Ask a Bowman Thread.

So due to Scania's nightly rollbacks, i have now lost my 10 attack workglove. As a result, my bowmaster now has no glove at all. My monies is a little low to be buying anything fancy nowadays, so 70-90 mil would be my best bet for a decent glove. But seeing as i haven't needed to buy one recently, what would be the best glove i could get for my price range?

Go find a level 70+ Glove with potential from a monster.

Or ask me to make a clean arcina for free! xD

Btw, Pap and newties drop level 100 bowman gloves like crazy.

Because of my switch of bows Im currently looking to replace my current shoes. Stats are really crappy just made them to use my reverse(6 STR, 5DEX, and 9 Jump) What would be something not too expensive to replace it. Not looking to spend over 100m on a shoe atm.

Literally, your cheapest option is to go out and hunt for monsters that drop bowman shoes until you find one with potential and pray.

It's hard to actually give a price since older equips are still deflating along with both flavors of potential scrolls.

Pap and newties drop the most level 100 bowman equips.

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.

Ancient Book also drops in CWKPQ, so if Yellonde has CWKPQers, then you may have a good chance of finding it.

Thanks guys.

The CWK thing'll be convenient. I can coax my guild into doing runs or threaten "No SE for you!" and get a MoN while I'm at it.

I was told Kargo dropped them when i asked on basil though, any truth to that?

And what are we defending the NPC from? Flyeyes? Those things seem to show up everywhere, sooo...

Can I just spam Blizzard to keep the mobs at bay like with Magatia PQ, or are the ice-resistant since the PQ is in Nath?

Kargos do not drop Ancient Books, AFAIK.

You will be defending Tylus from Lycans and Crimson Balrogs. In your case, you will be spamming Arrow Eruption.

Hey guys, I made this neschere a couple days ago and I was wondering if it is good enough to be my final xbow. Also, is there a formula to calculate what attack xbow is needed to beat this one?

I would kill for that. Just sayin'.
I think it should be good enough for endgame... but too bad that last potential stat isn't awesome too

Got my new shoes today n_n Raised my range by 100.

Keep or cube em?

Are you trying to make them your end-game shoes or just use them temporarily? If you want them to be your end-games shoes, I would sell them and look for a 3 bonus shoe and then cube the shoe.

If you are the latter, then it depends on how much you are willing to spend on cubes. A 3% dex bonus easily beats a static 15 dex bonus, but since stats are randomized, it may take a few cubes to get the desired stat.

Hi, I'm a lvl 122 BM and I have 6 SE, 1 Hurricane, 1 Phoenix, and 1 BE. I plan on maxing SE first..and I wanted to know if that would be the best choice. What would be the second skill to max? I was thinking of BE 'cause it adds wep atk and would make my damage more stable..right? Sorry if the questions are noob lol I'm a fairly new bowmaster and I want to make sure I'm doing my build correctly so I don't mess up anywhere. xD

By the way, my current damage range is 2146~3537..is that good for my lvl?

If you plan on bossing, SE first is viable. As for afterwards, i think hurricane to 11 and a mix of BE (as much as you can afford to do) is the general build. You should also try to get dragon pulse- helps buttloads everywhere. Your range seems fine, but what do i know? i have 30 points into HP. my range hasn't been normal for a while.

Thanks lol and yeah, I'm planning on getting one dragon pulse next lvl. When would be the best time to max hurricane?

I heard BE/CBE actually does more damage than SE pre-BB.

I know it's probably somewhere but is snipe 1m now? I heard it was nerfed to 500k somewhere but the cooldown decreased from 10 to 5 secs. Also is the lag that makes cooldowns longer removed post-BB or do cooldowns still require a second more than it says on the skill description?
