

Hope this helps.

Anyone have a guide they can recommend to me so i can try to gobi? =P

-is a failure at training efficiently and quickly, but still enjoys grinding for some reason-

Only thing I remember from the guide that's inaccurate is that bone fish do 1.8k dmg, not 2.8k.

Does anyone have a bowman guide for where to put all points? Not just 3rd job ones?

Do we have an approximation on average prices of 4th job mastery books?

out of curiosity...

book prices depend heavily on your server.

i could give you windia prices but, but they prob are no where close to scanias

Yeah, our SE 20 is 150 mill and our SE 30 is close to 100 mill. I bet its probably half that in Windia xD

Actually, it's pretty much the same. There's some jackass buying and monopolizing them all.

Oh really? cause I remember hearing on buddy that the SE 30's in Bera or some server were REALLY cheap and that someone in Scania could immigrate over, buy em out and move back and make tonnes of profit.

In Bera it's like 5 mil, but some people have been selling them as high as 20.

Is the commonly used Ranger build to max everything but Inferno now?

Or is it worth putting extra points into Inferno now?

I'd say the 21/22 inferno is standard? (Not sure). I'd say thrust isnt worth getting so there's nothing else but inferno.

That's the general build I see out there. The other one is 21 hawk and max inferno.

Inferno doesn't have much real use in training, apart from being a non-stunning mob attack though, right?

Archers don't really train on anything fire weak, do they? Unless there is something in Leafre that I haven't researched or something.

any of you have tips for a high 9x ranger to survive ergoth of the guild quest?

Also anyone have a guide for the Guild quest.. I have a feeling i will be doing more soon and i would like to learn how to do this...

If you have HyperBody, you should be fine. Ergoth is cake (Me and 2 other Guildies Triod it when we were all level 9x. Only took 20 minutes )

As for a guide? I think Hidden Street has an OK one. All guilds tend to do stage 1 different though.

Also, I'd say 21 Inferno is standard, but 1 Inferno is pretty close as far as popularity.
Personally, I'd sooner get 11 Blizzard than get less then 21 Inferno. It may be weaker than AR, but it's a Ranger's final distance mob skill, and it outdamages Hurricane on 5+ monsters (When Both are Maxed, with any level of SE)
