Ask a Bowman Thread.

I don't think you should be sacrificing the attack from capes for strength; shoes are a much better candidate because facestompers are extremely expensive. You can probably make some ~9 str reverse shoes and level them up a bit for even more str.

current available equips is what i talk about. we dont have belts, or reverse weapons/equips. i forgot about rings.

alex i am no expert, but arent nisrocks 105 str to wear?

Hi.

I'm LV137 now with Maxed SE, 1 BE, 1 DB, 1 Phoenix and 21 Hurricane.

Next level, should I do 24 Hurricane or 3 Bow Expert (for +1 attack) and +1 Hurricane?

Is it worth maxing Hurricane as for now or should I focus on getting MW to level 9 by lv140?

I already know what I'm going to put points into, so this isn't a "what build is best" post.
Rather, I'm curious to see what other archers put their points into after maxing strafe and arrow rain/eruption. Just say "I put points in X because (reason here)" Thanks for your help.

I put 16 points into Puppet after I got Arrow Eruption, to lessen the potion cost at Typhons and help with the occasional Headless Horseman.

I feel this question is appropriate for the ask a bowman thread. So I shall ask it. How much would could a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood and he also had hurricane or snipe?

he would snipe a tree and hurricane a forest. then get pierced trough the eye by the woodchucker

Is the path from lv21 to lv30 Hurricane really worth leaving for later for maxing Bow Expert?

And how much do I benefit from early levels of Bow Expert.

9 points in hurricane get you 9% more dmg per arrow.

9 points in mastery get you 70% mastery AND 3 attack.

12 is 75% and 4 attack

16 is 80% and 5 attack

21 is 85% and 8 attack

27 is 90% and 9 attack.

get the drift?

Sounds like a plan.

90% mastery is hot ;] i love it.

i got BE27 then maxed hurricane ;] you won't regret it ;D

I think I got my Puppet to lvl9 at this point. I was training at Vikings and Squids though, and it helped a lot with luring.

Since HP Washing requires INT gear, isn't it possible to forge level 50 equips and use a High-Grade Wisdom Crystal to get 5 INT on each? It looks much cheaper than buying INT Saunas, earrings, and gloves.

With the Maker skill I can forge an overall, shoes, and gloves. When I add in a 15 INT Zhelm, it comes out to 30 INT. There's also the Deputy Star that adds 5 INT and I could get a 5 INT Napoleon along with 6 INT earrings. That creates a total of 50 INT (46 from equips + 4 base).

The problems I see with this are the price of High-Grade Wisdom Crystals and finding all the materials to forge everything.

Yes, this is a possibility. If we were lucky to have lvl 50 top and bottom itd be awesome. But yea, 5 from overall, 15 from helm and its 20, 5 on shoes and gloves and your at 30, 5 from dep star 5 from earrings (5 60%s) and its 40, and you can usualy find a 10 in nap every so often for cheap, so 50 int, 54~55 total. Just wear all those, plus the occasional event item adding lots of int, and by the time you hit 120, you should have a lot of extra MP.

What's more beneficial, a 28 dex 4 str arzuna or a 14/4 strdex top paired with 14 dex bottom? I was thinking of getting a Dragon Bow D=. Or should I just suck it up and get a metus?

Hmmm The arzuna of course would give better damage. My suggestion would be to use the arzuna (if you already have it) and wait til Maker comes, and make an overall with a High Grade DEX and High Grade STR, making it 10 STR and 11 DEX Clean (or is it 11/11? a-@), then you can easily scroll it to be better than both the overall and Top/Bottom.

So in your theory would you get a 115 metus with your current arzuna or switch to top/bottom and get a 116 dragon bow?

115 metus >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 116 dragon bow.

dont botter with tops and bottoms overalls its where all the cool kids go when maker comes out.

Yes, the Metus would be better, until you get to a good amount of STR from maker on your equips to use a Reverse Engaw.
